When selecting a language, how does one know when it has the 'least power'?
o Is Assembler less or more powerful than C?
o Is C less or more powerful than C++?
o Is Lisp less or more powerful than Prolog?
o Is RDF less or more powerful than Conceptual Graphs?
o Are Conceptual Graphs more or less powerful than Topic Maps?
o Are DTDs less or more powerful than Schematron?
A principle or axiom is of no value without the rules for applying it.
