The ideas below refer to a Bayesian approach to “novel” or test data XML generation from the root of the document hierarchically out to the leaves with probabilities for nodes, relationships and attributes appearing in an ontology, because I have no other current place to put it. Other suggestions are welcome. Thus I am making advance to the Ontology working group to provide for probabilities in the OWL/RDF. There may be a better place for the probabilities (discuss), see Emitter nodes.
