The Introspector project has realigned itself with a new set of goals
that are achievable. After more than a year of research into the
semantic web and the dotgnu system, I have concluded that the main
goals of the introspector can be reached much more quickly with much
easier goals.

The original goal of the introspector was the extraction of metadata
from the GCC. The DotNet system presents you with much more metadata
then you could ever want.

The dotgnu/pnet system is GPLed and has tools to be able to
disassemble, to assemble and run C/IL binaries from DotNet.

RDF is the cornerstone of the semantic web, Redland is an great library
for processing RDF.

The new introspector module will allow you to convert your IL code into
RDF for semantic markup and also to be able to assemble RDF back into
dot net binaries.

The later versions will also allow the tracing of the execution of your
programs in rdf.

These features will unite the semantic web and the dotnet world.
Programs and Executions can be treated as data, Data can be treated as
Logical statements and fed into proof engines.

Also, you will be able to transform your rdf and xml files into the
Introspector rdf for translation into binaries.

The end result will also be the ability to semantically mark up IL code
for converting it into a new language, opening up a new world of
semantic progamming to DotNet.
