Question 1Background
Provide a brief description of your background

      "I've worked for MITRE Corp (a not-for-profit corporation working in the interest of the American public) more in the systems analysis and project management areas than in technical development--the fun stuff. Currently, I am also a graduate at Geo. Mason Univ, Fairfax, VA.  Dissertation research is investigating metrics of ontology developments that will support identification of quantifiable and qualitative benefits and costs of ontologies.  I'm looking for information that a project manager would look for on which to base sound business decisions.  Any metrics or data information anyone has would be greatly appreciated and also, would be kept confidentially."
