Ontology Eng. and the Semantic Web (03)
Of course this summer school is a competitor, in a sense. (04)
In my opinion, we should differentiate by focusing on *ontological analysis*
for information systems in general (as opposed to ontology engineering for the
semantic web), and by conveying, in the presentation material, our idea of the
"Vespucci style" focused on in-depth discussions. (05)
We should move on, anyway! (06)
Cheers, (07)
