Our mini-series of activities representing a NASA-Ontolog-KMWG 
collaboration was launched on Thursday 08-November-2007. 
Entitled: "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision Support 
(OKMDS)," this initiative is co-organized by a team of 
individuals from these communities passionate about creating the 
opportunity for an inter-community, collaborative exploration of 
the intersection between Ontology, Knowledge Management and 
Decision Support, that could eventually lead us toward "Better 
Decision Making." Jeanne and Yim presented to the participants 
the objectives, the plan, the format, and some of the questions 
the OKMDS leadership team thought we could explore over the next 
6 months. Community members are being solicited to provide 
further input on how we could/should proceed, and are invited to 
participate and collaboratively explore the issues on the subject 
matter.    (01)

Ms. Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge Architect of NASA/JPL, and Mr. 
Andrew Schain, Chief Technology Officer at NASA/HQ spoke and gave 
us the NASA story on the subject.    (02)

This virtual event was offered in our normal augmented conference 
call settings, and simultaneously at the NASA/JPL Explorer Island 
in the "Second Life" virtual world settings.    (03)

A big "thank you" to Jeanne, Andy and everyone (a huge crowd 
indeed) who took the time to join us.    (04)

Proceedings of the session are captured on our wiki page, at: 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2007_11_08    (05)



In particular, full audio recording of the session, as well as 
the podcast of it, are now available - see:

We have created a new [okmds-convene] forum for the online 
discourse, which Kurt Conrad and Ken Baclawski will help us 
kick-start shortly. I'll begin by subscribing everyone who have 
already indicated interest by registering for the 10/25 & 11/08 
events (if you want to opt out, please e-mail me offline). We 
invite those who are interested (and have not registered) to sign 
on. Details can be found at: 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2007_11_08#nid15T9     (07)


As mentioned, this "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision 
Support (OKMDS)" mini-series will span the next 6 months, so stay 
tuned. Our next event is scheduled for 13-Dec-2007, mark your 
calendars now. Details will be formally announced, and posted on:

*REMINDER*    (015)

The launch event of the joint NASA-Ontolog "Ontology in Knowledge 
Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series is coming up 
tomorrow, i.e. Thursday, 8-November-2007 (starting at 10:30am PST 
/ 1:30pm EST / 6:30pm BST / 7:30pm CEST / 18:30 UTC).    (016)

Come to this session to see, and even influence, how we plan to 
proceed with the series. We are working toward creating the 
opportunity for an inter-community, collaborative exploration of 
the intersection between Ontology, Knowledge Management and 
Decision Support, that could eventually lead us toward "Better 
Decision Making."    (017)

Speaking at the event will be, Ms. Jeanne Holm, Chief Knowledge 
Architect of NASA/JPL, and Mr. Andrew Schain, Chief Technology 
Officer at NASA/HQ.    (018)

This virtual event will be offered in our normal 'real world' 
augmented conference call settings, and also (simultaneously) at 
the NASA/JPL Explorer Island in the "Second Life" 'virtual world' 
settings. The latter is for those who are familiar with, or who 
would want to explore the possibilities of virtual world events. 
(I've been asked by quite a few, and would like to explain here, 
that ...) An attendee will be able to attend the session remotely 
just by having phone and Internet access. Slides and audio 
recording of the session will be made available after the event too.    (019)

*RSVP* (by e-mailing the sender off-line; if you aren't already a 
[KMgov] or Ontolog member, kindly include your name, affiliation 
and job title as well) if you are planning to attend and haven't 
already responded.    (020)

We look forward to having you at the session. Please refer to all 
agenda and call-in details on the session page, whose link 
appears at the top of this message.    (021)
