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:

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)
