******************** Details ************************ (07)
This "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)"
mini-series is a collaboration between NASA, Ontolog and the (US)
Federal Knowledge Management Working Group (KMWG), and is co-organized
by a team of individuals from various related 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." (08)
The mini-series will span a period of about six months (Nov-2007 to
May-2008), during which we are featuring Talks, Panel Discussions and
Online Discourse on pertinent issues. We expect all the talks and
panel discussion events to be offered in both 'real world' (augmented
conference calls) and 'virtual world' (Second Life) settings. (09)
Please refer to details about this mini-series on the OKMDS project
homepage, at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OKMDS (010)
You are cordially invited to join us at the three upcoming sessions: (011)
*Thu 17 Apr 2008* - OKMDS-session-06 - "Knowledge Mapping for
Sensemaking" with invited speakers Dr. Jeffrey Conklin (CogNexus
Institute), Dr. Simon Buckingham Shum (KMi, The Open University, UK),
Mr. Eric Yeh (SRI) and Mr. Jack Park (SRI). Our panel will be sharing
with us various "knowledge mapping" approaches to managing
information, knowledge and decisions and allude to their efficacy in
dealing with, among others, the class of problems known as "wicked
problems," that decision makers and knowledge workers would invariably
encounter. Please refer to details on the session page at:

*Thu 08 May 2008* - OKMDS-session-07 - Invited Speaker session with
Professor Yochai Benkler (Harvard), whose seminal work "Coase's
Penguin, or Linux and the Nature of the Firm" (NYU, 2002)

economy, and the author of "The Wealth of Networks: How Social
Production Transforms Markets and Freedom" (Yale, 2006), will be
joining us for the session. Please refer to details (closer to the
