*REMINDER*    (02)

The 6th event of the joint NASA-Ontolog-KMWG "Ontology in Knowledge
Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series is coming
tomorrow - Thursday, 20-March-2008 (starting at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm
EDT / 17:30 UTC).    (03)

Presenting at this episode of the OKMDS mini-series will be Dr. Jeff
Conklin (CogNexus), Dr. Simon Buckingham Shum (KMi), Mr. Eric Yeh
(SRI) & Mr. Jack Park (SRI), with Ms. Jeanne Holm (NASA/JPL) and Mr.
Peter Yim co-chairing the session.    (04)

As the other session on the OKMDS mini-series, 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. Again, 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. ]    (05)

Join us tomorrow when our invited gurus are expected to share with us,
some of the state-of-the-art research and implementations on
hypermedia discourse that would "make sense" in terms of harnessing
collective knowledge to solve problems or support decisions.    (06)

*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.    (07)

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.    (08)



Regards,    (09)
