All,    (01)

The session page for this Thursday's session is now up.    (02)

See: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_01_17    (03)

Please feel free to edit -- modify, add information, add resources,
etc. as you see fit.
You may send me your edits too.    (04)

Again: please make sure I can have your slides by noon tomorrow
(Jan-16), or let me know if you need some additional time for us (so
that I can schedule around that.)    (05)

Looking forward to another great OKMDS session ...    (06)

Thanks & regards.  =ppy
