Brand, (01)
Thank you very much for the prompt response, and the material you have
forwarded. (02)
> I would prefer either April 8th or 22nd ... (03)
Let's confirm the Thu 22-Apr-2004 1:30pm to 3:00pm EST time for the
session. (04)
We now have (a) a date -- as above and (b) your bio. How about if I
use the following for (c) the title and (d) the abstract of your talk? (05)
//
TITLE: Harmonizing Semantics in E-Government (06)
ABSTRACT: Dr. Brand Niemann will be talking to us about some of the
E-Government initiatives that he is involved in -- including work
related to the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), Data and
Information Reference Model (DRM) and Web Services Semantic
Interoperability Community of Practice.
// (07)
Kindly review the above draft, and make whatever modification you see
fit. I'll start the presentation session wiki page once I get back the
confirmed copy and/or the ok from you. With that, I will make the
announcement to the community. (08)
I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that Marion Royal
from GSA (who is also a member of the ontolog community) had
previously spoken to our group (during our Nov-2003 face-to-face
workshop in San Francisco) under the title "E-Gov Status and Reference
Model Developments" (see:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologWorkshop_Nov_2003#nid0126).
Material that he has covered could probably be glossed over, so that
we can hear more from you as to how you see CoP's like the ontolog
forum can effectively contribute to the goals you have in mind. (09)
Once again, thank you for agreeing to talk to us. (010)
Thanks & regards,
PPY (011)
P.S. My apologies for the follow-up phone call. I obviously did
receive the message. Somehow, despite the fact that you posted it last
evening, there were system delays, to the extent that it did not
arrive until after I had checked my email this morning. -ppy

>>Dear Brand,
>>
>>Further to our discussion last week (when I was attending your
>>remarkable Emerging Technology Component conference at FOSE), I have
>>the pleasure in confirming the invitation to you to speak during one
>>of our regular ontolog-forum weekly conference calls in April 2004.
>>Our calls are generally scheduled for Thursdays, 1:30pm to 3:00pm
>>Eastern Time. The event will be in the form of a virtual presentation
>>(approx. 45 min.) over a phone conference that is augmented by online
>>presentation material, followed by an open discussion (about 30 min.).
>>
>>As mentioned, the other [ontolog] co-conveners and I are looking
>>towards bringing some of our activities at [ontolog] to more closely
>>align with pertinent government strategies and initiatives; and to
>>foster working relationships with government groups that are working
>>on similar topic areas. Your talking to the group and affording us a
>>chance to have an open dialog would be most helpful towards that end.
>>
>>As a starter, may I suggest Thu 15-Apr-2004 1:30~3:00pm EST. If that
>>doesn't work, maybe you could see if 4/8 or 4/22 might work for you.
>>
>>I shall look forward to receiving from you:
>>
>>(a) a confirmation of the above speaking date (or provide alternatives
>>so that we can quickly tie the date down),
>>
>>(b) a short biographic sketch of yourself. In addition, if you can
>>provide (links to) slightly more extended bio/intro of you and your
>>work, that would be even better. It would be fine if you just supply
>>the URL's to these material (if something appropriate is already
>>available online),
>>
>>(c) a title of your talk, and
>>
>>(d) an abstract of your talk (a few sentences will do).
>>
>>Once I get the above, I will start circulating the information among
>>the community, so that people could mark their calendars and plan to
>>attend. Closer to the time, I will coordinate with you on getting your
>>powerpoint or other presentation material online, so that they could
>>be accessed virtually during the talk.
>>
>>For your reference, please feel free to check out the wiki pages of
>>similar recent presentations, like the ones given by Leo Obrst of
>>MITRE (see
>>http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Conference_Call_2004-01-15),
>>or by Steve Ray of NIST (see
>>http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_02_12).
>>
>>Once again, thank you very much for agreeing to speak to, and having a
>>dialog with our community. I shall look forward to the event, and to
>>collaborating with the eGov initiatives that you, Susan and Tony are
>>spearheading.
>>
>>Sincerely,
>>PPY

>>Peter P. Yim
>>[ontolog] forum, co-convener
