Dear Professor Dogac, (01)
Thank you for the quick response. I am glad I send this follow-up
(since I don't think I got your last response ... but these days,
with so much spamming and spam filter activities, anything can
happen to mail messages!) (02)
Thanks for updating your namesake wiki page. I did a little
re-formatting (hope you don't mind.) However, please continue to
add content and modify it as you see fit ... it's YOUR page! (03)
Nice to hear that you are looking towards doing a demo. Closer to
the time, let me know what tools you will need, and let's both
make sure we allow ourselves adequate time to rehearse it (we can
do this even before you finalize the content; because getting the
tools and process right can be done in parallel), so that we will
be able to provide the community a chance to see you work in action. (04)
Best regards. =ppy

>>>
>>> (e) your presentation material* (in powerpoint, pdf, sxi, html, png,

>>> or the one by Chris Welty on OntoClean (see:
>>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_11_18).
>>> They should provide some clue as to the format of our monthly invited
>>> speaker events. However, do feel free to conduct your presentation
>>> any way you feel like (let me know, though, if you expect it to be
>>> quite different, so that I can work on providing the support you
>>> need.) We will be creating a wiki page for your session after we have

>>>
>>> Additionally, we will be recording our presentation sessions and make
