Dear Professor Dogac,    (01)

Thank you for the slides. I'll be posting them to the wiki 
session page closer to the time of your talk (I hope to get the 
page up about a month before, and the slides posted a few days 
prior to the event).    (02)

Wonderful work!    (03)

Thanks & regards.  =ppy

>> minutes.  This will be over a phone conference, augmented by online

>>
>> The [ontolog] community engages in the learning, discourse and

>> and application of ontological engineering approaches and semantic 
>> technologies (see our charter at: 
>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nidB ), and is 
>> facilitating their move into the mainstream standards. Your sharing 
>> with us the experience and insight based on ontology-related work of 
>> yours, and affording us the chance to have an open dialog with you 
>> along those lines will be most appreciated.
>>
>> I shall look forward to receiving the following from you, at your

>>
>> (a) the title of your talk, and
>>
>> (b) an abstract of your talk (anywhere from a few sentences to a 
>> couple of paragraphs will do).
>>
>> (c) a recent picture of yours (about 150x150 pixels, in png, jpg or 
>> gif format),
>>
>> (d) 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 the material (if something appropriate is already

>> Ontolog wiki too (at: 
>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?AsumanDogac -- your may need 
>> to do a "Create Account" or "Login" for the user "AsumanDogac" before 
>> editing on the wiki (access is at the upper right of wiki page)).
>>
>> Once I get the above, I will start circulating the information among 
>> the community (we should be doing that at least one month before the 
>> event), so that people could mark their calendars and plan to attend.
>>
>> Closer to the time (say, by Jan. 30, 2006, although this is not a hard 
>> deadline), please send me:
>>
>> (e) your presentation material* (in powerpoint, pdf, sxi, html, png, 
>> jpg or some common electronic format) so that I can post it online for 
>> access during the session. (Optionally, you may choose  to have that 
>> posted a week or so in advance of your talk, or the morning of your 
>> session.)
>>
>> During the talk, you will be in control of a shared-screen server (a 
>> VNC server) that will allow you to run your presentation slides, a web 
>> browser or even other applications (if you do need to run other 
>> applications, please provide me with more details because we may need 
>> some prior coordination to make it happen). The display screen from 
>> the VNC server will be shared by most of the virtual attendees during 
>> the event.
>>
>> (f) After I receive your presentation material, we will schedule a 
>> phone session (or, in this case, probably a skype session) so that I 
>> can walk you through the presentation controls and some of the 
>> relevant nuances that our virtual speaker(s) need to be aware of. We 
>> should do this while you are at the venue where you plan to be 
>> presenting from (e.g. your office, your home, ... etc. because each 
>> may present different connectivity issues we would need to tackle). 
>> You are also invited to take a look at the hints we have for sessions 
>> like this at: 
>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?VirtualSpeakerSessionTips
>>
>> For your reference, please feel free to check out the wiki pages of

>> http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_02_12), 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 received 
>> the above ((a) thru (d) input from you), at which point, you are 
>> encouraged to post additional relevant resources (papers, links, 
>> references, ... etc.) to support your presentation.
>>
>> Additionally, we will be recording our presentation sessions and make
