I can do the 26th, but not the 2nd.    (02)

I guess the most useful thing to do would be a kind of 
survey/introduction to the recent work on ISO-CL and IKL and how it 
relates to OWL and other ontological notations. Right? If you agree, 
try this for a title/abstract:    (04)

First-order logic brought up to date    (06)

Over the past few years a series of initiatives have converged on the 
design of a 'common logic' into which a large variety of alternative 
logical notations and formalisms can be projected, and so can act as 
an expressive foundation for ontology interchange and 
standardization. This talk will briefly survey the design principles 
that have emerged from these discussions and the outline of the 
resulting framework, which is currently going through ISO approval as 
ISO Common Logic, and a more recent extension called IKL, designed 
explicitly for ontology interoperation, which provides a variety of 
powerful naming conventions which enable it to explicitly describe 
relationships between ontological frameworks. We will illustrate the 
talk with examples showing how description logics such as OWL, modal 
and temporal logics, hybrid logics and context logics can be mapped 
into CL and IKL.    (07)

-----    (08)

I can make some slides and have them distributed ready for the talk. 
What format would you prefer to see them in? (Powerpoint, HTML/Slidy, 
anything else?)    (09)

Im not sure if it fits directly into either of the ones you list.    (011)
