Dear Ontolog Participant, (01)
First, let me (individually) and us (collectively) thank all of you
for joining the reconstituted Ontolog discussion group. If the
timing of this posting is right, it will be the first message you
receive through the list. (02)
I am quite encouraged by the volume of the responses. We sent the
invitation out to 41 people; so far, 19 of that group have
joined. Another 19 have also joined, giving us a total of 16 active
participants and 25 observers. We expect a few more to trickle in
over the next week as word-of-mouth continues and the UBL committee
members get back from their meeting in Massachusetts. (03)
In order to get the conversation started, please: (04)
1) Reply to this message to help us verify that the new
infrastructure is working correctly (05)
2) Include in your reply a short introductory statement: (06)
- Provide a brief description of your background
(if you have a bio/resume/cv available online, kindly
provide us with a link to it.) (07)
- Describe the personal goals and objectives that are
driving your participation in Ontolog (08)
- List your areas of interest (09)
- List any ideas that you have for discussion topics (010)

While the conversation of late has been rather light, Leo posted a
very informative comparison of DAML-S and BPEL4WS that came out of
Stanford's Knowledge System Laboratory. It can also be accessed
