On behalf of Ontolog, I would like to express our appreciations to
Professor Chris Menzel, once again, for joining us this morning, and
giving us the very interesting talk on "Simple Common Logic (SCL)."
Thanks, also, to Adam Pease, for suggesting this, and for making the
invitation, in the first place. Thanks also, to everyone who
participated in the session. We had a great turn out this morning. (01)
The session proceedings, along with Chris' powerpoint slides (and
additional resources/links) are available at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_11_04 (02)
As I was mentioning at the session, we were experimenting with the
freeconference recording service. Looks like that went real well. (I had
prior engagements, and therefore, have not had time to go through the
entire recording, nor have I had time to post-process the digitized
audio file yet.) I have, somehow, listened to a portion of the
recording through "telephone call-in", and it sounded great. (03)
Therefore, for those who really wished they could have joined us, but
were unable to, you're in luck! You, (and those who are curious to find
out how this worked out too) can get the audio playback with a telephone
call-in, and listen to the session recording. Information about the
access is available at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2004_11_04#nid082
I have the mp3 file too, but would need to post-process it a little
before making it available from the ontolog site. So, stay tuned. (04)
Regards. -ppy
