>> Dear Ontolog Members,
>>
>> Further to our earlier announcement, please be reminded that
>> Professor Christopher Menzel (from Texas A&M University) will be
>> giving a talk entitled: "*SCL: A Logic Standard for Semantic
>> Integration*" during our upcoming regular conference call session.
>>
>>
>> *Conference call-in details: *
>>
>> Date: Thursday, Nov. 4, 2004
>> Start Time: 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT (World Time:
>>
>http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=11&day=4&year=2004&hour=10&min=30&sec=0&p1=224)
>
>>
>> Session Duration: 1.5 ~ 2 Hours
>> Dial-in Number: 1-702-851-3330 (Las Vegas, Nevada)
>> Participant Access Code: "0686564#"
>>
>>
>> *SCL* -- *Simple Common Logic* -- is an attempt to renew the idea of
>> an overarching framework to facilitate integration at one higher
>> level of abstraction: by specifying, in as general a way as possible,
>> a flexible abstract standard that many different representation
>> languages can satisfy. By publishing an abstract specification of
>> one's language relative to the SCL standard, one thereby makes the
>> representational character and expressive power of the language
>> explicit, and information expressed in the language comprehensible to
>> users of other conformant representation languages.
>>
>> In this (very informal!) presentation Chris will discuss SCL and also
>> use it as a springboard for discussion of a number of related topics,
>> including current popular KR frameworks -- notably frameworks arising
>> out of work on the Semantic Web like RDF -- and the expressive
>> differences between them.
>>
>>
>> *About the Speaker: *
>>
>> Professor Menzel is an Associate Professor at the Philosophy
>> Department of Texas A&M University (College Station, TX 77840, USA)
>> He received his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of Notre Dame
>> where he wrote a dissertation on the philosophy of mathematics. He
>> was then a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University at the Center
>> for the Study of Language and Information (http://csli.stanford.edu),
>> where he first became interested in knowledge representation. He has
>> been a visiting research scientist at the Commonwealth Scientific and
>> Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) in Melbourne
>> (http://www.csiro.au) and am currently visiting the Institute for
>> Formal Ontology in Medical Information Science (IFOMIS) at the
>> University of Saarland in Saarbrücken, Germany (http://ifomis.org).
>> Professor Menzel's research interests reflect my initial background
>> in "pure" metaphysics, formal ontology, and logic and his subsequent
>> introduction to "applied" philosophy in the form of knowledge
>> representation.
>>
