Thanks for bringing this up, Per (and to Peter for pointing us to the
NIST study.) (01)
This fits well, also, to our immediate need to build a "Business Case"
of using ontologies and ontological engineering approaches (as requested
by Kurt Conrad on our ConferenceCall_2004_10_14). One again, let's make
an attempt to collect inputs and assemble all the arguments in one place. (02)
All: Try contributing one bullet point NOW, if you can (more is ok too,
of course!) -- Input to "Business Case" or "ROI" are both welcomed. (03)
Posting to this discussion thread and/or to the wiki at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?CctRepresentation/CctRep_Recommendation#nid011
will really be appreciated. (04)
Sincerely. -ppy
