The audio recording on today's talk by Chris Welty is available now. (01)
Within the next 10 days, one can call into the number provided for a
telephone playback of the entire session.
Or, alternatively, a digitized audio file (in mp3 format) is also
available from our site. (02)
It will be best that one listens to the session while having the
powerpoint presentation (also available at our site) opened in front of
you. You'll be prompted to advance slides by the speaker. (03)
Please refer to details at:

> Center in New York. Previously, he taught Computer Science at Vassar
> College, taught at and received his Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnice
> Institute, and accumulated over 14 years of teaching experience before
> moving to industrial research. Chris' principal area of research is
> Knowledge Representation, specifically ontologies and the semantic
> web, and he spends most of his time applying this technology to
> Information Retrieval and, in the past, Software Engineering. Dr.
> Welty serves on the steering committee of the Formal Ontology in
> Information Systems Conferences, as program chair of the Knowledge
> Representation Conference , on the advisory board of IJCAI-05 on the
> editorial boards of AI Magazine and The Journal of Web Semantics, was
> an editor in the W3C Web Ontology Working Group. Chris Welty's work on
> ontologies and ontology methodology has appeared in CACM, and numerous
> other publications.
>
> Dr. Welty also was the first ACM SIGART Information Director, and was
> responsible for establishing the SIGART Electronic Information
> Service. He was the editor in chief of the former ACM SIGART
> intelligence Magazine, from its initial planning in 1996 through to
> its ultimate demise in 2001, and has been an active ACM member since
> 1990.
