Thank you, Rex, for the message, and of course, for joining us
yesterday at Dr. Guarino's talk. (01)
While I'll defer to to Dr. Guarino to answer your specific
questions, I am happy to let you know that both Dr. Guarino and
Gangemi are expected to be on our Upper Ontology Summit Panel
(ref:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit#nidIOH)
coming up on March 15, 2006 (all afternoon EST.) (02)
... join us then. (03)
Regards. =ppy

>>>> *Nicola Guarino* (1954) is a senior research scientist at the

>>>> experiment in Padova. He then moved to the area of knowledge
>>>> representation, joining the CNR Institute of Systems Theory and
>>>> Biomedical Engineering (LADSEB-CNR) to work initially on medical
>>>> expert systems. He moved to ISTC-CNR in 2003. He has been working on

>>>> for more than twenty years, playing a leading role in developing a
>>>> strongly interdisciplinary approach that combines together Computer
>>>> Science, Philosophy, and Linguistics, and relies on Logic as a
>>>> unifying paradigm. (JM3)

>>>> He is editor-in-chief (with Dr. Mark Musen) of the Journal of
