Thanks Peter for the heads-up/reminder.    (01)

Max: is podcasting ontolog forum discussions sufficiently practical & 
reasonable
in terms of resource demands to do on a systematic basis?    (02)

If yes, then this raises a number of interesting possibilities that 
could help us better "digest our own ontology food"
with related technology support (e.g., Swoop's annotation support & 
Annotea server, publicly available ontolgies
w/ sufficiently axiomatized content adequate for reasoning analysis -- 
e.g., SUMO, DOLCE, ...)    (03)

For example, Nicola Guarino used the famous "red rose" example in his 
presentation of DOLCE
(see http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2006_02_02)    (04)

As Nicola emphasized at the end of his talk, small examples are really 
important to convey
and discuss important ideas like that of being able to precisely capture 
the subtle differences
on the various meanings of "red" in "red rose".    (05)

Wouldn't it be great then to be able to annotate the podcast w/ a 
pointer to an example ontology built (for example)
using Swoop from the public URL of DOLCE in a way that includes "back" 
annotation links to the podcast
to establish a 3-way link among    (06)

(1) a subset of the example ontology that illustrates one of the 
meanings of "red"
(2) a segment of the presentation where Nicola explains that particular 
meaning
(3) the description of that meaning in DOLCE    (07)

Annotations need to be "first-class" things that can themselves be 
annotated.
In this case, the above annotation is an example of the distinction
between descriptions (3) and situations (1) in DOLCE.    (08)

The mindswappers have shown that doing annotations and referencing to 
subsets of ontologies is technically doable.
One relevant question is whether the tools/mechanisms/infrastructure to 
do it could be deployed as an on-going service for this forum.    (09)
