Peter, (01)
even tho I'm not an ontologist, ontologies are of
interest to me from the standpoint of organizing and
serving information -- on websites and elsewhere.
Mostly websites! I appreciate the whole idea of
Communities Of Practice-- and roll it out to project
teams and others who have not heard of it. (02)
I'll get the digest! and wish I had time to find out
tomorrow the answer to: "What does Sparkling Wine have
to do with Semantics?" (03)
