We had a great session with our invited speaker Dr. York Sure
(from the Institute AIFB of the University of Karlsruhe in
Germany) on August 17, 2006. Dr. Sure presented his talk on:
"What does Sparkling Wine have to do with Semantics?" and gave us
a perspective on the exciting work of his Institute and that of
some other centers of excellence in Germany and the European
Union at large, in the realm of semantic and knowledge
engineering technologies. (01)
Our appreciations go out to Dr. York for sharing his knowledge
and insight with us. Thanks also to Dr. Alexander Löser and Dr.
E. Michael Maximilien of IBM Almaden Research Center for
introducing Dr. Sure to our community. And, as always, thank you
to all the participants for joining us and for contributing to
the rich discussion we had, along with the presentation. (02)
Proceedings of the session are captured at our wiki page, at:

... Dr. Sure's contribution today adds yet another key piece to
the collective intelligence and body of knowledge that our
community is building. Thanks again, York. (04)

P.S. Be Aware that: (06)
(i) Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2006 - note that our regular active
membership conference call for next week has been switched to
Tuesday (rather than the usual Thursday), same time, though. The
key agenda item for this call is to plan out a short series of
events (theme, program), possibly on "Test & Evaluation of
Ontology and Tools" and/or some other theme of mutual interest.
This next series envisioned as a NIST-Ontolog-NCOR collaboration.
Join us at the call, especially if you care about, or want to
influence, the outcome. Please refer to details, closer to the
time, at the session wiki page at: ConferenceCall_2006_08_22 ...
Kindly make a note of the schedule change! (07)
(ii) Thursday, Aug. 31, 2006 - our weekly conference call will be
back on Thursday. The key agenda item for this call will be to
tie down the plans for a mini-series on "Database and
Ontologies." Again, do attend if you care about, or want to
influence, the outcome. Please refer to details, closer to the
time, at the session wiki page at: ConferenceCall_2006_08_31 (08)
(iii) Thursday, September 14, 2006 - Professor Alan Rector, from
the University of Manchester (United Kingdom) will be presenting
to the community his talk entitled: "Terminologies and
Ontologies: What are they for? What would it mean to QA an
ontology?" ... Please refer to details at the session wiki page,
