You are correct, Antoinette ... not yet, the "slides" link
usually don't go active until closer to the time of the session.
They'll be posted as soon as they are ready. (01)
Thank you for the prompt. I've just added the remark: "note that
slides were be available by the time of the session" ... hope
that helps clarify things. (see:

Thanks & regards. =ppy

> Broadly ontologies describe what exists. Databases hold facts

> reality more closely.

> On the other hand ontologies are things about which we wish to
> hold information, and databases are powerful ways to store
> information so that it can be retrieved by many people,
> especially when there is structure to the information.

> Different databases will have their own, sometimes implicit,
> ontologies. Identifying and mapping between these ontologies is
> key to data integration.

> Finally, databases, whether for ontology tools or other
> applications, need to have a human interface. The use of ontology
> in design and implementation of the human computer interface can
> transform the utility of a system.

> This mini-series will explore these interactions, how ontologies
