*REMINDER* (02)
The subject session is coming up this coming Thursday 26-Oct-2006
(starting at 17:30 UTC / 6:30pm BST / 1:30pm EDT / 10:30am PDT). (03)
This will be a very informative and important session, because we will
be able to see, finally, how formal ontologist, semantic web
advocates, data modelers and application developers can have a means
to interoperate semantically with one another through this upcoming
ISO standard called 'common logic (CL).' ... Don't miss this session! (04)
... RSVP (by e-mailing the sender offline) if you are planning to
attend and haven't already responded. We need the information to
prepare enough resources to support everyone. (05)
We look forward to having you at the session. (06)
Regards. =ppy
