Thank you, Bob. ... Hello Paola! (01)
I am just in the process of putting together the session page and the
announcement of the upcoming "Ontology Applications in Emergency
Response Panel Discussion" that Rex Brooks and Bob Smith have been
working on. The date of the event is now confirmed. It's coming in a
couple of weeks - Thu 25-Jan-2007 to be exact. (If you can't wait for
the announcement) You can get a glimpse on what Rex and Bob has in
store for us at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?EmergencyResponseOntologyApplication/Prep
... make sure you respond and register to join us when you receive the
'invitation' to the event. We can continue your discussion in real
time during that session, Paola. (02)
Cheers. =ppy (03)
P.S. Paola, kindly refer to the "Membership" section at our
WikiHomePage (http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?WikiHomePage#nid1J)
and return your member survey as well as start your namesake page at
the Ontolog-wiki too. Welcome! =ppy
