Dear Martin, (01)
Thank you for your offer to give a talk to the ontolog forum as
detailed below. (02)
To me this looks very interesting and I would tentatively like to
accept your offer to do it on February 8th, subject to comment
by other members of ontolog. (03)
Regards (04)

> For the foreseeable future most data will continue to be stored in
