Re: [ontolog-forum] ontology applications in intelligent social networks

[Bob Smith <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

		Hello Mike, All:

Ontology Apps in Intelligent SNs sound rich and valuable, especially as we raise the questions around the scope and relevant domain maps.

There were several funded research opportunities identified in my ERS_M investigations dealing with several facets of ISN (Intelligent Social Networks) in context of counter-terrorism, enhanced intelligence services, and organizational-agent modeling which seeks to base the model building terms and problems upon "appropriate" agent ontologies.

Perhaps we might begin listing the agencies and authors we see as anchoring this presentation?

Cheers,

Bob

Subject: [ontolog-forum] ontology applications in intelligent social networks [was - ... Ontology Applications in Emergency Response - Thu 25-Jan-2007]

Great, Mike! "Ontology applications in intelligent social 
networks" sounds exciting. I, for one, wouldn't want to miss it. 
That fits it nicely into Ontolog's charter, as well as the 
Rex/Bob current endeavor on emergency response which they are 
continuing with.

I'm am copying this to [ontolog-forum] so see if the topic 
resonates with others in the community as well.

Please continue to explore possibilities on the forum ... and 
when you guys are about ready, join us at one of the operational 
planning and review sessions (these are the regular weekly calls 
when we aren't featuring an event) and book a date for it.

Thanks & regards. =ppy
