Hi Carol, (01)
Welcome to Ontolog! (02)
Thank you very much for the post and, of course, to Apelon for opening
up this work. (03)
As you're probably aware, some of us having been looking forward to
the information (ref: earlier conversation thread after Kathy Lesh
shared this good news with us -
http://ontolog.cim3.net/forum/ontolog-forum/2007-05/msg00120.html ) (04)
Best regards. =ppy (05)
