We had, today, Thursday 12-July-2007, a huge crowd at our 10th
episode of the Ontolog mini-series on "Database and Ontology."
Co-chairs, Dr. Susie Stephens (Eli Lilly) and Dr. Matthew West
(Shell International Petroleum Co) presented our invited speaker,
the renowned Artificial Intelligence Research Scientist, Dr. John
Sowa, who presented a talk on "Analogical Reasoning With and
About Databases and Knowledge Bases." (01)
Our deepest appreciations to Dr. Sowa, Dr. West and Dr. Stephens
for bringing us this brilliant session. Thanks are due, also to
Arun Majumdar, John's colleague from VivoMind Intelligence, who
did a lot of the technology implementations described in the
talk, and who also join us today and contributed his insights.
And, as always, thanks to all who could join us today; especially
to those who contribution to the wonderful discussion toward the
last segment of the session. (02)

*REMINDER* (016)
The Ontolog "Database & Ontology" mini-series invited talk by Dr.
John Sowa (VivoMind Intelligence, Inc.), on "Analogical Reasoning
With and About Databases and Knowledge Bases" is coming up this
Thursday 12-July-2007 (starting at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT /
6:30pm BST / 17:30GMT/UTC). (017)
Come join the rest of the Ontolog community at this 10th episode
of the series, to be co-chaired by Dr. Matthew West (Shell
International Petroleum Co) and Dr. Susie Stephens (Eli Lilly),
during which we will be exploring the landscape, issues and
interactions between databases and ontologies through our invited
speaker's presentation. Dr. Sowa is one of the most prolific and
outspoken individuals in the ontology, knowledge representation,
semantics and artificial intelligence communities, and has helped
shaped these fields as we know them today with some of his
brilliantly written work. I'm sure his talk will put a lot of
things about the subject matter in perspective, and inspire new
possibilities for the future. (018)
RSVP by e-mailing the sender off-line (if you aren't already an
Ontolog member, kindly include your name, affiliation and job
title as well) if you are planning to attend and haven't already
responded. (019)
We look forward to having you at the session. Please refer to all
agenda and call-in details on the session page, whose link
appears at the top of this message. (020)
Regards. =ppy
