Worthwhile indeed!  Paola, Deborah, and anyone else passionate enough
to step up to the task, please form a project/team around it, and make
it happen.    (03)

Among the OntologySummit2007 follow-up initiatives [1], Ken Baclawsaki
is championing a similar exercise for artifacts collected from the
OntologySummit2007_Survey [2]    (04)

 ... some coordination between this potential task team and his, and,
as previously mentioned, to the OntologTaxoThesaurus project work [3],
would probably be very useful.    (05)

Please pick (a) a project title, (b) writeup a draft charter (or
mission statement, or list of objectives and goals), (c) pick a
"launch" meeting date/time and call for others to sign up ... ...
guess that should get things going (if the need and passion are
there).    (06)

I shall look forward to this project going live!    (07)

Thanks & regards.  =ppy    (08)
