On Thursday 25-October-2007, Ms. Jeanne Holm and Mr. Charles
White from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California
Institute of Technology, gave their talk on: "Sharing Knowledge
in Second Life" in preparation for the NASA-Ontolog "Ontology in
Knowledge Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series,
as the pre-OKMDS-series tutorial on getting people ready on the
Second Life virtual world. (01)
An overview and the strategic significance of virtual worlds were
wonderfully covered in the talk. Our presenters actually
delivered their talk both in an augmented conference call setting
(which most of our community members are quite familiar) as well
as at their virtual world auditorium in Second Life (which most
of our members weren't quite familiar.) Our more than 40
participants at the session were given a demonstration, and
provided with details on how to get set up for the latter. This
dual delivery mode (in both 'real world' and 'virtual world'
settings) is actually going to be how the upcoming OKMDS
mini-series seminars and panel discussion events are going to be
presented. The talk was ensured by a very lively discussion. (02)
Again, thank you, Jeanne and Charley, for giving the session, and
for initiating some of us (myself included) to the excitement of
virtual worlds. And, as always, our appreciations go out to all
who joined us at the event; especially for their contributions to
the rich discussion we had during the last segment of the session. (03)
Proceedings of the session are captured on our wiki page, at:

In particular, full audio recording of the session, as well as
the podcast of it, are now available - see:

As mentioned, the 'Launch Event' for the "Ontology in Knowledge
Management and Decision Support (OKMDS)" mini-series is coming up
on Thursday 8-Nov-2007 (see details on the announcement below).
Mark your calendars, and register you attendance now, if you
haven't already. (06)
Best regards. =ppy

We take pleasure in announcing the first two sessions: (09)
--Thu 25 Oct 2007* - Ms. Jeanne Holm & Mr. Charles White from
NASA/JPL giving a pre-series Tutorial on Virtual Worlds - Getting
Ready for "Second Life" (010)

******************** Details ************************ (013)
This "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision Support
(OKMDS)" mini-series is a collaboration between NASA and Ontolog,
and is co-organized by a team of individuals from various related
communities passionate about creating the opportunity for an
inter-community, collaborative exploration of the intersection
between Ontology, Knowledge Management and Decision Support, that
could eventually lead us toward "Better Decision Making." (014)
The mini-series will span a period of about six months (Nov-2007
to April-2008), during which we will be featuring Talks, Panel
Discussions and Online Discourse on pertinent issues. We expect
all the talks and panel discussion events to be offered in both
'real world' (augmented conference calls) and 'virtual world'
(Second Life) settings. (015)
Please refer to details about this mini-series on the OKMDS
project homepage, at: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OKMDS (016)

*Thu 25 Oct 2007* - Ms. Jeanne Holm and Mr. Charles White from
NASA/JPL will be giving a tutorial to prepare all those who are
interested to participate in this mini-series through "Second
Life", or simply just to explore what the 'virtual world setting
has to offer - Please refer to details at:
