We had, on Thursday 26-Jun-2008, another great panel session, featured
as a panel discussion on "Rules in Semantic Web Applications." This
was part-2 of a two part sequel on Semantic Web Rules (which started
with Dr. Chris Welty's talk on the W3C-RIF Standard on 2008.06.12.) On
this panel were Dr. Leo Obrst (MITRE, Ontolog, and chair of this
session), Dr. Jos de Bruijn (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)
and Mr. Martin O'Connor (Stanford-BMIR.) (01)
A huge "Thank You" should go to all presenters - Dr. de Bruijn, Mr.
O'Connor and Dr. Obrst - for their meticulously prepared briefings and
for sharing their work and insight with us. And as always, our
appreciations go out to all who joined us at the event; especially for
their contributions to the rich discussion during the last segment of
the session. (02)
Full proceedings - including agenda, abstracts, slides, bibliography,
audio recording and the transcript of the live chat session - have
all captured to the session page on the OntologWiki at:
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_06_26 (03)
In particular, downloadable mp3 file of the audio recording of the
session, as well as the podcast of it, is now available -
see: http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2008_06_26#nid1JUW (04)
This session from Dr. Leo Obrst, Dr. Jos de Bruijn & Mr. Martin
O'Connor, and, of course, Dr. Christopher Welty, who started this
"Rules and Semantic Web" sequel off, as well as contributions from all
their colleagues who made possible the work that they presented, are
adding a few more key piece to the Ontolog body that this community is
collectively building. Thank you again, everyone! (05)
Best regards. =ppy (06)

*REMINDER* (013)
The long awaited Ontolog panel discussion on "Rules in Semantic Web
Applications" is finally coming up tomorrow - Thursday, 26-Jun-2008
(starting at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT / 7:30pm CEST / 17:30 UTC.) Dr.
Leo Obrst (MITRE; Ontolog) will chair the session, along with expert
panelists Dr. Jos de Bruijn (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)
and Mr. Martin O'Connor (Stanford-BMIR). (014)
This is part 2 of a two-part sequel on Rules and the Semantic Web. Dr.
Chris Welty (IBM) started the sequel off with a premier presentation
providing an overview of the work of the W3C RIF Working group and
RIF-BLD (ref. ConferenceCall_2008_06_12). In this session, our
panelists will brief us, respectively, on RIF in relation to RDF &
OWL; SWRL and its application; and, a sample application of ontologies
and rules in a reasoning application. You won't want to miss this
session if you are already or are looking into developing semantic
applications. (015)
*RSVP* by e-mailing the sender <peter.yim@xxxxxxxx> off-line (if you
aren't already on the [ontolog-invitation] list, kindly include your
name, affiliation and job title as well) if you are planning to attend
and haven't already responded. (016)
We look forward to having you at the session. Please refer to the
agenda and call-in details on the session page, whose link appears at
