Thank you, Martin.
... I second Duane in the congratulations and applaud your decision to
release the ontology under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0
license.
It would be great if you would accept our invitation to join us at an
Ontolog Forum virtual panel session (in the not-too-distant future) to
walk us through some of the key design choices and insights gained
through the development of this wonderful "GoodRelations ontology"
work.
Duane Nickull and Kurt Conrad, who have been putting up panel sessions
at Ontolog on "Ontology Implementations and Applications" would
probably be in a great position to help us get this organized. (OK ...
Duane, Kurt?)
If this is fine with you, Martin, allow us to get back to you off-line
to hammer out the details.
Congratulations, again! =ppy
