*REMINDER* (02)
The Ontolog "Database & Ontology" mini-series invited talk by Mr.
Martin O'Connor from Stanford Medical Informatics, on "using OWL
and SWRL to query relational databases" is coming up this
Thursday 8-Feb-2007 (starting at 18:30 UTC / 6:30pm BST / 1:30pm
EST / 10:30am PST). (03)
Come find out how one can use the Web Ontology Language (OWL) and
the Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) to query data that is
stored in relational databases! (04)
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. (05)
We look forward to having you at the session. (06)
Regards. =ppy

> For the foreseeable future most data will continue to be stored
