*REMINDER* (02)
The 4th event in the joint NIST-Ontolog-NCOR mini-series on
"Ontology Measurement and Evaluation" is coming up (tomorrow)
this Thursday 22-Feb-2007 (starting at 1:30pm EST / 10:30am PST /
6:30pm BST / 18:30 UTC). (03)
Dr. Gruninger and Mr. Bock's previous talks have been among the
most downloaded presentations from the Ontolog archives. The
topic they will be covering at this time, is: "Evaluating
Reasoning Systems: Ontology Languages." ... Anyone who wants to
get a clear explanation on how ontologies, semantics, knowledge
representation languages and logic interplay in the formal
ontology space, should make sure they come to this event. (04)
RSVP by e-mailing the sender (<peter.yim@xxxxxxxx>) off-line if
you are planning to attend and haven't already responded. (If you
aren't already an Ontolog member, kindly include your name,
affiliation and job title as well in your response.) (05)
We look forward to having you at the session. (06)
Regards. =ppy
