*REMINDER*    (02)

The Ontolog "Database & Ontology" mini-series invited talk by 
Professor Tatiana Malyuta from City University of New York, on 
"Interaction of Ontology and Database in the Information System" 
is coming up tomorrow, i.e. this Thursday 10-May-2007 (starting 
at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm EDT / 6:30pm BST / 17:30GMT/UTC).    (03)

Come join the rest of the community at this 7th session of th4e 
mini-series, during which we will be exploring the landscape, 
issues and interactions between databases and ontologies that Dr. 
Matthew West (Shell) is putting together for us. Professor 
Malyuta will be sharing with us her insights, as a database 
expert, on what ontologies can bring to the fold. She will also 
be synthesizing inputs contributed by some of the others who have 
presented in this mini-series. If you are working with data 
models and database applications, or just curious on how 
ontologies may be relevant to databases, you probably wouldn't 
want to miss this talk.    (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
