  ******************** Details ************************    (06)


This "Ontology in Knowledge Management and Decision Support 
(OKMDS)" mini-series is a collaboration between NASA and Ontolog, 
and is co-organized by a team of individuals from various related 
communities passionate about creating the opportunity for an 
inter-community, collaborative exploration of the intersection 
between Ontology, Knowledge Management and Decision Support, that 
could eventually lead us toward "Better Decision Making."    (07)

The mini-series will span a period of about six months (Nov-2007 
to April-2008), during which we will be featuring Talks, Panel 
Discussions and Online Discourse on pertinent issues. We expect 
all the talks and panel discussion events to be offered in both 
'real world' (augmented conference calls) and 'virtual world' 
(Second Life) settings.    (08)
