*REMINDER* (02)
The Ontolog invited speaker presentation by Professor Mark Musen
(Stanford) from the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO)
research consortium is coming up tomorrow, i.e. Thursday,
06-December-2007 (starting at 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST / 18:30 UTC). (03)
Come join us in this highly anticipated session during which Professor
Musen will be sharing with the community the vision, the status, the
challenges and some of his insights into what NCBO will entail. You
wouldn't want to miss this session if you are working in the
biomedical ontology domain, either as a domain expert, developer, user
or administrator. (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. Please refer to all
agenda and call-in details on the session page, whose link
appears at the top of this message. (06)
Regards. =ppy
