The second of the two panel discussion sessions on "Open Ontology
Repository: Rationale, Expectations & Requirements" is coming up
tomorrow - Thursday, 03-April-2008 (starting at 10:30am PDT / 1:30pm
EDT / 7:30pm CEST / 17:30 UTC).

This will, again, be a 2.5-Hour session. We expect this series of
panel sessions to provide significant input towards how a global Open
Ontology Repository being contemplated, is going to shape up.
Therefore, do join us, if you are or plan to be a developer, custodian
or user of open ontologies!    (04)

 ******************** Details ************************    (016)

 Following our highly successful panel discussion on Thu 28-Feb-2008,
 where we explored the "Ontology Registry and Repository Technology &
 Infrastructure Landscape," we are pleased to be able to bring
 together, again, some of the world's top ontological content
 custodians and researchers, to feature the following panel discussion
 sessions. You are cordially invited to join us at these three (3)
 upcoming (virtual) panel sessions.    (017)

 Two parallel initaives are ongoing in the community, revolving around
 the theme of "Open Ontology Repository". On the one hand, a working
 group under the auspices of the Open Ontology Repository (OOR)
 Initiative, and on the other, the discourse (and essentially a
 discussion group that will culminate in a two-day workshop at NIST on
 April 28~29, 2008) conducted as the main focus for Ontology Summit
 2008. It is at the intersection of these two initiatives that this
 panel discussion session is being held.    (018)

 Besides hearing from the panelists, we are setting aside ample time
 (~45 minutes) after their briefings, for some good Q&A and discussions
 among all who will be participating in this sessions.    (019)

 Please also refer to details at the respective project homepages of
 the two initiatives at:
