Michelle
I am indicating areas of my interest as
well as hopefully also those of more general interest! we can pool ideas and
preferences later.
There is no special meaning of yellow or
green highlights except that these are more relevant to me and or oor-forum / CoP.
Thanks.

Content Committee: Topics for DiscussionThreads
Topic Structure Discussion Fodder
The title for the OntologySummit2008 is "Toward an Open Ontology
Repository." This is the focus under which we are structuring topics.
There will also be discussion threads stemming from the focus of
previous Ontology Summits. These will also need Synopsis Pages and will likely
develop topic areas under the main topic once the discussion has started.
