Dear Colleagues,
I had previously
sent out the invitation below for endorsements to our Summit communiqué, but
had not specifically brought this up on the summit or summit-org lists. So here
is a last-minute reminder, if you’d like to be included on the endorsement
list. Many of you have already responded, in which case please just delete this
message.
Best regards,
Steven R. Ray

Subject: Invitation to endorse the Ontology Summit 2009 Communiqué - One
week only.
Dear Colleagues,
The Ontology Summit 2009, “Toward Ontology-based Standards,” was held this week
at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), with
representation from major standards development organizations, industry,
government, and academia. As is traditional at these summits, a summit
resolution and endorsement statement was released in the form of a communiqué,
and can be reviewed at http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?OntologySummit2009_Communique.
This email is to invite you, as an interested practitioner, to be listed as an
endorser of the communiqué, which we hope will accelerate the incorporation of
ontology practices in current and future standards, yielding the benefits
identified in the communiqué. If you would like to be associated with this
movement, please send an email to Peter Yim (peter.yim@xxxxxxxx)
and me (steve@xxxxxxxxxxx), and we will
ensure your name is listed as an endorser, or you can simply click here.
Note that the site carries a disclaimer
that your endorsement is made as an individual and not as a representative of
your organization.
We will be closing this invitation at the end of Friday, April 17th,
so please respond soon.
Best regards, and thanks for your support.
Steven R. Ray
Chair, Ontology Summit 2009
