There is a Protege ontology presentation for download at:

 >I had a 6 hour conversation on the topic of ontology work and its’ 
importance last night with a Vice-Chief of NORAD’s Maritime Defense 
wing.   It is extremely important when talking to non-technical 
audiences to help them understand the main concepts within the Ontology 
field in terms they can relate to.  A lot of time, abstract thinking is 
not necessarily a strong suite of someone who works in tactical field 
positions.  Nevertheless, with practice comes knowledge and being able 
to quickly judge your audience and adjust accordingly is not confined to 
the realm of presenting ontology work.  The same exists with 
Computational Intelligence, swarm grammars, negation operators and a 
plethora of other topics.    (02)

Adam Pease and John Sowa both have great slide decks that I have used 
parts of on occasion that IMO reduce a lot of FUD.  Is anyone aware of 
an Ontology 101 slide deck linked from this forum?  I have to send them 
some information and am looking for a good deck or paper to to introduce 
the topic gently.    (03)
