[ontology-summit] A Powerpoint communique?

[Michael F Uschold <uschold@xxxxxxxxx>]

It occurred to me that our target audience (business people who can make decisions) may be more likely to see a Powerpoint pitch than wade through 4-6 pages of text.

Which would YOU be more inclined to look at?  

What are your thoughts?

For me, I personally prefer to read a good paper for a topic that interests me. Nevertheless,  it takes less than a minute to scan through a slide deck and get enough of the gist to decide to read more carefully.  If people wrote excellent abstracts, I could do the same for a text document, but you can never trust that they will.
