I like this presentation with the following observation that the emphasis here is more on the technology aspects of semantics and ontologies for practitioners, rather than on understanding the applications, benefits, costs, risks, and returns for enterprises, communities, and individuals.

I put togehter a presentation last fall called "Getting Started with
Semantics".

http://rmc-ca.academia.edu/BradleyShoebottom/Papers/358330/Getting_Started_w
ith_Semantics_in_the_Enterprise

This was meant for a Executive Level audience without the need to go into
the details of how ontologies are contructed or the architecture of the
semantic web applications.

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.

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.

Duane
