Hi Rex, (01)
I just signed up to to the ontology summit and it looks Like I have been added
to th emailing list. (02)
This is great but I now get emails where you talk about a document I don't have
access to or don't know where to get. (03)
Could you point me to where I could get this document or I am not supposed to
receive these emails? (04)
Thank you very much, (05)
Sincerely, (06)
Frederic (07)
