I would certainly like to learn about it. Thanks for asking. (04)

Great. It's very refreshing to join a group where NL semantics is
taken seriously. For over a decade it has seemed to me that I
am almost the only one still pursuing ontological-semantic-based NL
applications (other people did some descriptive semantics but few
worked on full-blown text analyzers). I think also that -- NL being a
preeminent
means of communication with humans -- some form of an NL interface to
ontological knowledge and its derivatives is essential for practical
success of the ontological enterprise as a whole. (06)
