RE: [regrep-semantic] Thoughts??? on Ontolog Invited Speaker Presentation - Leo Obrst

["Carl Mattocks" <carlmattocks@checkmi.com>]

To have achievable deliverables I believe we must take an incremental
approach to our work.

To that end, I will produce a discussion list for our kick-off meeting .

It will include the proposal that we first gain an understanding of Which
Version ebXMLRegistry supports of What form of semantics as identified in
the (Leo Obrst) Ontology Spectrum .
