In a a nut-shell - it was recognized by the conference attendees that (RDF & OWL) semantic technology is now moving in to the adoption phase

John,Peter, et al :

I will be presenting a poster on our 'Ontology for IT Service Management' project.
I will share whatever I can of the 'Semantic Interoperability for E-Government Conference' proceedings.

Hello Peter,

Will try to get the word out sooner. The Wikki referenced below will be updated at the conference to include the latest presentations.

Cheers,

Thanks for this but one remark (rant coming....)
 
OASIS is a global organisation: if there is stuff that is likely to be of interest for an audience beyond the US of A - as is the case with this conference - can you all please give a little more notice? There is no way I could get any travel order organised at such notice, however interested I am...
 
I'm sorry John that you catch this flak, but it's a general comment to the whole list.
 
I"d make one practical and hopefully helpful suggestion: whoever flags up a conference or event on the list should feel morally obliged to report back to the list after the event, at least with pointers to where documents and info might be found, if not with a more personal "report" on the activity.
 
All the best,
 
Peter
