Title: Re: You're in!

Thanks for the consideration, Owen,

I'm forwarding this to our OASIS TC list, as well. This should add some motivation. We will discuss it on Wednesday, and I will have an answer for your about what, and how much value we think we can add to this disussion and presentation by the end of the week.

We have three or more very highly qualified individuals who can weigh in, especially with regard to the work that has been done by the International Council of Museums on its Conceptual Reference Model, (CIDOC CRM) at whose Symposium in Washington D.C. this last March, we made a presentation) harmonizing a very large vocabulary of terms. This vocabulary is described on their webpage as, "The CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) provides definitions and a formal structure for describing the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships used in cultural heritage documentation."

This is in addition to our newest member's interest in building a "Mediation" Subcommittee. This convergenace of interests ought to spark both a contribution to our upcoming presentation to the Collaboration Expedition Workshop Dec. 9, to which we will supply a reference url, and to pending papers and reports on which we are working.

Regards,

Rex
