Agenda Ideas

... (please insert your ideas below)

  • Rex Brooks: I submitted a paper to the First 1st Industrial Results of

Semantic Technologies Workshop co-located with the 6th International Semantic Web Conference, I have been continuing my interests in health informatics, and I suspect the time is approaching when I should bring this topic and emergency response management back up in the Ontolog Forum. The question is when.
