Subject: Roundtable: Resolving semantic differences

  The Montague Institute will hold a teleconference roundtable discussion on
November 28, 2007 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm Eastern time.

David Huynh of MIT will demonstrate Potluck, an open source tool that has an
innovative user interface for reconciling semantic differences. With
Potluck, an end user can resolve differences between two datasets using the
Firefox Web browser. Potluck is noteworthy as a learning tool to illustrate
the practical issues in resolving data from multiple sources and as an
example of an innovative user interface for resolving semantic differences.

After David's presentation and demo, Montague Institute founder Jean Graef
will lead participants in a discussion of the use of Potluck and similar
tools in large organizations.

A basic primer, "Ontologies and the Semantic Web," is also being offered
November 6. See http://www.montague.com/primer5.htm

To change something, build a new model that makes the
existing model obsolete."
