The new project is to update the RoadMap and to produce a follow-on piece for datawarehouse on the separation of syntax from semantics.

 

Participation in this new work will involve peer reviewed papers in support of the proposition given at:

A formal invitation to a conference in Taos New Mexico will be send out in a few days.  The conference will be primarily virtual so that members of the international community can participate.  Between 5 - 20 individuals will be invited to Taos New Mexico USA in March 2006. 

 

We have the first elements of a research Institute, The Taos Institute, set up at the Indian Hills Inn - where I have my current offices and a studio.  Funding is from private donations and from an e-commerce system (called VirtualTaos). I hope that this commerical base does not offend anyone, but we simply cannot depend on government grants:

At least not up until now.  Let us all hope that the frustration we have found with ontology tools and web service tools will be replaced by clarity and purpose.
