Thanks, Kurt. (01)
Just wanted to alert people who are interested in this workshop
theme (the layers, limits and lacunas of natural, semi-formal,
and formal ontologies) on a very relevant recent discussion
thread that is ongoing at the [ontac-forum] (under the subject
"Problems of ontology"). (02)
... see starting message of that thread at:
http://colab.cim3.net/forum/ontac-forum/2006-05/msg00004.html (03)
Maybe some of the folks who are engaged in that conversation
would like to present their arguments at our workshop too! (04)
Regards. =ppy
