Subject: seed ontologies
I share Tom's enthusiasm for ontologies, test examples, and evaluation
mechanisms. As part of working groups on
knowledge sharing and reuse, problem-solving tasks and mechanisms, and the
Sisyphus project we will be working with Tom and anyone else who is
interested to pull together relevant work in the knowledge acquisition
community.

We strongly support the idea of using ontolingua as a mechanism to
make this sharing possible, and would be interested in talking to
anyone else who is working along similar lines.
