we are all working on. With all of the good work going on I doubt this will be challenging. I think this will be particularly helpful if advertised to outside communities such as AGU ESSI, OGC, W3C, OntologForum, and loads of other venues. </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Having spoken with Megan Carter this morning, she wisely suggested that we discuss this at tomorrows Semantic Technologies Committee meeting. The primary agenda item is therefore to brainstorm
