Re: SUO WG rechartered for general activities,
James,
Agree that the SUO activities need to be renewed since other similar fora,
Ontolog and SW forum, look downgraded having little to do with ontology and
semantics.
The name must be the same, but the website really needs upgrade and the new
organizers should be elected. Nothing personal, but i wonder why a US Army
man coordinates such a peaceful activity. Besides, like with a political
compaign, the cause of SUO is to be supported with a financial contribution
from the well-to-do members of the listing.
