Re: Info Service Ontology - 1st draft

Hi,

Here are some news re.the Info Service Ontology:

It has now an own repository [1] + mailing list [2]. Feel free to join 
the developing process or leave comments/suggestions/critics. You are 
welcome ;)

Cheers,

PS: Please also note that there is a new revision of the ontology (v 
0.4) [3,4,5].
