Greetings. We are writing to invite you to join as a member of a new Special Interest Group of the Association for Information Systems (AIS) on the theme “Ontology-driven Information Systems” (SIG-ODIS) that is taking strong roots in our IS community. The mission of SIG-ODIS is to create an awareness and research thrust in the area of computational ontologies in the IS discipline. Towards this end, SIG-ODIS will: o Provide a forum for collaboration and exchange in the theory and practice of computational ontologies strive to build bridges between the IS discipline and other information-related disciplines, such as computer science, information science, philosophy, linguistics, etc., that pursue research in the broad area of computational ontologies o Aim to develop awareness and foster research about the role and impacts of computational ontologies on the design, development, and management of business information systems o Aim to advance scientific research in specific application areas that can benefit from ontology-based techniques, such as integrative business systems, supply chains, semantic webs, bioinformatics database integration, medical information systems, etc. More details about this SIG are available on the SIG-ODIS website at http://aps.cabit.wpcarey.asu.edu/sigodis/. Further, a business meeting of SIG-ODIS is planned to be held on Friday, August 6 from 6:30 PM at Room Soho (7th floor - Marriott) during the AMCIS 2004 conference in New York and we would like to also invite you to attend this business meeting. More details about AMCIS 2004 can be found at: http://howe.stevens.edu/amcis2004/ We look forward to your joining SIG-ODIS and to meeting with you at the SIG-ODIS business meeting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at sigodis@asu.edu. Best regards. Rajiv Kishore, Ram Ramesh, Raj Sharman, Raghu Santanam, Ajay Vinze, and Hong Zhang SIG-ODIS Executive Board
