Er... I thought the mailing list was set up earlier,
but I just discovered a disconnect between what
I thought I had put in the subscription list and
what the system was actually consulting when
it sends mail.

Web Ont WG participants:
The webont mailing list (www-webont-wg@w3.org) is now set up, and if
you are getting this mail, you are on it. Dan Connolly, our team
contact, and I are working on getting things started and doing the
various administrative things needed for the working group, the web
page, etc.
While we are starting things up - we suggest that now would be a
good time for WG members to get to know each other. A good example
is [1] which Peter Patel-Schneider sent out before we had the group
set up - you might all want to look at it.
My bio (from my website [2]) reads:
Jim Hendler is a Professor at the University of Maryland and the
Director of Semantic Web and Agent Technology at the Maryland
Information and Network Dynamics Laboratory. He has joint
appointments in the Department of Computer Science, the Institute for
Advanced Computer Studies and the Institute for Systems Research, and
he is also an affiliate of the Electrical Engineering Department. He
has authored close to 150 technical papers in the areas of artificial
intelligence, robotics, agent-based computing and high performance
processing. Hendler was the recipient of a 1995 Fulbright Foundation
Fellowship, is a member of the US Air Force Science Advisory Board,
and is a Fellow of the American Association for Artificial
Intelligence. He is also the former Chief Scientist of the
Information Systems Office at the US Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), and is a prominent player in the World Wide
Web Consortium's Semantic Web Activity.
which covers most of the biggies. Main thing for now is I'll be
chairing this working group, and trying hard to keep us moving into
this exciting new area.
Welcome, and please introduce yourselves
