Re: use case evolution - process question

Ned,

I hope to have some use cases from both the FIPA Ontology Technical
Committee and the European Union Agentcities.RTD project very soon; I am
arranging the information now.

The FIPA Ontology TC has a number of use cases and ontology requirements
outlined that we would like to 'give' to this WG as input. The EU
Agentcities.RTD project has to build an example prototype, an Evening
Organiser, which works from multiple different (on a dynamic and ad-hoc
basis) services, and hence, ontologies.

I hope to send this to the group via email when I have cleared it with the
respective groups.

Best wishes,


Jonathan
