I especially like the following paragraph about the importance of key
technologies being developmented in the SHOE/On-To-Knowledge projects
"The development of ontologies is seen as central in all of these
efforts (they are mentioned as key technologies in all of the
aforementioned Web-pages). Ontologies are meta-data, providing a
controlled vocabulary of terms, each with an explicitly defined and
machine processable semantics. By defining shared and common domain
theories, ontologies help both people and machines to communicate more
effectively. They will therefore have a crucial role in enabling
content-based access, interoperability and communication across the Web.
Examples of the use of ontologies to support content-based access and
interoperability can already
be seen in e.g., the American SHOE project 4 [5], in which HTML is being
extended with ontology based semantic markup codes, and the European
IST-project On-To-Knowledge 5 [4], in which ontologies are being used to
facilitate access to large intranets."

comments made over a year-ago regarding my suggestions made in an e-mail
(given below) about the revelance of SHOE/On-To-Knowledge projects
relative to Jack and Howard's onto-centric approach for designing the
OHS/DKR program.
