Ontology: the sleeping beast awakens!

• Muhammad Javed of Cornell has written a VIVO Ontology Explorer.  Give it a try!.  Javed's tool shows which VIVO ontology classes and properties come from which underlying ontology used by VIVO. 
• The Ontology Improvement Task Force is up and running!  The task force will develop a domain definition for the VIVO ontology, as well as propose processes for making ontological changes.  Some changes are minor and can be done without effecting running VIVO systems.  First meeting wa, March 13 at 11 AM 
• Protege Training.  Stanford University will be hosting a Protege short course regarding Protege tool for ontology development and management, March 29-31 on the Stanford campus in Palo Alto.  Mike Conlon will be attending – hope to see you there.
