[topicmapmail] Virtual Observatory Semantics

[Bernard Vatant]

Following my recent post on Virtual Observatory and Topic Maps,
Steve P. has attracted my attention on:

http://archives.us-vo.org/semantics/

But I think it's relevant to all TM community.

>From the welcome message:

"Following a meeting last week of the IVOA (International Virtual 
Observatories Alliance), it was decided to set up a working group on how 
Virtual Observatories can use "knowledge engineering", how they can become 
part of the "semantic web". Subjects include semantics (and what that 
means), ontologies (and what that means), XML representations of knowledge, 
descriptive logic and DAML/OIL, Topic Maps, RDF, resource registries. (What 
else?)"

This forum is only one week old, but lively and smart.
Of course I could not resist to jump in :))
