I thought it opened a nice window into some of advanced applications and research interests that Microsoft can uniquely deliver on. Terrific interview, Louis.

What a great role for GSA - renewing the "Services" in your name in a new digital meaning :-) Rick – this is excellent stuff, and will be helpful for Microsoft and others, particulalrly as you know the govt agencies which want to move forward on semantic value but don’t know how.

As Microsoft's Advanced Technology in Government team continues to explore tooling for domain specific languages these ontologies should become of more interest to you. Especially as an example of information sharing in a more formal language than XML or UML. The ontologies currently available are are from version 1 from back in 2004 and you can find them here ... http://www.osera.gov/owl/2004/11/fea/FEA.owl Swoop and Pellet are the reference implementation. We're making a new version, circa 2008 available in the next few months and we expect plenty of interest in the semantic web and model driven architecture communities. I had previously discussed this with Steve Cook of the Visual Studio team and thought it good to give you a heads up in your new position. And just as a reminder this work is available to all, not just Microsoft. We're a small team and we try to get the word out the best we can.
