Impressive at least.  I am glad that these old recordings were actually refernced again.  I am listening to them (the first presentation by Peter and Adam) on the Virtual Assistant.  It is not of *high* interest however it is historical and related to some unrelated work that I have been of course working on for the past 5 years for my company MI2.

/unrelated PS: How can I change my ontolog identity to a new email address?  Or can I add an alias email address on to this identity for participating without new registration?  Or is a seperate new registration required.  In either case; Could someone reply privately to help me add mi2@xxxxxxx as my identity?  :)

This surprises me as well.  Seriously?  Wow.  I mean I recall a few more main stream people (in my reserved opinion) were kind of being invited to speak or were speaking at Davos when it was last.

That's not a bad thing, but uuhm, is kind of a bad thing.

co-opted, for 20 years already, by information scientist to mean
something quite specific.

This is great, nonetheless!
