Tom, All,

thanks for you email. I believe there is a lot of topics we can
discuss around the topic of semantics in digital libraries.
There are two mailing lists I would like to invite everyone to
subscribe to:

marcon...@lists.sf.net [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/
listinfo/marcont-users]
jeromed...@list.sf.net [https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/
listinfo/jeromedl-users]

The first list is were we could discuss all ontology, mapping, and
such, topics; while the second (jeromedl) is where we could discuss
our modeling put in the practice.

I would also (or especially) like to invite everyone to continue this
discussion (all topics) at se...@googlegroups.com [http://
groups.google.com/group/semdl]

We work on a new version of MarcOnt ontology - and I hope we will
send around a draft next week; your input/comments will be more than
welcome.

Best,

Sebastian
