Hi All,
    Thank you again for including me in your workshop.  From reading Rod's paper and many of the following comments, it seems that this community is certainly on the right track and shares a similar vision for LSIDs and metadata to that of our development team here in Cambridge, MA.  I encourage anybody to ask questions on the list about LSID or Semantic Web technology in general.  Our team has been elbow deep in the Semantic Web for 3 years and have been working on a wide variety of projects outside of LSID including Storage and replication, annotation, workflow, and  RDF-based user interfaces,

I am tentatively planning to organize my talk as follows:

- Overview of LSID (10-15 minutes)

- Survey of global LSID participation (10-15 minutes)

- Brief overview of IBM Cambridge Semantic Web projects (5 minutes)

I am certainly open to reorganization.  I'm not planning on discussing too many technical and implementation details, but I'd be happy to discuss these throughout the week at the workshop.  

- Ben
