I was presenting today in the departmental seminar. I was rather anxious to get it over and done with. So I “persuaded” Mos to allow me to go first. I think I didn’t do that badly except that I was fast and at times unable to articulate myself 🙁 . Consequently, I failed to explain the architecure of the service. Further, I didn’t really provide enough details on the types of questions that can be answered by the ontology underconstructions. That is, I failed to communicate what will constitute the competency questions of the ontology, thus the type of queries it would handle.

On the positive side I can take today’s seminar as a dress rehearsal for SATNAC. The question then that remains is whether with unfamiliar faces I would be able to slow down a bit and articulate myself better. That remains to be seen but I am an optimist 🙂
