[Person-ontology] Let's get started

[ajitorsarah at bellsouth.net]

To All Participants;

Hello, My name is Ajit Kapoor and I am most recently retired from Lockheed Martin as Director and Chief architect for the Corporate CIO/CTO Office. I am the Principal at The Kapoor Group which is a advisory organization aimed at developing IT that is responsive to business needs. My brief biography is attached for those interested. I am very interested in the semantic aspects of the information access as it relates to our fulfilling the promise of SOA in the broadest sense-Autonomous systems will be needed to be built on the principles of agile infrastructure which have access to the real time information. I look forward to participating in this forum and learn from the group knowledge base.
