Quite a bit different than the demo you are working on apparently, but we
just finished a demo for our Kyield suite a few weeks ago and it was quite
an experience. It involves semantic technology, but isn't technical- rather
showing proposed functionality for decision makers primarily- boards, CIOs,
larger VC firms. The subject org was a global semiconductor company due to
personal relationships with key execs, although it's similar for any R&D org
so matters little. Target audience was multiple, which of course detracts
some for each.
Had good help from our advisory team representing thought leaders in their
fields from computer science, knowledge management, tech writing, and life
sciences. By the time it was completed, it was in some respects outdated,
but so it goes. Wasn't quite what we intended- communications/language
issues with developer. More challenging than it appears.
Flash, with narration. Wound up being a bit over 15 minutes, 10 would have
been better although I am sometimes amazed at what it requires in
communications..... Might glean something from it anyway for your
purposes. - MM

It would be helpful if we could discuss, in part, the non-science aspect
of the demo, namely who our audience is and what would make an impression
on them. I haven't been at a WWW conference, hearing from those who have
been would be useful. Also, any other ideas about what good elements of a
demo would and wouldn't be(strictly from a presentation point of view),
such as the video Joanne sent would be great.
I may not have internet connectivity this weekend, BTW.
Speak to you on monday...

It was decided during Thursday's HCLS call that we should have weekly
BioRDF/BIONT call, so that we can make good progress with the demo. I
hope you can join us on Monday.
We also have some new conference call numbers that people in Europe may
wish to use.
Cheers,
