Hi Mark,
I watched most of your demo earlier - tough it would have been good
to know up front that it would be 15 minutes. I ran out of time and
didn't get to the end. I liked it though. It's clear that we all
need to do some thinking on what and how so that we can map it out.
I recently went to a meeting at the MASS Technology Leadership
Council - Life Sciences. There were several demos there that were all
good, but the one the audience reacted to the most was by Rishi Sikka
Boston U's Dept of Emergency Medicine. The product was Curbside.MD
and the company Praxeon. Here's the link to the website, thought I
didn't see a demo there. What made the demo compelling was that
everyone could relate to it, i.e. things were expressed in terms that
were not a far reach for the audience. On our recent telecon's and
even in the email thread, a lot of us are having difficulty
visualizing what it is we want do demo. So, let's continue the
discussions ......
Here's a link to some *non-science* demo tips: http://www.instant-

Have a good weekend!

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some respects outdated, but so it goes.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,
Susie
