	'''Requirements''': This course is open to all persons with an undergraduate degree and some relevant experience (for example in data science, terminology research, logic, philosophy). In order to receive a grade and course credit students will be required to have reviewed in a timely manner all provided videos and any accompanying recommended reading. Grading will be on the basis of contributions to the on-line class discussion forum and on the quality and content of a 20 minute youtube video (with accompanying essay and powerpoint slide deck) on some topic in the field of ~~formal~~ ontology. Each student will be required to create one such video for presentation in the final class session on May 8.
