	12:43:49 Michael DeBellis : Re: elevator pitch, my elevator pitch is that ontologies are NOT complex, they are based on set theory and logic and we all use set theory and logic every day. I often find that non technical users pick up ontologies and Protege very quickly. I also avoid using jargon and just say an ontology is 1) the schema model for a graph database 2) A schema model that includes automatic validation and reasoning. I.e., start with things they understand first.		12:43:49 Michael DeBellis : Re: elevator pitch, my elevator pitch is that ontologies are NOT complex, they are based on set theory and logic and we all use set theory and logic every day.
