[VoCamp Discuss] Welcome, and Introductions

[Hausenblas, Michael]

Heya,

Thanks Tom for the gentle reminder ;)

So, hello there, I'm Michael, a senior researcher at JOANNEUM RESEARCH,
an applied research company in Austria. I'm mainly into multimedia
semantics utilising Web of Data technologies in a couple of national and
international (EU) projects. Here at JRS we have contributed to the
linked data community project by publishing a dataset and proposing
"User Contributed Interlinking" [1] as well as addressing issues with
multimedia interlinking. 

I've been involved in some W3C activities (Multimedia Semantics
Incubator Group in 2006/2007, Semantic Web Deployment Working Group and
the RDFa Task Force, ongoing) so far.

Regarding vocabularies I've done some bits in scovo [2] and regarding
ramm.x [3]. Together with Richard, Keith and Jun I'm working on voiD [4]
... and yeah .. somehow finalising my PhD ;)

I'm utterly sad that I can't be with you at the first VoCamp but promise
to attend the next :)

Cheers,
	Michael

>I'm Tom, a researcher in the Platform Division at Talis in the UK (just

>behalf of the community and generally care about the Semantic Web being
>a major success. This latter issue was the driving force behind kicking
>off the VoCamp effort with Richard C, so I'm really excited about the

>there'll be many more in the future.

>While I'm here, a big thanks to David Shotton for making many of the

>VoCampOxford2008.

>So, looking forward to hearing other people's intros, and to meeting
>many of you in Oxford in roughly 6 weeks :)
