introduction

Hi all,

My name is Ben Adida, I'm a security, web, and semweb hacker with the 
Harvard Medical School and the Computer Science department.

(I'm also a tech advisor to Creative Commons and the Creative Commons 
rep to the W3C, where I chair the work on RDFa, but I'm joining this 
list for more general RDF work, not specifically for RDFa.)

I've been building life-sciences/medical apps with Ruby and Redland on 
BDB for the past few months, and I think the Ruby/RDF match is about as 
close to perfect as it gets. I don't need inferencing right away, but I 
anticipate that I will need it sooner than I anticipate :)

My preference is for something like RDF/Redland, a simple-to-install 
triplestore. That said, I'm not opposed to using Sesame over HTTP.

I look forward to the discussions!

-Ben
