I'm robert @Stevens, a bioinformatics lecturer at the University of Manchester. I have a special interst in bio-ontologies. Here at Manchester we are deep into use of semantic web technologies in the life science domain. We also have a good blend of OWL users; language and reasoning expertise; and tool builders -- and we all feed off each other. Robert.
