Re: Pre-Telecon Introductions

Hi everyone,

my name is Alexander Korth and I am the Director of Competence Center 
Information Retrieval and Machine Learning at DAI-Labor, Technische Universität 
Berlin, a 25 people research group. My background and interests are Information 
Retrieval, Machine Learning and especially the Social Web. I study the behaviour 
of people on my side-project cityfinger, a privacy-preserving platform for 
location-based social micro-communities, which I am writing my PhD thesis about.
Besides, I co-operated the second Berlin Barcamp in 2007 and host numerous 
Social Web-related meetups in Berlin since 2006.
My best known publication must be my recent guest author article on RWW [1] 
about the Web of Data.
My goal by particiating here are the creation of standards for, e.g. privacy and 
accessibility, within the emerging social web.
I am looking forward to work with you!

Regards,
Alex
