Position Paper

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please find attached the position paper for Semantic Web Life
sciences workshop

I have been working in Semantic Web and Biomedical informatics
technologies since past couple of years. I have been closely
following work in OWL standardization and worked on same at IBM T.
J Watson. I am also involved in Protege OWL based plugin
development.

Currently, I am a PhD student at Biomedical informatics deparment at
the Columbia University. I believe there are several opportunities
for applying Semantic Web based solutions in several of Biomedical
projects here and the workshop would give me a broad perspective on
the state of the art in the field. I believe this is an excellent
opportunity for me to interact and share ideas with the some of the
leaders in the field.

Thanks,
Chintan
