My research interests are mainly on policy aware systems and the semantic web. I am currently involved in the Transparent Accountable data Mining Initiative(TAMI) [1] where I have developed several "accountability" tools on the Tabulator [2]. I will be participating in this XG as an invited expert. I hope this group will discuss and will come up with standards and/or technical solutions to address issues related to privacy of publicly available social data. I am specifically interested in adverse use of personal information on the web. Looking forward to working with you all!
