I am the newly appoined principal rep from HP. I am one of the 'new to RDF' members, who hope nevertheless to make a worthwhile contribution. I work in HP Labs, Bristol in the RDF/Semantic Web activity. Brian McBride started that activity last year, and I joined him in January. I have consciously not joined the working group for quite a while now. We felt that our HP labs team would be better balanced if I made other contributions. Instead, I have been adding new features to Jena: the abbreviated syntax writer; the graph comparison algorithm; and most recently another RDF parser. We have revised this earlier decision in light of the face-to-face; particularly http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/RDFCore/20010801-f2f/2001-08-02.html#T18-22-32 . I have been a researcher at HP Labs for nearly ten years, before that I was a research associate at the University of Manchester (UMIST). I have worked in a variety of areas. Those of relevance include: + computational linguistics, grammars, compilers + massive distributed databases + distributed systems + web services + model based reasoning + logic programming + paraconsistency I also have a strong mathematics background, particularly on the pure side. My greatest disappointment :-( with the RDF community is that no one has followed the ARP URL up one to my homepage http://www-uk.hpl.hp.com/people/jjc and then e-mailed me to say how wonderful my triangles are. (They are, even if I have to say so myself). Looking forward to working with you all. Jeremy Carroll HP Labs, Bristol.Received on Thursday, 16 August 2001 13:37:12 EDT
