Hello all. I am a practicing neurosurgeon on the faculty at Tufts University-New England Medical Center in Boston, where among other activities I direct the Boston Gamma Knife Center. I basically spend much of my day performing brain operations at various computer graphics workstations. I have had a long interest in AI and computational neuroscience, using graph description languages to model brain networks. More recently I have been involved in XML, developing some XML telemedicine applications, integrating XML with email etc. I have a particular interest in XML namespaces. I am an editor of the RDDL specification. I serve as the ASTM E31 Electronic Healthcare Records subcommittee chair, having developed XML standards for medical records. I am the director of the Open Healthcare Group which has developed open source software for medical records. My current interests lie in the area of data mining electronic healthcare information, integration of disparate healthcare namespaces and the automation of clinical medical processes. The development of web ontologies is critical to this activity. One of my main goals is to ensure that OWL will be relevent to the healthcare processes and information. I wish to ensure OWL is well integrated with the wider range of XML specifications in order that it will achieve its maximal impact. I also expect to learn alot about DL, inferencing etc. I look forward to participating.
