Introduction to Paolo Ciccarese, Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Dear all,

I’m Paolo Ciccarese [1], assistant professor of Neurology at Harvard
Medical School and assistant in neuroscience at Massachusetts General
Hospital. I am the co-chair of the W3C Open Annotation Community Group and
one of the editor of the current Open Annotation Model Draft.

I authored the Annotation Ontology [2], which was with the Open Annotation
Collaboration Model, one of the two starting models for the current
specification draft. I am the architect of the Domeo Annotation Tool [3]
and I am currently developing Annotopia [4, 5] an open-source  universal
annotation server designed around the Open Annotation data model and able
to support multiple annotation clients [6].

Before focusing directly on ‘annotation’ I was still developing tools for
annotating clinical guidelines and modeling scientific discourse (SWAN
[7]). While creating several software platforms I’ve been developing
ontologies such as PAV [8] and CO [9].

I am looking forward to contribute to the new Working Group and go beyond
the outstanding achievements of the Open Annotation Community Group!

Best,
Paolo
