Re: [bpmlod] introductions

Dear all,

my name is Elena Montiel-Ponsoda and I am lecturer at the Universidad 
Politécnica de Madrid and senior resercher at the Ontology Engineering 
Group of the same university.
My background is on Translation and Terminology, and I hold a PhD on 
Applied Linguistics. My main research interests concern the 
representation of lexical, terminological and mutilingual information on 
the Web. I have been working together with other members of this group 
in the NeOn and Monnet projects. Within the latter one, we developed the 
lexicon-ontology model /lemon /to deal with the representation of 
linguistic information associated to ontologies and linked data. This is 
also the main topic of the Ontolex W3C Community Group 
(http://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/).
I am sure we will have very interesting discussions in this group and am 
looking forward to it!

Talk to you tomorrow!
Elena.
