Re: DW WG: First call agenda and presentations

Thanks, Yaso.

Hello all,

My name is Martin Alvarez, the Manager of the W3C Office in Spain [1].
I also work as consultant for CTIC Foundation [2], having been
involved in a dozen of Open Data initiatives in Spain –most of them
with some Semantic Web components. I've worked as advisor for the
Spanish government in the development of a technical standard for
interoperability of Open Data catalogs, which enables semantic
interoperability, based on DCAT, among all-governmental-level public
bodies. Apart from this, I'm part of the Advisory Board for the ePSI
Platform [3], a tool of the European Commission to build community
around PSI reuse in Europe.

Best,

Martin
