Re: DW WG: First call agenda and presentations

My name is Makx Dekkers. I am an independent consultant in Barcelona and an
invited expert in the group.

I was also a member of the Government Linked Data Group. I was the editor
for the DCAT Application Profile for European data portals and of the
initial version of the Asset Description Metadata Schema ADMS. I am
currently involved in activities for the European Commission around
interoperability in the eGovernment domain.

I was the Managing Director of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative and
furthermore very much involved in the development of the Europeana Data
Model for Europeana, the European portal for digital culture.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to participate in today's call but hope
to catch up with the group in the next week.

Makx.
