Dear all, I may introduce myself. I am Carlos Tejo, a member of the Semantic Web activity line at Fundación CTIC, a non-profit organisation which is hosting the W3C Office in Spain, with Martín Álvarez (already in the group). Just to complete this introduction, a few days ago, we have release a DCAT viewer [1], that could be useful for the community. I think that this would be a good opportunity for me to learn from you all and contribute to the working group. Looking forward to working with you all. Best regards from Spain, Carlos Tejo [1] http://idi.fundacionctic.org/dcat-viewer Carlos Tejo Alonso CTIC-Centro Tecnológico Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Gijón c/ Ada Byron, 39 Edificio Centros Tecnológicos 33203 Gijón - Asturias - Spain Tel.: +34 984 29 12 12 Fax: +34 984 39 06 12 E-mail: carlos.tejo@fundacionctic.org http://www.fundacionctic.org Privacy Policy: http://www.fundacionctic.org/privacidad Carlos Tejo Alonso CTIC-Centro Tecnológico Parque Científico y Tecnológico de Gijón c/ Ada Byron, 39 Edificio Centros Tecnológicos 33203 Gijón - Asturias - Spain Tel.: +34 984 29 12 12 Fax: +34 984 39 06 12 E-mail: carlos.tejo@fundacionctic.org http://www.fundacionctic.org Privacy Policy: http://www.fundacionctic.org/privacidad On 24 January 2014 15:59, Vinh Nguyen <vinh@knoesis.org> wrote: > Dear all, > > My name is Vinh Nguyen.
