Ah, I realize I haven't seen an introduction out yet! I'm a postgraduate researcher at the University of Edinburgh in the School of Informatics, where I work mostly with Henry S. Thompson and Peter Buneman. My research area is in Web architecture and in approaches to combining XML and RDF processing. Under previous hats I am have also done work in statistical natural language processing and philosophy of language. I'll be co-chairing this group with Brian McBride from HP, who is currently a bit busy, and my goal is to reach community consensus on the use of GRDDL, to make sure any bugs or questions are dealt with, and to produce a specification in a timely manner. I'm especially interested in seeing use-cases that excite people over the possibilities inherent in GRDDL, and in creating a suite of implementations to enable wide-spread usage. I believe GRDDL is one of the best chances the Semantic Web has to create truly useful and large data-sets, and that the Web as a whole will find GRDDL needed to maximize the "network effect" of structured markup. I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland. My schedule is on my homepage: http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin It's also available in the hCal microformat and in RDF using GRDDL. I check e-mail constantly on a normal day, and at least once a day if not in my office in Edinburgh. AIM: HarryRHalpin IRC: hhalpin - found on #swig and the GRDDL IRC.
