As the newest member of the GRDDL working group, I thought I should introduce myself. I am a part of the central architecture team in the HP Software division of HP, where I am particularly interested in enabling the incremental adoption of RDF in an XML world, as described here: http://dbooth.org/2007/rdf-and-soa/rdf-and-soa-paper.htm GRDDL, of course, plays a key role in this approach by permitting XML documents to be transparently transformed into RDF -- essentially allowing XML formats to be treated as specialized serializations of RDF. I intended to join the GRDDL working group at its beginning, but various internal developments took precedence (notably, HP bought Mercury Interactive). However, the recent discovery of GRDDL's ambiguity problem (issue-dbooth-3) brought the GRDDL work to the top of my priority list. I am joining the working group now because I care deeply about GRDDL's success, and while I believe this ambiguity issue is a critical flaw that *must* be fixed, I am also sensitive to the fact that the working group has already put a lot of work into this spec and wants to get it done. Therefore, I want to do everything I can to help with the grunt work of fixing it, rather than just carping about it from outside the group. I was previously a member of the following W3C working groups: Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment Web Services Description Language (WSDL 2.0) Web Services Architecture I look forward to working with you.
