RE: An Introduction

Welcome, Gary,

If you haven't already read it, Dave Lewis can point you to all the background material that has led to ITS 2.0. This, perhaps even more than the "raw" final text will explain ITS 2.0. Then we look forward to your comments and suggestions for moving forward.

Subject: An Introduction 
 
Hello!

 

In yesterday’s call, Arle asked if I would introduce myself. So here it is.

 

In October I started a part-time PhD at Trinity College in Dublin, remotely from England. I joined the Interoperability and Analytics research area at CNGL, where Dave Lewis is my esteemed supervisor. Before embarking on this adventure I was a student on Reinhard Schäler’s MSc in Multilingual Computing and Localisation at the University of Limerick, from which I can happily say I graduated from yesterday with first class honours. As for my day job, I am doing lots of cool stuff as the Internationalisation Architect at Cisco. I am also a partner in a start-up that specialises in localisation education, and earlier this year I ignited an internationalisation consultancy. There is even a little time to squeeze in some voluntary work for Translators without Borders.

 

I joined the ITS Interest Group so that I may possibly contribute to the further development of ITS through my investigations and research into the application of media meta-data to ITS, based upon the W3C ontology for media resources.
