Re: Introduction

Hi All,

Today I joined the LDP and for that reason I decided to quickly write a 
short introduction email

My name is Bart van Leeuwen and I represent netage.nl, a privatly held 
company specialized in software for fire departments.
We build upon the experience of our team members in real fire fighting, I 
am myself still a active fire fighter in the city of Amsterdam, The 
Netherlands.

We use semantic web technology specifically RDF to solve the problems with 
static data models in a environment where nothing is what it seems.
My Interest for this working group is based on the 2 things
1) I slowly start to convince people that linked data is a part of the 
solution to these data interoperability issues. But when the question is 
asked 'show us the tools and standards' I can't really answer. I hope this 
group can help solve that problem
2) in the light of point 1) I hope to bring pragmatic and real world usage 
reports to the group, we have the ability to testdrive a lot of new 
technology in production environments at the fire department.

>From the member list I guess I met a large part of the members already, 
and I'll be present in Lyon as well, so I'll update the wiki accordingly.

I'll start reading up on the mailing list tonight so I can join in on the 
discussions.

Met Vriendelijke Groet / With Kind Regards
Bart van Leeuwen
