Hi, I will be in transit tomorrow and next week and will miss the meetings. As a little intro though, I am currently the Acting Director of the Knowledge Systems Lab at Stanford and I am in transition to RPI where I am the Tetherless World Constellation Chair. I was instrumental in getting the WebOnt working group started, as a co-author and co-submitter of DAML+OIL, helped write the charter, and was heavily involved in a number of the deliverables. I was lead author of the Overview document and an author of the guide and reference documents. I also co-led the original webont effort to obtain the use cases and requirements. I was also co-chaired the Ontology Engineering Patterns task force of the Semantic Web Best Practices Working group. I have worked in ontology environments and ontology languages for over 20 years. I wrote the original wines ontology at the basis of the Classic Description Logic tutorial which was later used as the basis of ontology 101 and the owl guide. I am also actively using OWL in a number of projects and have helped a number of other projects start using it as well. I have been helping to support the semantic web community with a number of outreach efforts - in particular into the eScience world. see for example http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/sss08/home/SSKI.html I am interested in helping to promote the development of OWL - both in keeping the current semantic web community feeling like they have a stable foundation on which to build and in helping to move OWL forward in the directions that best serve our growing constituency. I am interested in helping to promote a view of continuity in the community in this process of updates. I am interested in helping with the language evolution and willing to participate as an author/editor of the next generation of the document where i was lead author - the overview and also willing to help with the guide update as well. I am working on my schedule right now but i hope to attend the f2f in person in manchester.
