Howdy folks, My name is Patrick Stickler [1] and I work for Nokia, most recently with the Web Services group at Forum Nokia [2], the developer tools and support division of Nokia, and earlier at Nokia Research Center and Nokia Networks. I've been banging about the SW community for some years now, mostly using RDF to build metadata-driven content management and publication solutions used both internally within Nokia as well as in product documentation delivery systems for telecom network management systems. I'm a member of the RDF Core WG and have participated in several other standards groups and initiatives in the past. I have a bachelor's degree in Computational Linguistics and Computer Science from the University of Helsinki and a master's degree in Information Studies from the University of Tampere. I'm an American, but have lived in Finland for the past 18 years. My work/research experience [3] has centered around structured markup, content management, data mining, and knowledge based systems; and my current interests and activities are focused primarily on the publication and discovery of knowledge for use by automated systems, to which end I have been working on several technologies that intersect with the goals of this working group, in particular URIQA [4], the URI Query Agent model for discovery of authoritative resource descriptions, and RDFQ [5], an RDF vocabulary and query model for expressing RDF queries in RDF and recieving the results of those queries in RDF, both of which are central components of the Nokia Semantic Web Server [6], a knowledge portal providing rich metadata descriptions of resources of interest to mobile application developers and used to orchestrate web services and content provided by Forum Nokia. I am particularly interested in seeing the emergence of a standardized means of bootstrapping the Semantic Web through access to authoritative descriptions of resources by agents having nothing but the denoting URIs. I am also concerned about standardized knowledge discovery and interchange being as efficient and light weight as possible for SW agents, particularly those running on mobile devices. I'm very glad to see this working group finally get off the ground and look forward to collaborating with all of you.
