I'm Robin McEntire, Director Knowledge-Based Systems, at GlaxoSmithKline. I've been involved in the knowledge representation and ontologies field for some time, and with bio-ontologies in particular. In my current position at GSK, I'm responsible for identifying new technologies that could help our organisation and to leverage those technologies internally, targetting specific problems in the pharmaceutical business. Many of the problems we face in a knowledge-based industry are centered around the ability to identify appropriate information (for scientists and decision-makers) how to manage that information (and knowledge) and how to provide all this in a meaningful, digestible form to those who need it. The Semantic Web brings together a number of technologies and so there is a lot of relevance to what we do. best, robin
