Re: introductions: Pascal Roland

Hello,

My name is Pascal Roland and I am data manager in Current Biodata Ltd.,
a joint venture company formed by GeneBio S.A. (http://www.genebio.com/)

and the Current Science Group (http://current-science-group.com/).

I was involved in different data integration and data management projects in
medical and scientific environments for 14 years. My previous work was more
at
the biological laboratory level and I have shifted to computing since 1991.
My present work is about proteins and proteomics databases (to build
databases and
to integrate data that comes from differents data sources).

I'm interested in semantic web because I think the semantic integration and
interoperability at the web level represents, probably not the ultimate
but at least, an essential step to master one of the domain of Science where
the complexity seems infinite and where, in the same time, the data deluge
must be organized in a way that allow us to have the best understanding of
life mechanisms.

Best Regards,

Pascal.
