My name is Anita de Waard, I work for Elsevier's Advanced Technology Group where my special interest is the semantic web and data standards. I am the chair of the reed Elsevier data standards group, and as such working to get Reed Elsevier back on board with W3C. I did a project on using drug ontologies for disclosing life science information (DOPE). Recently, I recieved a grant from the Dutch government to work on a semantic structure for the scientific article, and will be based at the University of Utrecht for half my time to work on that. I am interested in (discussing) ideas about publishing scientific articles in more modular, knowledge-centric ways, and connecting them through semantic web technologies (e.g. a first small step for conference proceedings: http://wiki.ontoworld.org/index.php/ABCDEF). My background is in (experimental low-temperature) physics, which I studied in Leiden and Moscow.
