introductions: eric miller, w3c

The W3C Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group has  
the potential for bringing individuals from various backgrounds to  
explore the application of Semantic Web technologies to improve  
collaboration, research and development, and innovation adoption in  
the Health Care and Life Science communities.

Given this, I thought it might be helpful to do a quick round of  
introductions to help provide some shared context. So here goes...

My name is Eric Miller, and I'm the Semantic Web Activity Lead for  
the W3C. Some various details (albeit a bit dry :) can be found on my  
home page:

[[
Eric's responsibilities include the architectural and technical  
leadership in the design and evolution of Semantic Web  
infrastructure. Responsibilities additionally include working with  
W3C members so that both working groups in the Semantic Web activity,  
as well as other W3C activities, produce Web standards and  
conventions that support Semantic Web requirements. Additionally, to  
build support among user and vendor communities for the Semantic Web  
by illustrating the benefits to those communities and means of  
participating in the creation of a Web of Data. And finally to  
establish liaisons with other technical standards bodies involved in  
Web-related technology to ensure compliance with existing Semantic  
Web standards and collect requirements for future W3C work in this area.

Before joining the W3C, Eric was a Senior Research Scientist at OCLC  
Online Computer Library Center, Inc. and the co-founder and Associate  
Director of the The Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, an open forum  
engaged in the development of interoperable online metadata standards  
that support a broad range of purposes and business models.

Eric is a Research Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial  
Intelligence Laboratory.
