Re: Introduction(s) to HCLS IG

Hi, I’m Andrew Gibson. For my background and experience just look here:

http://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewgibson

Since July 2008 I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher at the 
University of Amsterdam where I am project leader of the BioExpert 
project. We are developing a system for creating biological knowledge 
bases using concept maps. Though we are still in relatively early 
stages, a first pilot knowledge base already exists containing detailed 
knowledge about the Peroxisome. We are using a combination of SKOS and 
(not very expressive) OWL, which we hope to make available in a 
triplestore + SPARQL endpoint soon and have longer term plans for a nice 
web interface for this. I’m not quite ready to show anything off just 
yet unfortunately – though I am more than happy to share my knowledge 
and experience with Semantic Web technologies.

I was actually at the F2F in Cannes, so hello again if you remember me :-)

Kind Regards
Andrew
