Re: Pre-Telecon Introductions

I'm Raphaël Troncy, currently researcher in the Centre for Mathematics 
and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam (NL) but soon lecturer and 
researcher in the multimedia department of the EURECOM telecom institute 
in Sophia Antipolis (FR).

My research interests include Semantic Web and Multimedia Technologies,
Knowledge Representation for the Web, Ontology Modeling and Alignment. 
I'm interested in this incubator group because I also strongly believe 
that social data should be fully controlled and owned by users, and not 
locked into some walled-gardens. I would like to contribute into 
establishing good practices and building the infrastructure that will 
enable a truly decentralized, trustworthy and privacy controlled social web.

I'm finally used to W3C practices. I have co-chaired the Multimedia 
Semantics Incubator Group [1] and I'm now co-chairing the Media 
Fragments Working Group [2]. I have also participated in the Semantic 
Web Deployment Working Group [3] and I'm now active in the Media 
Annotations Working Group [4]. I hope to bring here various perspectives 
from these groups and act as liaison with them.
