My interest is likewise in vocabulary deployment.  I am
a member of the Directorate and Chair of the Usage Board
of the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) [1].  

I also work at the Goettingen State and University Library
(SUB), which is currently starting a new project with the
German National Library -- Competence Center for Interoperable
Metadata (KIM) -- with a focus on Dublin Core and SKOS.
I am participating in SWD in my SUB Goettingen role.

SKOS has also become a big topic in the DCMI community --
see last week's conference in Mexico [2].  

Over the past few years I have worked in various European
projects and working groups related to metadata and metadata
registries.  In the Semantic Web Best Practices and Deployment
Working Group I was coordinator of the Vocabulary Management
Task Force [3].
