Re: Introductions

I join SWEO a couple of months ago. It is good to know and let known in
such a community. I might be one of very few people in this community from
Asia -- I'm located in Beijing, China. Actually I works for IBM in its
China Research Lab (http://www.research.ibm.com/beijing/) and here's my
homepage in IBM Reserach (http://www.research.ibm.com/people/p/panyue). If
you will trip to Beijing, please let me know if you'd like to stop by and
visit the lab.

I started to work on Semantic Web since 1990s, when I worked on PICS
(http://www.w3.org/PICS/) and then watched the emerging of RDF standard and
applications like TAP (http://tap.stanford.edu) in early days. After
joining IBM, I moved to work on Natural Language Processing for a few years
and then switch back on Semantic Web since 2002. An outcome of my research
team (Lei Zhang, Li Ma, Guo Tong Xie, ...) is Integrated Ontology
Development Toolkit (IODT). IODT is an effort trying to bridge Semantic Web
community and Model Driven Architecture which is selected as the modeling
architecture in industry. An part of it (EODM) is a reference
implementation of OMG's Ontology Definition Metamodel
(http://www.omg.org/ontology/). EODM is also available from Eclipse.
Another part of IODT is a scalable ontology repository supporting SPARQL
and DLP reasoning.

We have a lot of cooperation with universities in China. With APEX lab of
Shanghai Jiao Tong University (http://apex.sjtu.edu.cn), we research into
the ontology engineering environment and semantic wiki. We also teach a
course "Semantic Web Principle and Applications" in SJTU. We also have
joint research with Tsinghua University and Southeast Univeristy and taught
a few classes in Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Recently my team is working on applying Semantic Web principle into
metadata and master data management, as well as solutions for industries
like financial market and healthcare. Again, I believe the application of
Semantic Web within enterprises will greatly help the Semantic Web as a
whole, just like intranets to the Internet.

We've had a few new people join SWEO over the last couple of months. If you
are new, it'd be great if you could send out an introduction to the mailing
list. These introductions are then linked to the Wiki page [1].

Cheers,

Susie
