Introduction: Ted Thibodeau (OpenLink Software)

Hi, all --

I'm Ted Thibodeau, commonly seen around the Web as MacTed and/or
TallTed [1] (not to be confused with the children's entertainer).

The recently concluded Social Web IG, the RDB2RDF XG and WG, the 
WebID XG, and some others do or have included my participation.

I've been working for OpenLink Software [2] since 2000.  We make
the Virtuoso Universal Server [3], OpenLink Data Spaces [4], 
OpenLink Data Explorer [5], a myriad of data access drivers and 
providers [6], and a whole lot more, mostly in the middleware zone.

In the contexts of data access, management, and integration, we 
have been working on FOAF+SSL, the WebID Protocol, various social
applications within the OpenLink Data Spaces suite, and a number
of other relevant protocols, standards, and services.

We had support for one variant of SWAT0 fully implemented during
the challenge cycle, but it turned out that most other implementors
had gone another direction ... so we implemented that one next.
I believe full interoperability is now testable.

I'm looking forward to full materialization of the distributed, 
federated social web!

Be seeing you,

Ted
