Introduction

Hello!

My name is Alexander Haffner and I'm a computer scientist. Since
September 2009 I work as a research fellow for the Competence Centre for
Interoperable Metadata (KIM) [1] at the German National Library (DNB)
[2]. From 2005 to 2009 I worked at the chair for Human Computer
Interaction at the University of Technology Dresden [3] in the fields of
usability and accessibility research.

Currently, I primarily work in the area of the DNB data analysis and the
according data modelling to meet future cataloguing models like FRBR and
FRAD. In particular we elaborate strategies to apply RDA and to
establish the compliant metadata in the semantic web. Recently, we
released our first linked open data service [4] (English documentation
will be available soon) which is a first step to better utilize library
data and to improve (modular) data exchange. Besides authority data we
intend to publish our bibliographic data as linked data as soon as
possible. 

cheers, Alexander
