Dear all, My name is Mark van Assem, a post-doc working at VU University Amsterdam. I will be joining the XG. I thought I'd write an email to introduce myself a bit, so here goes. During my thesis work -which I just completed [1]- I was involved in conversion and representation of vocabularies, e.g. MeSH and WordNet (editor at the WN TF of SWBPWG, published at W3C [2]) and participating in the early SKOS days before Antoine got on board. The interaction with the SKOS and WN TF communities was great and influential in my work. I also did some work on representing the VRA metadata element set in RDF [3] for the W3C MM TF and MultimediaN E-Culture project [4] and thus became interested in Dublin Core and the notion of Application Profiles. Tom Baker was part of my PhD defense committee and helped me greatly in shaping that chapter of my thesis. My current work is in close cooperation with Wageningen University, with prof. Jan Top's Information Management group [5]. I just got a paper accepted at ISWC [6] about automatically annotating tables with quantitative (food) research data, using an ontology of Quantities and Units [7]. In the XG there are a number interesting use cases I could participate in, and I would be particularly interested in use cases that address annotation of materials such as scientific data and scientific papers. I look forward to interacting with you and seeing you at the F2F soon! Regards, Mark van Assem.
