Re: Finding a PhD Thesis

Jean-Christophe,

     If you are in Marseilles, you may be close to Sophia. A very
talented French semantic web researcher, Fabien Gandon, lives there
that you should meet: <Fabien.Gandon@sophia.inria.fr>

   I'd recommend looking at and joining the W3C Semantic Web lists,
like semantic-web@w3.org.

    Also, feel free to read my thesis for background:

HTML: http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/homepage/thesis/
PDF: http://www.ibiblio.org/hhalpin/homepage/thesis/thesis.pdf

   A good book is Hendler's W3C

   If I'm in Marseilles I'll look you up.


   thanks,
       harry
