I'm Principal Investigator for the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) [1] Integration and Transition effort and chair of the Joint US/EU ad hoc Agent Markup Language committee [2]. I've been working with RDF since July 2000, and have developed several DAML/RDF tools. Some additional background information is available on my home page [3]. Some objectives I have: 1) identifying contributions that the DAML program can make to RDF Core (vs. the proposed higher level Web Ontology Working Group). Possibilities that immediately come to mind include formal semantics and experience with XML Schema data types. 2) providing a simple means (e.g. standardized statement IDs) short of the current reification mechanisms to "tag" large numbers of statements with source information, timestamps, etc. See [4]. 3) ensuring that RDF continues to provide a suitable base for building DAML I look forward to working with the group!
