Hi folks, Just a quick intro... I'm and architect at the IBM Pacific Development Centre, recently renamed the Vancouver Innovation Center. I tend to spend most of my time working on projects in the Education and Financial Services sectors. I just recently finished the first phase of a project to build a Canada wide repository of learning objects (based on the IEEE LOM spec). RDF is part of the architecture for repository to repository metadata interchange. In the Financial Services Sector (primarily e-banking, insurance, and less frequently financial exchanges) I haven't run into RDF, though I'm interested to find out if/where it might apply. I'm also running a skunkworks project playing around with Gnutella-like P2P, decentralized networks... there is a lot of interesting applications of RDF in this area. My RDF exposure thus far has mostly leaned towards the metadata & Dublin Core side of things (rather straight forward uses of the technology, I think) rather than concept graphs, ontologies, etc, although I see some of the work I'm doing potentially moving in this direction. So I'm looking forward to working with you all and learning a lot as I contribute! cheers, - steve Stephen Petschulat Common Architecture and Strategy Team Center for IBM e-business Innovation::Vancouver 4611 Canada Way, Burnaby, BC, Canada Phone: 1-604-297-3231 Fax: 1-604-297-3040
