[euopendata] Introduction / German poster?

Thu Feb 11 14:25:26 UTC 2010

Hello,

first of all, Daniel, is there already a German translation of Ton & 
James' poster?

As a new list member, I'd like to introduce myself briefly.

Currently I work as a researcher at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, 
Austria. My topics of interest include database & information systems, 
the Web, Semantic Web & Linked Data, information extraction, screen 
scraping, knowledge management, etc.

I've been working with many Semantic Web tools, libraries (mainly 
Jena/ARQ) and RDF stores, I've developed XLWrap [1] (a 
spreadsheet-to-RDF wrapper which is already in use for Open-Gov Linked 
Data publishing), SemWIQ [2], which is a SPARQL query mediator, and I 
have contributed to D2R-Server [3], a major RDB2RDF wrapper.

Apart from my technical interests, I'm very much interested in 
Government Open Data projects because I believe there's a huge potential 
in available data sets which should be harnessed by the society and the 
industry.

We are currently starting up an Austrian Open Government Data Initiative.

Regards,
AndyL
