Collaborative Projects

Here you will find a list of projects in which I have cooperated as part of a team or other collaborative effort.
With OASIS

OASIS eGovernment Technical Committee

As a full member of this technical committee, I have been involved in several initiatives, notably on "harmonizing taxonomies", on "semantic interoperability" and on building a pilot application and proof of concept for an ebXML registry for interoperability between two different government agencies.

Topic Maps Published Subjects

As a member of this committee, I was involved in commenting the first requirements specification for the best use of "published subject" indicators and identifiers, in accordance with the ISO 13250 Topic Maps standard.

OASIS ebXML Registry Semantic Content Management Sub-Committee

As an observer on this committee, I have been commenting on a number of related activities, in the hope to keep some "joined up thinking" between them.

OASIS Electronic Business Service Oriented Architecture Technical Committee

As an observer on this relatively new committee, I am interested in developing synergies between this vision of ebXML-based architectures and semantic interoperability issues more generally.
With ISO

Document Description and Processing Languages

I am an observer on WG3 of this ISO Sb-Committee (on "Information Association"), because of its work relating to the ISO 13250 "Topic Maps" technical specification. My interest and involvement started as part of a "Use Case" that I submitted based on work we had done in the European Parliament, and that highlighted a shortcoming with certain approaches to information association (particularly, the issues of "facets" and "scope")
With W3C

W3C Technical Architecture Group

I subscribe and occasionally post to this group, which addresses issues related to web architecture. Despite its laudable goals, however, I have not been convinced of late of this group's ability to get beyond a peculiarly W3C mindset.
