Biography
As Data Activity Lead at W3C, I coordinate, support and promote the creation of Web standards in areas such as Open Data, Linked Data and the Semantic Web. A frequent speaker at workshops, conferences and seminars worldwide but particularly in Europe, I am passionate about the integration of data within the Web rather than seeing the Web as merely a means of transferring data from one silo to another. On behalf of W3C I participate in various activities with the European Commission, such as the ISA Programme, and a number of research projects. Previously I taught mobile web creation techniques, based on best practices for mobile Web development to which I was a contributor. Specialties: Web technologies, communicating (ex radio presenter, copy writer etc.)
