Personal note: The above provide a fair picture of my formal-work-style existence. I live in the bottom left-hand corner of Anglesey, the upended-square shaped island off the North coast of Wales, UK, just close enough to the railhead to London, Birmingham & Manchester to be practical. My recent personal research interests concern XML-mediated semantic interoperability, using topic maps and HL7v3 as examples - see my series of papers in the Extreme Markup Languages conference at http://www.idealliance.org/papers/extreme/proceedings/index.html (1CIF)
