He worked in the field of the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), as a consultant for the International DOI Foundation and for several of its members. He was also involved in projects based on the <indecs> framework such as the MPEG-21 RDD project, and in building ontologies to support XML messaging standards such as DDEX and ONIX. Recently, he has been working with Rightscom on data modeling, ontology development, semantic engineering and vocabulary mapping (e. g. on the Vocabulary Mapping Framework). (12NN)
