Biographies

Christian Bizer Professor Christian Bizer is the head of the Web-based Systems Group at Freie Universität Berlin. The group explores technical and economic questions concerning the development of global, decentralized information environments. The results of his work include the Named Graphs data model, which was adopted into the W3C SPARQL standard, the Fresnel display vocabulary implemented by several data browsers, and the D2RQ mapping language which is widely used for mapping relational databases to the Web of Data. He initialized the Linking Open Data community project and the DBpedia project.

Tom Heath Dr. Tom Heath is a researcher in the Platform Division of Talis Information Ltd, a leading provider of Linked Data storage, management and publishing technologies, where he coordinates internal research focusing on collective intelligence and human-computer interaction in a Linked Data and Semantic Web context. He is a leading member of the Linking Open Data community project, and creator of the Linked Data-enabled reviewing and rating site Revyu.com, winner of the 2007 Semantic Web Challenge. Tom has a PhD in Computer Science from The Open University.

Tim Berners-Lee Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread. Tim is professor at the Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Computer Science Department at the University of Southampton, UK. In 2001 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society.
