Sir Tim Berners-Lee <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/> of the World
Wide Web Consortium <http://www.w3.org> has appointed Science Commons'
own Jonathan Rees <http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/rees/> to
the Technical Architecture Group (TAG) <http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/> of
the W3C. The term lasts for two years.
The TAG oversees the technical architecture of the World Wide Web,
providing advice to Web standards groups and others in a number of
areas, including identifiers, metadata and security.
Rees brings to the TAG nearly 30 years of experience with software
systems, with a focus on programming language design and knowledge
representation.The TAG's work is of special interest to Science Commons
in its efforts to make the Web work better for science. Issues of
importance to our proof-of-concept project - the Neurocommons
<http://sciencecommons.org/projects/data/> - include URIs for entities
of scientific interest (such as reagents), linking documents via common
bibliographic references, and the stability of collaborative knowledge
representation efforts.
Congratulations, Jonathan!
