BLOG
NOW LIVE!!
The
main focus of my professional career has been working
for both the United
Nations CEFACT committee and OASIS
for the purposes of writing and building new architectures
for global integration of multiple systems. I also work
for Adobe
Systems which I love. Great company!
Since 1996, I have been fortunate enough to work on
multiple enterprise architectures including many service
oriented architectures (SOA) within various standards
bodies including W3C,
UN/CEFACT,
OASIS and others.
I have also contributed to many SOA papers and articles
on service oriented architecture. My focus has shifted
towards many web service standards in recent years.
I
have worked on many other interesting technologies including
the first contextual
XML Search Engine, an Alternative fuel hydrogen
project and the new UN/CEFACT eBusiness Architecture
and related technologies.
The next level of this work will probably be linked
to Ontology
work. I participate in the Ontolog Forum which is
a great group. If you want to join, please email
me.
Porsche
Stuff!
I
have new footage from Racing the Twin Turbo Porsche
at Porsche Club Autocross events. The learning curve
is a bit steep but my car has been well prepared by
Weissach. Results
so far are
PCA
NWR Autocross #1 - 2nd place in class, 2nd overall
PCA NWR Autocross #2 - 1st place in class, 1st overall,
Fastest time of the day.
PCA NWR Autocross #3 - 1st place in class, congrats
to Jasper on FTD
Here is an MPEG movie
(20 mb) of a 42.7 second run at event #2 (2nd fastest
time of the day). Unfortunately, I had PSM on which
is usually a second slower. Could have been the winning
run.
Some
great photos are
here, courtesy of Jeff Grant.
This
website is meant to facilitate sharing of some of this
information as well as a focal point for my work.

- a guide to interpretting
Concept Maps. It struck me as strange that many
people use Concept Maps however no one has written any
definitive conventions for them. This is an early DRAFT.
Comments appreciated.
