Roles at W3C, MIT and Southampton?
(2004) When I moved to MIT from CERN in 1994, it was to start the World Wide Web Consortium and act as its Director. Since then, my time has been split between the various tasks that involves, and, once the W3C was running smoothly, also forward-looking research into the future of decentralized systems like the Web and specifically the Web of machine-processsable data, the “Semantic Web”. In 2002, Steve Bratt joined W3C as Chief Operating Officer and in 2006 was named CEO, which made that part of my life much easier, and made W3C run very much more effectively. In 2004, I also accepted a part-time post at Southampton University in the UK. Southampton is one of the leading sites in Semantic Web research in the UK. While this will take a fairly limited amount of my time, I hope it will help collaboration between MIT and Southampton, and it will allow me to help Southampton and MIT to plan future research directions. My roles as W3C Director and resarcher at CSAIL continue.
