Software Architect and Data Warehouse by day, Metadata and BigData projects by night. One day when writing a research paper to debunk a buzzword called "Web 3.0" or "Semantic Web" I realized that this was actually the solution to all the problems I had been running into when designing some of my large database designs.

With my background, I have been able to handle the technical aspects of the Semantic Web Stack (URI, RDF, RDFa), but have a harder time understanding the higher aspects of the stack (ontologies, reasoning, AI). And that is why I am here to learn.
