I am a technical architect, active on the Internet since the early nineties. My primary area of interest is around the Semantic Web, with more emphasis on the Web and its network effects than on semantics. I advocate the use of Web standards including HTTP, URIs and RDF to build scalable distributed applications. I prefer to use agile development practices especially test-first design. In 2000 I was co-author of the RSS 1.0 specification and I have contributed to many RDF-related developments including vocabularies, frameworks, specifications and standards. I have founded three technology startups in the areas of large scale search, syndication and semantic web architectures. I have a strong personal interest in genealogy.

I maintain a personal blog, Internet Alchemy where I write on technology, the semantic web and whatever else catches my eye. I also contribute to the Talis group blog Nodalities. You can contact me by email using me@iandavis.com or ian.davis@talis.com. I am often on irc.freenode.net as iand in #talis, #swig, #foaf or #code4lib.

I like to think about communication, language, semantics, identity. And then apply it to real world problems. I have studied philosophy, and worked in IT 20 years, the last 10 as an independent consultant. I live in work in Amsterdam, the Netherlands with my wife and three sons. I like cooking and acting. That’s all there is to know about me.
