<div class='foaf-person'><h3>Ralph Swick, Chief Operating Officer</h3>
<div>Ralph joined W3C in January 1997, to focus on the Privacy and
Demographics project. As that project (now called
P3P) was starting, Ralph also started the
Metadata project. The
Resource Description Framework
became a full-time
responsibility when the Metadata Activity turned into the Semantic Web Activity.
In 2007 Ralph became the leader of the Technology and Society Domain and in 2009 was appointed Acting Chief Operating Officer. As of 2010 the 'acting' qualfier was removed. Ralph came to us from the X Consortium, where he
was Technical Director for the X Window System. Ralph brings to W3C
both a systems background and an application background. Long
involved with the X Window System, Ralph was one of the architects
of the Xt Intrinsics (user interface) toolkit.
Prior to joining the X Consortium, Ralph was a software engineer
for Digital Equipment Corporation in their Office Systems Advanced
Development Group. There he worked on information filtering tools
(software agents) and computer-supported cooperative work tools.
Before that, Ralph was in Digital's Corporate Research Group
working at MIT Project Athena. Ralph holds a BS in Physics and
Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University.
Ralph's interests are in applications of Web technologies to
support human-human interaction, especially over time and distance.</div>

<div><p>Phil Archer originally joined the team to work on the <a href="http://www.w3.org/Mobile/">Mobile Web Initiative</a> in February 2009, specifically to work on developing and delivering <a href="http://www.w3.org/Mobile/training/">training</a> in this area. Before joining the team he'd been a participant in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/">Mobile Web Best Practices</a> working group (joining at its inception in June 2005) with a particular interest in the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/mobileOK/">mobileOK scheme</a>. Phil was an editor of, or acknowledged contributor to, 6 of the documents created by the MWBP Working Group.</p>
<p>Separately from his W3C team remit, Phil has also been involved with the Semantic Web activity as chair of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2007/powder/">POWDER working group</a>. As part of this role he co-edited all documents (except the Primer) and created one of the two <a href="http://i-sieve.com/powderprocessor/">reference implementations</a>. It was this work that lead Phil to focus on the area of linked data and, eventually, to take up his current role in the <a href="/TandS/">Technology and Society</a> domain working on <a href="/egov/">eGovernment</a> projects.</p>
