the creation of a metadata-ready Web. And finally to establish liaisons with
other technical standards bodies involved in Web-related technology to ensure
compliance with existing Semantic Web standards and collect requirements for
future W3C work.</p>

<p>Before joining the W3C, Eric was a Senior Research Scientist at <a

<h3>Jim Miller</h3>

<p>Jim joined the W3C in June 1995 as Domain Leader for Technology &amp;
Society, having designed and implemented numerous innovative and useful
real-world systems over more than twenty years. His work involves people
interacting with computers to perform tasks better than either can do alone. He
creates systems which allow each partner in the task to understand the other's
abilities and limitations, enabling each to make informed decisions about the
division of labor. His work deals with creating simple models of what the
computer does and conveying them to the human partners.</p>

<p>Jim was one of the principal designers of the PICS (Platform for Internet
Content Selection) specifications in addition to overseeing development in
Payments, Demographics and Privacy, Intellectual Property Rights, and
