Alan, thanks for approving the shared-names request. Here's a brief
introduction.

I have an academic background in theoretical chemistry and computer
science. I worked on software product development, software
architecture research, and technology strategy for Xerox Corporation
for many years. I've served on the U.S. NRC committee for CODATA
(www.codata.org),and co-chaired a CODATA Task Group on long-term
access to scientific data in developing countries. I'm currently
working on an InterAcademy Program on Digital Knowledge Resources and
Infrastructure in Developing Countries, and I'm also teaching in the
School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. I'm keenly
interested in the long-term persistence issues of network names for
scientific data and information, and how the resolutions of these
issues can be implemented in scientific data repositories.
