Interests & Work
My general interest are Open Information Systems, or more specifically, Web technologies, ranging from communications mechanisms such as HTTP and SSL to content management and application server programming. My current focus is on the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and associated technologies. I am interested in XML itself and the core specifications such as XInclude, XML Base, XML Namespaces and the XML Information Set. Even though there are numerous technologies for working with XML structures, there is still no decent modeling language for XML, which is another area I am interested in. On top of this foundation, I am interested in XML schema languages (languages, their design, and design patterns for using and combining them) and XSL Transformations. On the application level, my main interests are XML-based information integration, XML-centric software design, XML and databases, and Web Services.
