I've been the Metadata Services Librarian at NYU since early 2007. Much of that time has been spent on an ILS migration, and on the implementation and upkeep of a next-generation Enterprise Search System: Ex Libris' Primo. This experience has further convinced him of the need for more rigorous data modeling and the use of common web protocols to support metadata interoperability. As a result, I've focused my professional work on discussing Semantic Web technologies and Linked Open Data principles with librarians in a variety of venues, and have been actively involved in the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) since 2002.

Prior to coming to NYU, I was nearly-a-cataloger-but-instead-a-Metadata-Librarian, as well as a Digital Library Developer and accidentally a systems librarian at the University of Oregon.
