Orri Erling is the Program Manager for OpenLink Software's Virtuoso Universal Server. I have designed and written large parts of the Virtuoso database engine and SQL compiler as well as many other parts of the product. I have prior experience in AI related fields such as implementing Common Lisp compilers and am familiar with inferencing and earlier knowledge representation work. The present emergence of the semantic web thus brings together my strong database background with my earlier involvement in symbolic computing. I have also been involved in building high-traffic first generation web applications, up to a million end user accounts. Present technical interests include scalability of semantic web technologies, building inference capabilities into database query processing, building federated Internet scale information systems using semantic web techniques. My interest in the Semantic Web Education and Outreach theme workk lies in placing the technology in a real life context and thus identifying emerging use cases and requirements.
