Vision
My ideal role will involve creating, editing, and organizing metadata for digital (or digitized) archives of primary source material. I am especially interested in improving the functionality of traditional cataloging systems in semantic web settings, and mapping legacy data to emergent ontological models. In the near future, I expect to continue working on limited scope archival projects, and seek to gain experience in museums or other cultural heritage institutions with more robust collections.
