About me:: I'm an advisor and concept developer at the Norwegian IT consultancy Bouvet ASA. Along with a few others I initiated the development of (ISO13250) Topic Maps (NOT ~"Semantic Web"!) driven web sites and content management systems in Norway in 2001, and have been involved in much of the high activity there since then (~100-150 projects). My focus during the past ten years or so has been on the application of semantic technology and web oriented architecture in the public sector, particularly in the educational area (e.g. the normative representation of the national curriculum for lower education in Norway is now a Topic Map). Along the way, I have learned a lot about the limitations of today's still dominant systems thinking paradigm in IT, and I tend to spend more and more time analyzing social, organisational, and business model interactions, often including workshop fascilitiation, interviews, etc. My formal background is a Cand.Scient. (~M.Sc.+) degree in computer science from the University of Oslo, where I specialized in applied numerical science.
