[Person-ontology] Let's get started

[Markus Sabadello]

Hi all,

Markus Sabadello from Vienna/Austria. Finished my studies of computer
science last year, now I am with Parity, working closely with Drummond Reed
and Paul Trevithick on the Higgins project and the roles ontologies and the
XRI/XDI standards play in it. Another project I am spending time on is the
Community Dictionary Service (CDS - https://cds.idschemas.idcommons.net).

I do have some knowledge about RDF, OWL and XDI but am quite clueless as far
as other ontology languages are concernced, so I am looking forward to
learning a lot here :)

Markus
