Short bio

Dean Allemang is a long-time traveler in knowledge science. He was awarded his 
PhD in AI in 1990, worked at five different AI labs in Europe between 1990-1996, 
co-founded a company in the mid-90s that tried to invent the Semantic Web when 
the standards were just a gleam in the eye of a few W3C folks, and is now 
working as a consultant for TopQuadrant Inc. as their Semantic Web expert. 
Though he is the one running the training course, he learns more from the 
students than they ever guess. His laptop is full of Semantic Web software, and 
he even knows how to use more than half of it. "It's an exciting 
time," says Allemang, "for those of us who have been fans of 
abstraction for the past three decades."
