About

I am a mathematician by training (University of Leyden, Netherlands) and an ICT consultant and web specialist by profession, and a global activist as well.

 

Rainbow Warriors International, of which I am founding member and president is at the forefront of implementing Semantic Web technologies to give meaningful content to the UN ICT Taskforce's intention of using ICT to empower sustainable development stakeholders worldwide.

Rainbow Warriors Core Foundation, based in Aruba, Dutch Caribbean, an ICT driven organization and the Ekolibrium Foundation, based in Leyden, The Netherlands are working out the details of a bold plan to engage all civil society organizations in the process of embracing SW technologies to give meaningful content to ICT as a tool for all stakeholders.

In particular what the UN calls the Major Groups in sustainable development:

The Dutch academia are at the forefront at the open access revolution as well, acknowledging the fact that without open access to inline journals and data/information repositories, much of the ICT tools for empowerment phrase will remain just that a hollow hyped up phrase.

Our work hinges on expanding on open source software, open licenses schemes and open access agreements in addition to using the Eclipse Foundation (www.eclipse.org) framework, W3C initiatives and guidelines and the valuable input of companies like Sun Microsystems, Sybase and Google and many other software companies embracing initiatives to engage non-profits in general and SW technologies.
