health care informatics.<br />
François.Bry.is currently investigating methods and applications emphasizing XML,<br />
semistructured data, document modelling, and query answering and reactivity on<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Web</strong>. Formerly, he worked on knowledge representation, deductive databases,<br />
automated <strong>the</strong>orem proving, and logic programming. Since 1994, he has been full<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>essor at <strong>the</strong> Institute for Informatics, University <strong>of</strong> Munich, Germany. From<br />
1984-1993, he was with <strong>the</strong> European Computer-Industry Research Centre (ECRC),<br />

Oscar.Corcho.has worked at iSOCO as a research manager since March 2004.<br />
Previously, he belonged to <strong>the</strong> Ontological Engineering Group <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> AI Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Computer Science School, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). He<br />
graduated in computer science from UPM in 2000 and received <strong>the</strong> third Spanish<br />
award in computer science from <strong>the</strong> Spanish Government. He obtained an MSc in<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware engineering from UPM (2001) and a PhD in artificial intelligence (2004).<br />
His research activities include ontology languages and tools, <strong>the</strong> ontology translation<br />
problem and <strong>the</strong> <strong>Semantic</strong> <strong>Web</strong> and grid. He has published <strong>the</strong> books Ontological<br />
Engineering and A Layered Declarative Approach to Ontology Translation with<br />
Knowledge Preservation. He has published more than 30 journal and conference/<br />
workshop papers on ontology languages and tools in important forums for <strong>the</strong> ontology<br />
community (ISWC, EKAW, KAW, KCAP, AI Magazine, IEEE Intelligent <strong>Systems</strong>),<br />
and reviews papers in many conferences, workshops and journals. He chaired<br />
<strong>the</strong> demo/industrial sessions at EKAW2002 and co-organised <strong>the</strong> ISWC2003 and<br />
