Currently I look after all Open Source initiatives of Assyst, an IT services firm operating in US, India and other parts of the world. We work with the UN, World Bank, and other Multilateral agencies among others, providing Knowledge management tools, Open Data, Visualization and Mapping tools, Collaboration portals etc. We also work with the plantation industry, with our ERP, PanAGRO being a specialized solution for Tea, Coffee, Oil Palm and other plantations in India and South East Asia. We incorporate and use metatdata in all these fields, by both consuming, as well as helping produce metadata, ontologies and taxonomies; using them for analysis, search and reporting.
