the following will also be advantageous: user interface design;
information visualization; internet applications; databases;
requirements engineering; intelligent systems; knowledge modelling;
Common Lisp; RDF; XML. There will be the freedom to develop/continue
a relevant research career if desired. You'll be joining a friendly

technologies for scholarly publishing, semantic web tools, and
knowledge management. We currently have over a dozen academic and
corporately sponsored research projects in knowledge technologies and
organizational knowledge management. KMi is at the forefront of Java
