Larry Masinter’s Summary
I've been at Adobe since 2000 in various research and advanced technology areas. Lately I'm working on metadata and workflow, as well as development tools. I've also done work in document and content technologies, including long-term archiving and security, and forms design.
I've been involved in a number of Internet standards efforts, as (co)author or editor of a number of RFCs and as chair of the HTTP and URI working groups in IETF and also worked on some W3C standards.
In the 90s, I worked (at Xerox PARC) on document management, document processing systems and digital libraries.
In the 70s and 80s, I worked on Lisp -- the language and development tools for Interlisp and Common Lisp, used for applications in Artificial Intelligence.
