Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClifford Wulfman is a multidisciplinary director and engineer who sits at the intersection of information science and literary scholarship, leading the Blue Mountain Project to digitize rare avant-garde periodicals. With 14+ years building digital library infrastructures, he architects METS/ALTO, IIIF, and TEI-driven systems and has secured major NEH funding to digitize dozens of historical magazines. He combines hands-on development (eXist-db, XQuery, XSLT, linked data) with standards leadership—helping drive OSET adoption of NIST 1500-series interoperability and contributing to election administration tooling and DLT deployment testing. A veteran academic collaborator, he has built repositories for Princeton and Brown, led large-scale digitization programs, and publishes and presents widely in digital humanities forums. Unusually for a humanities-trained scholar, he pairs a PhD in English with an MS in AI/Computational Linguistics, enabling him to translate scholarly requirements into robust, standards-compliant software. Based in New Jersey, he consults on XML and knowledge-graph applications while continuing to shepherd long-term digital preservation projects.
