Summary
Linda Van Den Brink is a seasoned geospatial standards and innovation program manager with 11+ years shaping how geo-information is exchanged and published across Dutch and international infrastructures. At Geonovum she leads standards work and chairs W3C/OGC groups, driving interoperability between OGC, W3C and national registries like BGT/IMGeo and the Basisregistratie Ondergrond. Her unusual combination of literary scholarship and deep technical expertise in XML, UML and linked data gives her a rare talent for translating complex semantic and documentation requirements into practical standards and best practices. She has a long track record as an information analyst for cadastral and national datasets and edited the Spatial Data on the Web Best Practices, blending research rigor from her doctoral work with hands-on standardisation delivery. Based in the Randstad, she is known for harmonising geo semantics with e-government information flows to make spatial data more discoverable and reusable.
