Summary
Pano Maria is a seasoned information and data architect with a decade of experience designing semantic data models, linked data platforms, and metadata management solutions. As co-founder of ModelDesk and a technical consultant at Netwerk Digitaal Erfgoed, he is building tooling to make metadata and data modeling more practical and governable for organizations. His background includes shaping national-level data publishing at Kadaster, contributing to the W3C SHACL working group, and advising police and government bodies on RDF-based architectures. Comfortable as an independent consultant and collaborator, he blends rigorous academic training from TU Delft with hands-on engineering and standards work. A less obvious strength is his long-running involvement across both public sector and standards communities, which gives him a rare perspective on operationalizing semantic technologies in production.
