Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Johnson is a Senior FAIR Data Scientist and librarian with 11 years of experience applying data science to metadata, ontologies, and linked data for biomedical discovery and digital libraries. At AbbVie he develops and maintains ontologies to accelerate literature-based scientific discovery, drawing on a background building metadata tools and RDF/XML workflows at UC San Diego and in academic digital collections. He teaches metadata at the master’s level, blending practical instruction in XML, schema design, and linked data with hands-on curation experience. Ryan’s strengths include metadata crosswalking, XSLT-driven transformations, and improving metadata quality in both open-source and commercial DAM systems—skills that bridge scholarly practice and production data pipelines. Based in Syracuse, he pairs librarian rigor with software-oriented toolbuilding, often turning archival metadata standards into automated, reusable solutions.
