Greetings from Michigan. I am a retired IT professional continuing to work in information science, realizing a goal from collage to combine IT and the Humanities (liberal arts degree from Davidson College with Junior Year in Germany, MS in Information Science from Ga Tech in 1969). I am working in three areas:

1. "History Explorer" to make date-related information now on the Semantic Web more readily available to the general public.

• The prototype website for this project is at http://hexplore.azurewebsites.net/#/
• The architecture for this site is Node.js, Vue.js, Quasar framework, Azure SQL

2. The applied ontologies needed to make this informaiton semantically "reasonable."

• I am pleased to be collaborating on an informal basis with a internationally recognized leader in this field, Dr. Yongqun (Oliver) He at the University of Michigan Medical Center
• We are currently working to develop an Occupation Ontology and ultimately a "Life Ontology"
• This ontological work is described on the prototype website at http://hexplore.azurewebsites.net/#/gptopics/gpwhat

3. Using the amazing observablehq.com system for prototyping and augmenting the website information

• Several notebooks are public and the life ontologies concept is in an Observable Collection at https://observablehq.com/collection/@smithgit/life-ontologies
