Adam Leadbetter

Adam Leadbetter is a data scientist at the British Oceanographic Data Centre, focusing on the development of controlled vocabularies for the marine science domain. He is educated as an oceanographer, including research into coastal sediment transport, but maintained a parallel interest in computer science through that education. In addition to his work in the realms of vocabularies and Linked Data, he has a particular interest in developing data into a citable entity for the purposes of scientific reproducibility. He is also co-chair of the technical committee of the International Coastal Atlas Network, defining the work plan to build an interoperable system of Web atlases to link information systems across jurisdictional boundaries.
