Top SchoolBob Coret is an experienced ICT strategist and hands-on architect with 12+ years helping public and private organisations translate technical possibilities into operational solutions. He advises on information architecture, linked data and open standards—driving projects from metadata strategies at national archives to crowd-sourced cultural heritage platforms like Gouda Tijdmachine. As an independent consultant and founder of several genealogy-focused services, he blends product innovation, standards selection and pragmatic implementation to make complex data useful for users and organisations. His work often sits at the intersection of heritage, government and enterprise IT, where he champions migration to linked data and community-driven platforms. Based in Gouda, he pairs academic computer science training with decades of delivery across libraries, archives and municipal systems, and is notable for turning archival metadata and open standards into public-facing, reusable services.
