Dot Net Elite - John F. Keane

When not tackling a difficult sudoku, John is continually striving to integrate semantics, marketing and design with the interactive potential inherent in ICT to achieve a harmonious and expressive synthesis of those elements. Inherent in this is a major interest in applying the insights of General Semantics to generate clear and intelligible structures with which the user can negotiate an online product or organisational marketing system with maximum ease and consistency. Part of this programme is the specified use of cross-referential semantic synergies allowing the persuasive extension of any user’s conceptual map of a marketing instrument’s content.
