Jean-Christophe,
If you are in Marseilles, you may be close to Sophia. A very
talented French semantic web researcher, Fabien Gandon, lives there
that you should meet: <
Fabien.Gandon@...>
I'd recommend looking at and joining the W3C Semantic Web lists,
like
semantic-web@....
Also, feel free to read my thesis for background:

If I'm in Marseilles I'll look you up.
thanks,
harry
