Building the Future’s Structured Content Solutions… Today!

Ron Celeste, CEO of ThinSpring, Will Present 'One Version of the Truth: Operating Globally With Structured Content'

Basking Ridge, NJ (May 31, 2007) - Ron Celeste, the CEO of ThinSpring, a leading provider of XML-based solutions such as XML Sage™, SPL Server™, and the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Electronic Labeling Information Processing System (ELIPS), will present an important topic: "One Version of the Truth: Operating Globally With Structured Content" at RAPS New York/New Jersey Chapter Meeting on June 7, 2007 at The Inn at Somerset Hills in Basking Ridge, NJ.

Mr. Celeste will illustrate how constant growth in the medical products industries has brought forth new informatics models that bridge a variety of biological and medical information operations. By defining meaning within the product data and focusing on the semantics of information, the knowledge to find cures and deliver them safely will be more readily available to researchers and manufacturers.

Mr. Celeste will discuss what it takes to manage medical product labeling information in a structured content based operating environment. You will learn much more than a standard review of the submissions process. Mr. Celeste will take you through all of the labeling information touch points from every phase of the product development lifecycle. "By encoding these touch points in XML," Mr. Celeste said, "we can accelerate time-to-market, increase quality, and heighten the efficiency of safety metrics." Other discussions of XML and the semantic Web will include emerging standards, improving collaboration, adopting innovation, and succeeding with research & development.

Celeste has held senior management positions with Baxter Healthcare International, C.R. Bard Inc, and Maple Leaf Foods USA. He holds a degree in Engineering from the United States Military Academy at West Point.
