Jimmy Wales

Jimmy Donald Wales (Huntsville, USA) is an American internet entrepreneur, best known to the public as the co-founder, in 2001, of the free Wikipedia project. Currently, he is a member of the board of trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation and is one of the founders of Wikia, a privately owned free website hosting service created in 2004. Along with Larry Sanger, Wales helped popularize the trend in web development that aims to facilitate creativity, education, and free access to human knowledge through shared collaboration among users. With the product of his work with Wikipedia, which became the world's largest encyclopedia, Time magazine listed Wales as one of the most influential people in the world in 2009. In 2009, Wales ranked third on the Agenda Setters 2009 list, where the Silicon.com website selects the 50 most influential individuals in the technology world. That same year he received an award from the Nokia Foundation for his contributions to the evolution of the World Wide Web as a truly democratic and participatory platform. On May 9, 2010, amidst the controversy generated by his involvement in the Commons project regarding the removal of pornographic images, Jimmy Wales relinquished the executive privileges of his Wikipedia founder status, retaining those related to viewing edits, so that the discussion about his status would not interfere with the ongoing debate about editorial content.

Hello, I'm Alexander Rodrigues Silva, SEO specialist and author of the book "Semantic SEO: Semantic Workflow". I've worked in the digital world for over two decades, focusing on website optimization since 2009. My choices have led me to delve into the intersection between user experience and content marketing strategies, always with a focus on increasing organic traffic in the long term. My research and specialization focus on Semantic SEO, where I investigate and apply semantics and connected data to website optimization. It's a fascinating field that allows me to combine my background in advertising with library science. In my second degree, in Library and Information Science, I seek to expand my knowledge in Indexing, Classification, and Categorization of Information, seeing an intrinsic connection and great application of these concepts to SEO work. I have been researching and connecting Library Science tools (such as Domain Analysis, Controlled Vocabulary, Taxonomies, and Ontologies) with new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and Large-Scale Language Models (LLMs), exploring everything from Knowledge Graphs to the role of autonomous agents. In my role as an SEO consultant, I seek to bring a new perspective to optimization, integrating a long-term vision, content engineering, and the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence. For me, SEO work is a strategy that needs to be aligned with your business objectives, but it requires a deep understanding of how search engines work and an ability to understand search results.
