   personal_statement: Peter works on scientific information management at the U.S.
     Geological Survey in Reston Virginia. With a formal background in geology and
     oceanography and practical experience in software development, he serves as
     a bridge between the scientific research and information technology communities.Currently,
     Peter's work focuses on providing usable scientific data to the public through
     the internet. Perhaps best known for producing widely used software that parses
     and validates geospatial metadata, Peter more recently led a small team to develop
     controlled vocabularies and used cataloging software to design a topical index
     of scientific information on the web.Websites through which Peter's work is
