O autorze

Peter Lorkowski's　first choice of profession was becoming　a　surveying engineer.　He　also holds a　master　degree in　geodesy and　geoinformatics and　acquired his　doctoral degree　with a　work on　a software framework for the monitoring of continuous phenomena. He has since worked in the private sector　in　software engineering and also founded a non-profit project　dealing with　the　semantic　organization of knowledge about　sustainability.　Its objective is　to quantify the　socio-ecologic impacts　of　consumption　in the sectors nutrition, housing,　mobility and information and communication technology.
