Steve DeRose was Chief Scientist at the Scholarly Technology Group from 1998 to 2001. He conducted research concerning digital libraries, cataloging and metadata, advanced markup systems (for non-hierarchical and self-concurrent information structures, for example), and related topics. He also held an Adjunct Associate Professorship in Brown University's Department of Computer Science (1998-2001).

Steve has worked extensively on standards for document representation, most recently on the Open eBook Publication Structure specification and World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards related to the eXtensible Markup Language (XML). He was a charter member of the consortium's XML Coordination Group and is co-editor of the specifications being developed by the XML Linking Working Group: XPath, XPointer, and XLink.

After receiving his Ph.D. in computational linguistics from Brown University in 1989, Steve went on to co-found Electronic Book Technologies. He designed and built DynaText, DynaWeb, and other products widely used for delivery of electronic documentation.
