Graham Glass, founder of successful software companies, supporter of Web services and service-oriented architectures, and former chief technology officer at webMethods Inc., has announced his resignation from the business integration software vendor.

Glass, who joined Fairfax, Va.-based webMethods when the company acquired Glass’ previous venture, The Mind Electric Inc. (TME), in October of 2003, said he is leaving webMethods to form a start-up focusing on the education market.

Glass said he resigned “to pursue other interests.” According to his Web log, those interests are: “Specifically, I’ve decided to start a new company focused on education.”

Glass said he’s always been a teacher at heart and he is just going back to what he has long wanted to do.

“After many years of working on enterprise software, I’ve decided to get back to my training roots and start a fourth and as-yet unnamed product company focused on improving the education system,” he said. “Although the product itself will be an easy-to-use Web-based application targeted at K-12 students, teachers and parents, the underlying software infrastructure will be quite complex and utilize many concepts from the semantic Web.”
