RESEARCH
INTERESTS
Generally,
I am interested in developing novel software solutions for assisting
humans to effectively manage and intelligently use large amounts of
data which are often heterogeneous, distributed, and
autonomous. Specifically, I am interested in the problem of
discovering, capturing, and representing semantics of data in open and
dynamic information systems. Solutions to this problem so far include
the development of tools for helping users to discover meanings of
legacy data and framework for better capturing semantics for
database-resident data. I developed the MAPONTO
semantic mapping tool in the past. Some current projects can be viewed here.
The current approaches I am interested in span techniques in
conceptual modeling, information extraction and retrieval, and data
management. The following is a list of topics within the scope of my
interests.
