Research

SWeMPs: A Semantic Web enabled Multimedia Presentation service

Semantic Web Spaces

Research Interests

My PhD dissertation on SWeMPs is online

I have a continued interest in the area of multimedia semantics and presentation of Web data

Related to this, I'm interested in real life practical uses of semantics in data to gain added value for daily life. In that field, there is the ExpertFinder initiative.

Finally, I want to know how the Semantic Web can change the world, or at least make it a better place :-)
