Recent projects

• OP4L - Online Presence for Learning (2010-2012)
  

A 2-year international project, funded by the European Commission within its SEE-ERA.NET PLUS program (project ERA 115/01), with the objective to provide support for advanced, context-aware Learning Process Management (LPM) within Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) as the increasingly important paradigm in online education. The project relies on using Social Semantic Web technologies to generate recommendations for learners, based on their current learning contexts and the state of online presence of members of their social graphs (i.e., network of online connections).

• Expert Finding on Linked Data

As a part of my PhD thesis I am working on good ways to search for experts on Linked Data. As opposed to legacy approaches that took only one expertise hypothesis (assumtpion about what does it take to be an expert), I try to levarage the flexibility and multiple purposes of Linked Data to allow a more sophisticated approach.

• Smiley Ontology

People use emoticons every day as the easiest and most interesting way to express their emotions, actions and affective states. But the exchange of emoticons across different systems is limited. Smiley Ontology is an ontology that aims to enable interchange of emoticons between different systems, without any loose of its semantics, and to enable the capture of semantics of emotions and emotional states that can be found in smileys.

• Online Presence

The project is aimed at enabling the integration and exchange of data related to a user’s presence in the online world. As opposed to static user profiles and the interoperability in that domain, well supported by the FOAF Vocabulary, the Online Presence project targets the interoperability of dynamic properties that determine a user’s current state of presence (e.g., custom messages, IM statuses etc.).
