Working on the PATHS project that aims to develop novel user-interfaces for accessing digital Cultural Heritage collections.
My work focused on developing an automatic geo-referencing system for historical records. This made it possible to automatically locate historic documents for a given place or area. In addition I developed some sample applications, such as the Domesday on a Map.
My work focused on developing and maintaining the demonstration systems for the Tripod EU project in the run-up to the final review.
I wrote, taught, and examined the “Internet Computing” course that is part of the M.Sc. degree in the School of Computer Science and Informatics.
I part-wrote, taught, and examined an “Introduction to Computers Science” course that is part of the Geographic Information Systems specialisation of the Geography degree at the Alpen-Adria Universität Klagenfurt.
Contract-work to develop an HTML+CSS rendering system.
Employed on the HarmonISA EU project to develop a system for automatically integrating land-use and land-cover data-sets from Austria, Italy, and Slovenia. Documented in my master thesis “A Semantic Similarity Measure for Formal Ontologies” and various publications.
With a colleague we developed an on-line system for digitising historic documents for the History Department.
I was responsible for the introduction, development and maintenance of an on-line course management system.
My PhD focused on developing quantitative models for spatial prepositions. Based on these quantitative models I developed systems for automatically interpreting and generating spatial-language expressions that can be tried out online. The PhD was conducted in the context of the Tripod EU project and is available from the publications, as are a number of papers on various aspects of the work.
Equivalent to a M.Sc. in Computer Science. My specialisation was in Knowledge Engineering and Geographical Information systems, which led to my master thesis “A Semantic Similarity Measure for Formal Ontologies”.
Equivalent to a B.Sc. in Computer Science with a specialisation in Computational Linguistics.
