Research Assistant, 08/2004

As a research assistant for GeoVISTA Center, I have worked on various projects in different capacities ranging from developing a conceptual theory to implementation of specific code in java. The main topic of my research within GeoVISTA Center has been concerned with knowledge representation, espeically situated knowledge, using OWL. Another focus is how to connect knowledge representation tools with data visualization tools and internet resources. Finally, I am also looking into aspects of how to use knowledge representation for the advancement of academic resources and learning tutorials
