My current interests are: Distributed Information Syndication and Contexts for the Semantic Web, dynamic schema evolution in structured data, information visualisation, ontology based knowledge management, reputation based ranking in collaborative online communities, and last but not least the Semantic GeoSpatial Web. Since 2005 I have the unique opportunity to apply and implement my research in large-scale information management projects in international cultural heritage institutions and the private sector in Manhattan, New York..
Professional WorkI had the pleasure to work with Prof Stefan Decker in the Semantic Web Cluster of the Digital Enterprise Research Institute [DERI] [http://www.deri.org] on metadata management and query answering in distributed databases. DERI is an outstanding Semantic Web research group located at NUI Galway and operated in collaboration with Hewlett-Packard, DERI Seoul and Stanford University, Science Foundation and Enterprise Ireland. From 2001 to 2004 I worked as the Senior Researcher for an Enterprise Ireland [link] Informatics Research Initiative project: "Location Based Services (LBS) for distributed web based cultural heritage data". Beside the overall design and implementation of a LBS prototype, I investigated new spatio-temporal data models and made contributions to the emerging Semantic GeoSpatial Web. From 1995 to 1999 I carried out research and development in the field of interactive multimedia web-based training for european higher education - Information Society Technologies (IST) - E-Learning project in the ZDM [Computer Science Institute, Freie Universität Berlin]. Project Code: European Commission Telematics Application Programme DGXIII C/E Project EuroMET (Budget ECU 2.841 Mio.) — In 1995 the project was one of the first research inititives to successfully apply dynamic XML taxonomy generation and maintenance for content management in web-based environments and is Winner of the European Academic Software Award 1998. In the years 1993-1995 I acquired certificates in Information Visualisation, GIS and Digital Cartography, Prof Freitag. In addition I worked on academic and commercial multimedia productions, e.g. [Terra3D] very large database visualisation of complex weather systems (Société Européenne des Satellites) for the World's Fair EXPO2000 in Hannover. Furthermore in production for BMW [BMW AG], and software presentation for MAN [MAN AG] and German Aerospace Center [DLR] Web Portal development: eGovernment, Socially Integrative City, CITY 2030 for the German Institute of Urban Affairs (DIFU) and JUNGLE-EUROPA.DE, a Community Web Portal to support the integration of youth in Europe, directed by the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence for European Integration at the [Freie Universität Berlin]. In 2000 I designed dynamic interactive museum presentations for the multimedia exhibition "Vortices in Nature" [Natural History Museum Berlin] From January 1997 I worked as Head of Web Development and Systems Architect for the German Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Web Portal of the "National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Centre" [NRZ] Database. In November 1998 I initiated under the supervision of Christian Zick the planning and realisation of online live streaming of University Lectures, the opening lecture "University and Mass Media" held by Umberto Eco. The development is part of a distance-learning environment with real-time and on demand online digital video at the Freie Universität Berlin.
