Projects

Current

As a postdoctoral researcher at , the Digital Enterprise Research Institute at the National University of Ireland, Galway, I'm currently mainly running two EC projects and participate in several W3C activities:

... we are currently kicking off iMP, a FP7 EC project focusing on multimedia media semantics in the digital cinema workflow (since early 2009).

... together with Giovanni Tummarello I manage the FP7 project dealing with domain-driven design and mashup-oriented development based on an open source Java meta-framework (since end of 2008).

... I'm a member of the W3C Media Fragments Working Group (since 09/2008).

... I'm a member of the W3C RDB2RDF Incubator Group (since 03/2008).

... via the W3C Semantic Web Deployment Working Group I'm a member of the RDF in XHTML Task Force (since 10/2006).

... I initiated pushback/RDForms, a community project enabling the read-write Web of Data (03/2009).

... I help shaping voiD, the Vocabulary Of Interlinked Datasets, supporting the discovery and usage of linked data set (since mid 2008).

... I also blog about Web Of Data, linked data and RDFa over at .

Past

As a senior researcher at the Institute of Information Systems & Information Management (IIS) I was involved in all kind of activities:

... I was the project leader of the Understanding Advertising (UAd) project (2007/2008).

... as one project partner in the Together Anywhere, Together Anytime (TA2) project I co-ordinated the Institute's work (till end of 2008).

... the IIS participated in the K-Space project where I contributed regarding VAMP (2006 - 2008).

... I was the scientific lead of the new millennium, new media (NM2) project (2004 - 2007).

... I initiated the initiative (2007).

... I am one of the three founding members of (2007)

... I was a member of the W3C Multimedia Semantics Incubator Group (2006/2007).

Hacking

In the realm of our projects and also in my spare time I like to hack around a bit; be it as a proof-of-concept or simple for fun:

... ubiquity - a collection of commands for the web of data (currently: Sindice, DBpedia and curl)

... RSS2RDFa - converts RSS 1.0 feeds into an XHTML+RDFa representation

... LDE, the linked datasets explorer

... ve, the voiD editor

... CaMiCatzee - the multimedia data interlinking concept demonstrator

... rdf-o-meter, a util that allows gauging Semantic Web content embedded in (X)HTML pages such as RDFa, eRDF, microformats

... i r s, a generic linked-data editor with RDFa export (see also announcement)

... mle, the mailing list explorer.

... Ask SID!, a social (or semantic ID generator).

... a RDFiser showcase for flickr's machine tags, called PSIMeter.

... FOAFr, a tool to convert FOAF-RDF/XML docs into HTML+RDFa docs.

... VAMP, the semantic VAlidation service for MPEG-7 Profiles Descriptions.

... finally, I also maintain JRS Semantic Web Utils, our jump-start for Semantic Web engineers.

Michael's PhD: "Building Scaleable and Smart Multimedia Applications on the Semantic Web"

Abstract

The Semantic Web has become reality over the past couple of years. While certain practical topics - such as interoperability, etc. - have at least partially been addressed, scalability and expressivity issues regarding the utilisation of multimedia metadata on the Semantic Web are still widely neglected. However, existing Web (2.0) applications handling millions of multimedia assets are starting to take advantage of Semantic Web technologies.

This work contributes to design decisions regarding scalable and smart multimedia applications on the Semantic Web. Based on an analysis of practical issues - stemming from diverse projects and activities the author has participated in over the past four years - three areas have been identified, namely (i) performance and scalability issues on the data access level, (ii) the effective and efficient representation of multimedia content descriptions, and (iii) the deployment of multimedia metadata on the Semantic Web. The three research areas have as its common base the trade-off between expressivity and scalability.

We present our findings regarding scalable, yet expressive Semantic Web multimedia applications in a number of practical settings and discuss future directions, such as "interlinking multimedia".

Talks, Tutorials, Conferences, and Workshops

[ANNOUNCEMENT] SemTech 2009

At the SemTech09, Alexandre Passant and I will give again the tutorial, 'Hello Open World - The Web of Data for the Pragmatic Developer' on Monday, June 15, 2009 from 08:30am-12:00pm.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] ESWC 2009

We invite people to participate in the ESWC workshop SPOT2009 on 'Trust and Privacy on the Social and Semantic Web'. We received a lot of papers and demos and currently reviewing it.

Further, Martin Hepp and I will give a full-day tutorial, The Web of Data for E-Commerce in One Day: A Hands-on Introduction to the GoodRelations Ontology, RDFa, and Yahoo! SearchMonkey on May 31, 2009 (details to follow).

Finally, I will co-ordinate the Lightning Talks at ESWC09.

2009-04-20 to 2009-04-24

On Monday, 20 April Alexandre Passant and I gave the first edition of the Hello Open World - The Web of Data for the Pragmatic Developer tutorial at WWW09.

As well on Monday, we presented three papers at the LDOW09: one which would be presented by Raphael Troncy (Interlinking Multimedia), one done by Giovanni Tummarello (DING! Dataset Ranking using Formal Descriptions), and finally the one on voiD, presented by myself.

On Wednesday, 22 April there was the official opening and then we had a Birds of a Feather (BOF) meeting on a Research Agenda For Linked Data yielding a TOP10 list of research issues as well as a proposal for LOD intra-community liaison officers.

On Friday, 24 April we had a great time at the W3C Social Web Camp, incl. microblogging discussions and good progress on 'enabling a read-write Web of Data' with Oshani Seneviratne and Tim Berners-Lee.

2009-03-05

The 7th International Semantic Web Conference, Karlsruhe, Germany (ISWC08) was just great and very busy for me: a workshop paper at the Social Data on the Web workshop SDoW08, nice lightning talks (see also video captures) and two tutorials:

On the first day (26 Oct) I gave the RDFa - Bridging the Web of Documents and the Web of Data tutorial (see also video captures) and on the second day (27 Oct), together with Chris Bizer, Tom Heath, Richard Cyganiak and Olaf Hartig the How to Publish Linked Data on the Web tutorial, again see also video captures. They also had a nice idea to support discussions: a dedicated social network.

2008-10-22 and 2008-10-23

So, we had a very successful first Web of Data Practitioners Days (WOD-PD08) in Vienna, Austria with over 40 participants from all over Europe.
