Galway, ISWC 2005

I have been a member of the School of Computing at Newcastle since Sept 2005. I am also Dean of Postgraduate Research for the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering.

My research covers a variety of different areas; mostly it focuses on the use of ontological technology in biology, or more generally mechanisms for presenting and publishing scientific information. I am currently developing Tawny-OWL, a library which allows fully programmatic development of ontologies. Development and application of this library is covered in my journal.

I also developed the idea of the Knowledge Blog which has been supported by Ontogenesis Network, and has resulted in the start of a Ontology Encyclopedia. Part of this work recently appeared on the Guardian science blogs. You can read many of my papers and current research in my journal.

Previously, I have worked on a wide variety of projects, including ONDEX which is a data integration framework for systems biology, and the CARMEN project, which is providing support for the sharing and resuse of neurosciences data and early projects such as myGrid and ComparaGRID.
