Postdoctorate Research Assistant
Interests
My research interests reside in Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Management areas. In particular, I am interested in Semantic Web technologies evaluation and their knowledge management applications. I have participated in development of techniques, algorithms and tools for knowledge intensive applications. In particular I developed S-Match, a lightweight ontology matching system and a method for matching systems evaluation.
Biography
In March of 2003 I joined University of Trento Data & Knowledge Management research group as Research Assistant. In November of 2003 I joined Information and Telecommunication Technologies International Doctoral School in Trento where I completed my doctoral research on knowledge management systems and techniques for their large scale evaluation. In March 2008 I defended my PhD dissertation. After short term postdoctoral assignments at University of Trento and University of Rennes I joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford as a Postdoctoral Research Assistant. I am a member of the Information Systems group led by Prof. Georg Gottlob and Prof. Ian Horrocks.

Boris Motik awarded EPSRC Early Career Fellowship
Boris Motik was recently successful in gaining an EPSRC Early Career Fellowship. The 5 year project, MaSI3: A Massively Scalable Intelligent Information Infrastructure, focuses on Ontology-based Data Management Systems (ODMSs). These are a new kind of data management system specifically designed to deal with complex data, by using natural language queries often across multiple relevant sources [more information].
