Leobard's blog

I updated my diploma thesis website, where I offer topics related to the Semantic Desktop as Master Thesis.

http://www.dfki.uni-kl.de/~sauermann/projekte/index.html

this always takes so much time, to write down my ideas and things that will be needed. The next student starts in October with a Thesis, so there are still places open.

here are the current topics. Well, I should add another one for GUI!

• your own idea – “I have an idea for the Semantic Web, its X and Leo, you will like it!” mail me.
• business card annotation– annotating business events
• managing concepts using SKOS – concepts for the masses
• semantic tools – evaluate semantic tools for our future
• semantic search – search inside the semantic desktop (taken by student)
• semantic email – how to annotate emails and how to classify emails. Eat Spam!
• text annotation – using the semantic desktop to annotate documents or write notes about sport events
• metadata integration – integrate information using RDF
• cyberspace in ultima

there is a orf futurezone entry about the i-know conference, that goes more into detail about the work of me and Matteo Bonifacio.

Some of the gnowsis and Semantic Desktop features are mentioned there, great thing to be linked on the fuzo.

And also Matteo, I am always happy to see this guy, he is full of energy and good science.

the conference was a nice place to be!

Dr Sonja Bettel from the austrian radio oe1 was at the i-know conference and wrote an article about it.

There is a radio feature about the conference also, if you are oe1 club member, you can download it.

I was interviewed for this broadcast about the Semantic Desktop, hope to get a copy of the audio soon 🙂
