Congratulations on your graduation Doctor Dan Wu
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION
Dan Wu was working as a web application developer in Stockholm but wanted to work with research. She got a position as PhD student in Information and Communication Technology at KTH and started her research in ontology integration. Now she has defended her PhD thesis "Context Knowledge Base for Ontology Integration".
Where are you from and where did you study before coming to KTH?
– I am from China. I was working at SIPRI in Stockholm as a web application developer before I started my doctoral studies.
What is your topic and why did you choose it?
– My topic is about the ontology integration. I like my topic and it is very useful for data analysis on distributed systems e.g. the Web.
Describe your topic in short.
– With ontologies, things can be represented in classes and relations. When different ontologies are integrated, it is important to consider the context to be able to integrate them correctly. Furthermore, advanced applications and services can be developed on the integrated ontologies.
Tell me something about your results.
– A method of developing a context knowledge base is proposed to help to integrated heterogeneous ontologies. The context knowledge base is built by integrating ontologies in a repository. With the context knowledge base, contextual information such as the views of the ontology authors and the common knowledge as well as the different perspectives of terms in a domain can be constructed. The context knowledge base can improve the semantic and the pragmatic ontology integration.
What will the future bring for your research topic?
– The research area is developing very fast e.g. for the Semantic Web, system and knowledge integration.
What are your future plans?
– To continue to work or do research in the area. I will stay in Sweden, with high possibility.
