Research Topics

I am interested in the problem of Information Integration on the Semantic Web. For this purpose, I am investiganting probabilistic languages that can represent uncertain mappings between ontologies in the prevalent Semantic Web languages OWL, RDF and logic programming derivates which are envisioned for the Semantic Web.

Further information available on my homepage.
