| Bio | I am a Web Science PhD candidate supervised by Dr. Nick Gibbins, Dame Prof. Wendy Hall and Prof. Nigel Shadbolt. I am currently working on the EPSRC funded EnAkting project. I am the founder of the iamResearcher.com - the global researcher network. iamResearcher is a platform that breaks the boundary of research fields and connects researchers in a unique network to collaborate. One of the new concepts introduced by iamResearcher.com is that we enable the user to make links not only between people (e.g. making friends on traditional social network) but also between data, therefore, a social network + web of data. When user sign up on the website, they establish colleagueship as well as linking to the data which they have already created online, for instance, researcher can set up a profile by linking to their publications, slides with few clicks. For part of my PhD, I also devloped a Linked Data Validator called Hyperthing (www.hyperthing.org), which can tell you if your request URI link to a webpage (like it always do on the traditional web) or identifies a real world object (e.g. a person) on the Semantic Web. |
