Dr Philippe Martin

Project leader and senior researcher
    with over 14 years experience in ontologies and knowledge engineering, sharing and retrieval
    and also expert in Semantic Web, semantic wikis and Web services.


Summary of some achievements:
- 3 complementary knowledge modelling/sharing/retrieval tools (over 100,000 lines of source code
   in C++/Lex/Yacc/Javascript, plus re-used libraries) and underlying techniques, currently the most
   advanced of their kind for exploiting structured/Web documents or supporting asynchronous
   cooperation between users; the last two tools won "Asia-Pacific Oracle Queensland IT&T"
   awards for excellence;
- other software developments for 6 software companies;
- one general multi-source ontology (semantic dictionary of over 100,000 categories)
   voted as candidate material for a standard by the IEEE P1600.1 SUO group;
- 3 knowledge representation notations (Formalized-English, Frame-CGs, For-Links) that are
   more readable, normalizing and (generally more) expressive than other current formal notations;
- about 30 refereed research publications as sole or main author;
- co-writer of one of the four source materials for the Ontology Definition Metamodel of the
   Object Management Group (OMG).

Main interest: apply my expertise via consultancies or software/ontology developments to improve
    information update and retrieval by people (employees, clients, etc.) or software agents within
    information repositories (hence normalised semantic networks, not simply bases of documents)
    for example to support better enterprise memories, catalogues for yellow-pages or auction sites,
    tourism-related Web sites, or learning resources (I applied my last tool to these last 3 cases).
    I am geographically mobile.
