An invited talk by Prof.Carole Goble on Google Video



In a recent meeting with Prof. Carole Goble we discovered, that in her keynotes, she's using a screenshot (around minute 12) coming from the prototype of the SWAN (Semantic Web Applications in Neuromedicine) application. Which is the project I am working on now for Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.

Carole Goble
is a Professor in the School of Computer Science. She is co-leader of the Information Management Group. She has a leading role in the Semantic Web, e-Science and the Semantic Grid. She applies technical advances in knowledge technologies and workflow systems to solve information management problems for Life Scientists and other scientific disciplines. She was co-PC chair of WWW2006 and is an EIC of the Elsevier’s Journal of Web Semantics.

She is the director of the large UK e-Science my Grid/Taverna programme of work for workflow based middleware for Life Scientists (http://www.mygrid.org.uk). My Grid uses semantic technologies for service and workflow discover and metadata management of workflow-based experiments. My Grid is now part of the Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute UK (http://www.omii.ac.uk); Carole is the chair of this Institute (of 40+ software developers), which has been funded to harden and support developments from the UK’s e-Science programme. She is the co-chair of the Open Grid Forum Semantic Grid Research Group, and the Technical Director of the EU Strep OntoGrid (http://www.ontogrid.net), which has developed the Semantic-Open Grid Service Architecture (S-OGSA) framework for Semantic Grids.
