Before COHSE, I worked on a project known as STARCH, funded by an EPSRC ROPA award. The purpose of the project was to investigate building a pilot annotation and cataloguing workbench for archivists, driven by a terminological model of subject content.
I have also recently worked on (and am still closely associated with) the TAMBIS project. Tambis is concerned with providing uniform access to varied bioinformatics information sources, and uses information in a terminological model to coordinate this and build user interfaces. My particular responsibility in Tambis was the construction of these interfaces, and investigating the use of terminological logics in constructing queries. In the past, I've worked with the PAEPR and GALEN projects, and I was loosely associated with GALEN-IN-USE
PAEPR was a joint venture between MIG and the CNC, concerned with formalising the foundations of GRAIL (GALEN's knowledge representation language), and exploiting parallelism within the classification algorithms. Within GALEN I played the role of Concept Man, with responsibility for the maintenance and development of the Concept Module of GALEN's Terminology Server along with the development of GRAIL. Some of my time was spent fiddling around with description logic formalisms while most of the rest involved having my head inside the Smalltalk implementation of our classification engine.
I have a list of available on-line publications some of which relate to the above projects.
