Research Interests

I am interested in scientific metadata and data management and integration using declarative knowledge representation (ontology), reasoning, and related Semantic Web technologies. I also work on query optimization techniques, for example using materialized views, for queries with both high expression complexity and data complexity.
I have special interest in provenance metadata management in scientific applications. we have developed a provenance management framework with foundational model of provenance, specialized query operators, and implemented a scalable query engine for provenance analysis with a new class of materialized views based on domain semantics.

Current Projects

Provenance Management Framework

Provenance is critical metadata to interpret scientific results, validate experimental processes, and associate trust values.
We have defined an end-to-end framework, underpinned by a novel provenance algebra, addressing three important aspects of provenance management:

  • Provenance Representation: An upper-level ontology for representation of provenance information called provenir.
  • Provenance Analysis: A set of provenance query operators has been defined based on a systematic classification of provenance queries. The provenance classification scheme has been proposed for the first time in provenance research.
  • Scalable Query Infrastructure: A provenance query engine has been implemented to support the provenance query operators over a RDF data store. The query engine uses a new class of materialized views called Materialized Provenance View (MPV), for optimizing performance of complex queries over large datasets.

Semantics and Services enabled Problem Solving Environment for T.cruzi

Aim: develop and deploy a novel ontology-driven problem-solving environment for T.cruzi.
