From December 2004 to November 2010, I worked as a PhD student and
researcher at the Federated Collaborative Networks group (FCN) of the Informatics
Institute (IvI) of the University of Amsterdam (UvA). The main research
theme of this group represents development of: theoretical foundations,
reference models, distributed/federated databases, and information
modeling and management, to support Collaborative Networks. My research &
development activities at the FCN group fell within the following main
areas: View figure.
Collaborative
Networks (CNs)
- Focusing on networks of organizations:
Virtual Organization (VO), VOs Breeding Environment (VBE)
-
Developing information models, databases, and management tools for VBEs
- Specifying
a reference framework and a reference model for VBEs
- Developing
a methodology for instantiation and launching of VBEs in different
domains
Ontologies
- Designing and engineering a
unified ontology for VBEs
- Specifying ontology discovery and
maintenance approaches
- Specifying advanced ontology-based
information management approaches
Competencies and
profiles
- Modelling competencies of network's members
-
Modelling profiles for network's members
- Developing management
approaches for competencies and profiles
Software
applications to manage CNs
- Specifying the VBE management
system
- Developing a tool for ontology management in VBEs
- Developing
a tool for competencies and profiles management
- Implementing
software tools and services using Eclipse, Java, Postgre, TomCat
Establishing a long term strategic CN for biodiversity research
infrastructure

working in the biodiversity related domains in Europe
- Developing
methodologies and tools for establishing a long term strategic CN for
biodiversity domain
