Topics of interest

My research landscape is Knowledge Engineering in a broad sense, but with prime focus on its application on the Semantic Web. In the recent years, I have been particularly interested in and published papers on the following topics (and their combinations):

• Ontology Engineering
• Linked Data Management

My additional (more marginal, or sometimes rather legacy) areas of interest include:

• Knowledge Engineering aspects of Data Mining
• Web content mining
• Business aspects of Semantic Technology
• Computerised Medical Guidelines

In one sentence, most of my research work is devoted to the design and exploitation of knowledge models (typically, with the character of ontologies) capturing high-level knowledge, while empirical analysis of large volumes of (structured, semi-structured or free text) data serves either as provider of support for such models or as their consumer. Most of the topics above (and corresponding papers), as well as my involvement in projects listed below, somehow conform to this constellation. Some of my (still relatively topical) interests and visions were summarised in a talk at the 1st Roadmapping Workshop "Semantics 2029" in September 2008 in Vienna, see the video. The three "visionary" topics covered there are: cost/benefit models of semantic technologies; use of semantics to enhance KDD; overcoming style heterogeneity in ontologies.

My interests are also reflected in the organisation and PC participation of conferences and workshops, and in my Editorial Board membership (Associate Editor from 2020) in the Journal of Web Semantics.

I co-lead the Semantic Web and Ontological Engineering (SWOE) research group at my department, also participate in the Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery (DMKD) group, and convene a weekly KEG research seminar (held since 2002).

I am also member of the organization committee of the Prague Computer Science seminar.

Projects:

• Focused categorization power of web ontologies (FCatPoWO) - a three-year CSF (Czech Science Foundation) project, 2018-2020. I am Principal Investigator of this project, which addresses the newly formulated problem of estimating the categorization power of an ontology expressed as the number of binary options offered for categorization of objects already assigned to a more general focus class. A pre-natal paper of this project is the (award-nominated) one from EKAW 2016, see its pre-print (or the copyedited version at Springer).
• IGA 33/2019: Hybrid modeling of concepts on the semantic web: ontological schemes, codelists and knowledge graphs - a two-year project of UEP's Internal Grant Agency, 2019-2020; my PhD student Viet Bach Nguyen is Principal Investigator of this project involving 3 faculty (including me) and 3 other students.

I am also, more marginally (or the project/activity itself is very lightweight), involved in the following:

• (Page currently in Czech) National AI initiative (I am a fellow thereof), acting as partner to the Czech Government in its AI development strategy.
• Long-haul initiative for transparent data infrastructure in the Czech Republic, with special focus on public administration data. The leaders of the initiative are Martin Nečaský from Charles University and Dušan Chlapek from UEP, Dept. of Information Technology. I occasional serve as technological expert and mediate research contacts to foreign institutes.
• ODP portal - OntologyDesignPatterns.org, maintained by STLab, Rome; I am member of its Quality Committee.

Important past projects - EU-funded:

• H2020 EU 645833 - OpenBudgets.eu: Financial Transparency Platform for the Public Sector. I was UEP's Participant Contact and Scientific Representative in this 2.5-year EU Horizon2020 project (2015-2017). Our group focused on budget/spending data model design (WP1, as leader) and on data analytics (WP2).
• : Creating Knowledge out of Interlinked Data. I was UEP's Participant Contact and Scientific Representative in this 4-year EU FP7 Integrated project. Our group focused on the technology of Knowledge Repair and Enrichment and on the use case in Public Contracts Linked Data (leader of the respective use case workpackage WP9a).
• : Television Linked to the Web. I was UEP's Participant Contact in this 3.5-year EU FP7 Integrated project. (The Scientific Representative was Tomáš Kliegr.)
• K-Space (IST Network of Excellence, 2006-2008, coordinated by Queen Mary College, University of London), focusing on the semantics of multimedia. I was local contact person for the project. Our group was involved in multimedia ontology design, complementary textual resource analysis, semantic repository querying and similarity-based image retrieval. I was also the Editor-in-Chief of the 6-monthly K-Space Newsletter.
• MedIEQ - Quality Labeling of Medical Web Content using Multilingual Information Extraction (EU STREP, Public Health Programme, 2006-2008, coordinated by NCSR, Greece), focusing on support of medical web quality labelling agencies. I was local contact person for the project. Our group was involved in web information extraction (in particular, the Ex information extraction tool was evolving together with this project)
• PetaMedia: P2P Tagged Media. EU FP7 Network of Excellence; UEP was ad hoc partner w/o direct funding; primarily co-operation with QMUL MMV Group on mining from text complementary to multimedia (main contact at UEP was Tomáš Kliegr).
• Knowledge Web - IST-2004-507482, 'Realizing the Semantic Web'. I was local contact person at my institute (non-funded partner). Our group was involved in WP2.2: Heterogeneity (see the OntoFarm project) and WP2.4: Semantic Web Services (see the Rainbow project).
• M-CAST - Multilingual Content Aggregation System based on TRUST Search Engine (eContent Project #22 249, coordinated by Infovide, Poland). I was local Team Manager for the project.
• Medical Guideline Technology (MGT): 1998-2001, EC Fourth Framework Programme. The work of our group (headed by R.Jirousek) was concentrated on mark-up based transformation of textual guidelines into a computational form, and on guideline critiquing with the help of probabilistic models.
• OntoWeb - IST-2000-29243, 'Ontology-based information exchange for knowledge management and electronic commerce'. I was local contact person at my institute, and participated in the discussions at SIG2 and SIG5.

Important past (or sleeping) projects - other:

• : Automation of Ontology Pattern Detection and Exploitation - a three-year CSF (Czech Science Foundation) project, 2010-2012, successfully concluded; I was Principal Investigator of this project.
• Web Semantization - a three-year CSF project, 2010-2012, successfully concluded; I was Co-Investigator of this project, which was co-ordiated by P. Vojtáš (Charles University, Prague). The main focus of our group was in ontology matching, preference learning and lifting eCommerce data to the level of semantic descriptions.
• IGA F4/28/2016: Using automated alignment and linguistic transformation in generating semantic data vocabularies - a one-year project of UEP's Internal Grant Agency, 2016; my PhD student Marek Dudáš was Principal Investigator of this project involving 3 faculty (including me) and 2 other students. The project followed up with two previous Marek's project mentioned below, F4/90/2015 and IGA F4/34/2014.
• IGA F4/90/2015: Generation of style variants of semantic data schemas using generalized data visualization - a one-year project of UEP's Internal Grant Agency, 2015; my PhD student Marek Dudáš was Principal Investigator of this project involving 4 faculty (including me) and 3 other students.
