Abstract:

The advent of social markup languages and lightweight public data access methods has created an opportunity to share the social, documentary and system information locked in most servers as a mashup.  Whereas solutions already exists for creating and managing mashups from network sources, we propose here a mashup framework whose primary information sources are the applications and user files of a server.  This enables us to use server legacy data sources that are already maintained as part of basic administration to semantically link user documents and accounts using social web constructs.

I have taken on a new posting in the Programming Languages Lab in the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science at the University of Waterloo. I'll be working on IR projects with Professor Charlie Clarke and on the Muninn Project.
