Research Interests

My research is primarily in interoperability of heterogeneous distributed information systems, especially in the application area of biodiversity informatics. My particular interests include providing a scalable distributed infrastructure for a catalogue of life; understanding how biodiversity data can be shared using appropriate standards and unique identifiers; determining how a problem-solving e-Science environment for biodiversity research can be established; and using constraints and other techniques to assist with semantic interoperation among resources that use species names and ways of describing organisms that differ. This research has been supported by various past and present nationally and internationally funded projects.
