Bernhard Haslhofer, Cornell University
Bernhard Haslhofer is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Information Science Department at Cornell University. He is currently investigating how scholarly practices could benefit from the Web of Data.
Bernhard's research interests lie in the area of Data Web technologies, data quality in open environments, and novel interaction mechanisms between users and data from openly accessible Web sources. He has contributed to the Linking Open Data project from its very beginning and also works with the Open Annotation Collaboration (OAC) on a Web and resource-centric model for scholarly annotations on multimedia objects. Previously, during his PhD work at the University of Vienna, he specialized on the problem of metadata interoperability and developed a mapping technique for heterogeneous resource descriptions in the Web of Data. Bernhard is involved in several national and EU projects, such as the European Library project "Europeana". He received an EU Marie Curie International Outgoing Fellowship for conducting his research at Cornell University and the University of Vienna.
