The position offered is "Researcher on Temporal Context of Information" ref.: eniraf-wp10 Application deadline: November 30, 2006 Job starting date: February 1, 2007 Contract period: 3 months More details on The Researchers’ Mobility Portal: http://europa.eu.int/eracareers/index_en.cfm?l1=1&l2=1&l3=1&IdJob=13983061 Department of Management Information Systems at Poznan University of Economics, Poland is looking for a senior researcher for a 3-months stay. The researcher will be funded by FP6 Marie Curie Host Fellowship for the Transfer of Knowledge under the project ENIRAF – Enhanced Information Retrieval and Filtering for Analytical Systems (http://eniraf.mis.ae.poznan.pl/). Focus of the research in this project is on ontologies, web services and the Semantic Web for information filtering. The goal of this three-month position is to introduce into enIRaF framework the temporal context of information. Inspired by a time dimension in a data warehouse our team has already proposed the solution for extracting temporal references from business news (eDW - enhanced Data Warehouse project). Business documents were then related to a data warehouse report by time and semantic similarity measure. The objective of WP10 is then to review our approach and extend it with improved representation of pieces of information and matching them to analytical systems contents by utilizing ontologies. A successful candidate should be familiar with time-modelling issues in information systems, e.g. time ontologies, modal logic, temporal logic, temporal databases. The question is not how to represent time in ontology but how to represent ontology in time. The subject that is nowadays crucial for representing information extracted from text is ontology evolution. Another subject that needs investigation is reasoning with time and to what extent it is possible with information extracted from the Web. We see great potential in time-context aware analysis of information. The researcher will have the opportunity to co-operate with team implementing TOWL: Time-determined Ontology based knowledge system for real time stock market analysis, a 6FP EU funded project (http://www.towl.org). In order to conform to the overall enIRaF project’s objectives the results of this work package should contribute to enhanced information filtering techniques. The incoming researcher, together with the co-operating team, will prepare a publication in a recognized journal or at least a chapter in an edited book, to show the results of the project. The focus is on collaboration and transfer of knowledge, which includes preparation of workshops for faculty and lectures for students. To be eligible for this action you have to be a senior researcher, i.e. to have at least 10 years of research experience since gaining a university diploma.
