* Project FolkPeers – Folksonomies in P2P Systems* * Research Scholarship * Applications for Research Scholarships in project FolkPeers – Folksonomies in P2P Systems are now open. The goal of the FolkPeers project is to develop a user-oriented social content management application, in the area of ontologies. In particular, the project aims to develop an ontology library (using P2P technology) that allows users to store, share, search, organize, discover, and classify ontologies. Each researcher will work on one of the following tasks: * building a P2P ontology library - we will investigate how to build an ontology library on top of a P2P system, allowing for sharing and searching of ontologies. Ontologies can also be tagged either by their creators, people who share it, users. * tag suggestion for ontologies - we will investigate how to suggest appropriate tags for an ontology that is going to be made available in an ontology library * context navigation and search in ontology libraries - we will investigate how to keep track of the context of a search query for given resource in a social content management system. For instance, users searching in Flickr, often loose track of the initial query and have do multiple backs to explore another possible branch. * relation analysis in social tagging systems - we will investigate whether the forms of relationship vary according to the social content management system, Flickr, Utube, Hi5, Digg, Facebook, Bibsonomy, Del.icio.us, etc. * improving search engines with knowledge. Each scholarship has a duration of 6 months, beginning on the 1 st of January, 2010 and can be extended. All work will take place at the INESC-ID research facilities. The FolkPeers project is supervised by professor Helena Sofia Pinto, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Engineering of the Instituto Superior Tecnico (main researcher), and professor Pavel Calado, assistant professor at the Department of Computer Engineering of the Instituto Superior Tecnico (researcher). Applicants should have B.Sc. or M.Sc. in the area of Computer Science and Engineering. Individuals with good knowledge in P2P systems and/or ontologies and with good programming skills will be appraised. Additionally, candidates should have personal motivation, initiative, autonomy, and ability to work within a team. Applications are open until the 15th of December, 2010. Applicants should send their questions, Curriculum vitae and/or a declaration of interest in the position to: Professor Helena Sofia Pinto INESC-ID Av.
