Re: Problems and Suggestions on Semantic Web for my MSc. thesis

Dear Ahmed,

I think you indeed hit an important aspect - how do we as a community
identify promising research topics and reduce duplicate work. We are
currently starting to set up a bachelor, lab and master topics database
for the students in Bonn [1], which we aim to publish via the Exhibit
faceted browser soon and which you can also check for some inspiration.

I guess its always good to choose a topic related to an open-source
software project, where you have a small community around to help. We
for example (co-)develop the OpenCourseWare authoring platform SlideWiki
(http://slidewiki.org), LinkedGeoData.org, DBpedia.org, the semantic
data wiki OntoWiki (http://ontowiki.net) and there are many other great
semantic web open-souce projects as well.

Best,

Sören
