About Me
I am a PhD student in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, and I am a DReaMer.
Ontology evolution is an important research problem for all systems of autonomous reasoning agents. In order for accurate and meaningful communication, the discrepancy between the potentially different conceptualisations and representations of knowledge must be resolved. To narrow down the focus of my current research, I look at examples of ontology evolution in the domain of physics.
