introduction Webont from herman.ter.horst@philips.com on 2001-11-12 (www-webont-wg@w3.org from November 2001) (original) (raw)

I am a senior scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven.

I will serve as principal member for Philips of the Webont Working Group.

Before I joined Philips in 1985, I studied chemistry, published research papers in mathematics, and obtained my Ph.D. for research on mathematical/theoretical aspects of thermodynamics.

At Philips I turned to AI, and developed systems that are being used to exploit qualitative, causal knowledge for the diagnosis of manufacturing processes. In addition to the area of knowledge representation and reasoning, I also have experience in the area of data modeling and the development of database applications.

We investigate the use of knowledge representation and Semantic Web technology in the development of media-related systems that know about the context of use and that can adapt to this context.

Best regards,

Herman ter Horst
