An integrative and distributed data management and workflow framework for e-research in biomedical imaging. This project will develop new tools for neuroimaging research: (i) efficient distributed infrastructure and workflow capabilities and (ii) semantic tools using existing ontological frameworks and specific neuroimaging ontologies.
These new capabilities will significantly enhance the productivity of neuroimaging research.
QualA-D: a quality aware query engine for next generation data integration systems. This project will address the growing diversity of the web/user community by developing new approaches for data integration that incorporate data quality requirements such as data currency, completeness and coverage. First-of-breed quality aware query system is expected to be developed that will assist in improving user experience and satisfaction.
A framework for scalable ontology enrichment and change. This project aims to develop novel techniques and software systems for constructing a new generation of knowledge management applications. The results will improve current information management technologies and will be used in practical applications such as the semantic web, bioinformatics and e-sciences.
Digital noticeboards for remote Aboriginal communities: bringing web 2.0 participation to non-western cultures with low English and technical literacy. Remote Aboriginal communities suffer from geographic and cultural isolation. Web 2.0 offers a solution yet is ill-suited to traditional collective cultures, those with low English and technical literacy, and the poor. This project will produce novel public web-enabled touchscreen noticeboards and table tops suited to traditional cultures.
