hypios, DERI Galway Seek Semantic Web Intern

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Update: We’ve found our intern (as of 5 April 2010). Thanks to all who applied. We’ll have more details available soon!

We’re pleased to announce that hypios is working with the Digital Enterprise Research Institute’s (DERI) Galway office to provide a unique internship opportunity to those pursuing studies in the Semantic Web.

DERI is among the most significant research bodies in the Semantic Web space; hypios uses technology fueled by Semantic Web research to power its intelligent crowdsourcing platform. Our collaborative internship will last a period of six months.

Interns who join the program (which — yes! — includes compensation) will spend three months in DERI’s offices in Galway, Ireland, engaged in intensive research; the next three months will be spent at hypios headquarters in Paris, France, implementing their learning.

Additional information, including objectives, pay and how to apply, appear below. Feel free to distribute to those you think may be interested:

hypios Welcomes Alexandre Passant; Joins Forces with DERI

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Last week, hypios had the pleasure of welcoming one of the world’s foremost Social Semantic Web researchers: Alexandre Passant.  He’s best known for co-authoring The Social Semantic Web, the most complete reference for the field today, with Stefan Decker and John Breslin, one of the fathers of Social Semantic Web research.  Passant is currently a postdoc researcher at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) in Galway, Ireland, the largest Semantic Web institute in the world.

During Passant’s invited talk (at hypios’ Paris headquarters), we heard about DERI’s latest projects.  In particular, Passant described the Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) project, which aims to model content and content relations generated in various online communities.  Recently, DERI researchers worked on augmenting the basic SIOC so that it can explicitly model collaborative interactions and discussion taking place in various online communities.  If online research collaboration and problem-solving is increasingly prevalent, the sort of information that is shared in these types of interactions will be increasingly valuable.
