development ongoing. Demo ISWC 2009, ISWC 2010 : 2008-2011 knowledge support Semantic Browsing of Biomedical Literature with focus on (C. Thomas, R. Kavuluru). Near production quality tool deployed at Air Force Research Lab’s Human Performance Directorate for biologists doing research in human performance and cognition. VideoAnywhere, Taalee Semantic Search Engine, Taalee MediaAnywhere, Voquette SCORE, Semagix FREEDOM: 1998-2006 In an industry funded project, VideoAnywhere set out to become a based manager of videos on local systems, interactive TV and broadband/Web (Clemens Bertram). In Java-based implementation, semantic technology (domain model associated metadata) was the key differentiator. As broadband content on grew, we developed MediaAnywhere, a semantic-faceted search engine which exploited domain specific ontologies with automatically aggregated background knowledge and disambiguated (somewhat similarly to GKB) with automatic semantic Licensed to found VC funded Taalee (1999). We initially developed the Faceted Semantic Search Engine for broadband content on Web during Example customers: , ). Upon merger with Voquette (2002), we developed SCORE, a semantic web application development platform and digital content delivery platform Also developed apps like Passenger Threat Product/System papers: , Application papers: , , Presentations: , , (Probably the keynotes on SW and also on commercial SW products and/or services.)
annotation of textual and media content. Search was followed by semantic browsing, connecting the dots and more focused application build over semantic technology. More details: , Taalee was the first VC funded software/internet company in Athens and surrounding region, and paid $6+ million in payroll and other direct economic activities in the economy of Athens, GA before the company was acquired and moved to Atlanta, GA. Assessment; customers include a pharmaceutical company and NASA). Upon merger with Semagix (2004), we develop FREEDOM, and focused on selling vertical industry applications, with biggest success in deploying Know Your Customer (KYC) in a majority of top 30 financial institutions. I left Semagix after its acquisition by Fortent in 2006; it is now Actimize: some original Taalee employees and apps like KYC were still employees as of 2012. Roles: Taalee: Founder, COB, CEO; Voquette: Exec.VP; Semagix: SrVP-all R&D, later Chief Scientist. ASEMR: 2005-Present Active Semantic Electronic Medical Record (ASEMR) ASEMR was deployed at Athens Heart Paper: , , , ,
combined Semantic Web technology (three ontologies, rules, services architecture) with among the earliest fully Web based EMR system in a totally paperless clinical system. It was one of the three initial use cases for in 2005. Center and its partners in Jan 2006 as one of the earliest operational Semantic Web applications and it remains in 24x7 operation as of 2012. Pediatric Echo: 2000-2003 Due to issues of cost, personnel, and availability of qualified individuals, echocardiography has not been used to its full potential, especially in rural areas. Working with the pediatric echochardiologists at the Medical College of Georiga, I led development of the first of its kind system described as the “Low-Cost Tool for Pediatric Echocardiographic Consultation.” Used in blind trials by pediatric to compare against traditional method (in which a rural clinic sends a tape by overnight mail). successfully proved that the Web based system provided statistically equivalent or better results (at much lower cost, with higher convenience and speed). Paper (that reports the evaluation): Course Approval Process Automation (CAPA): 1997-1999 METEOR2’s graphical workflow designer and WebWork technology was the basis of CAPA. Course Approval Process Automation system was completed and deployed for use on UGA campus by any
faculty or involved in proposing new courses or changes to the courses, and processing and approval of the proposals. In first quarter of use, approximately 6000 courses were processed. My lab developed and maintained the system for the first year; now has been transferred to the VPAA's office. CAPA system has been operational since 1997. CareWeb: 1996-1988 An unintended outgrowth of collaboration that began as part of NIST’s Healthcare Information Integration Technology initiative. Funded by the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services. Involved early adoption of Web technologies for this field. CareWeb, a Web resource developed in collaboration with to support health information and education needs of under-served populations. InfoHarness: 1993-2000 InfoHaress was very in adding metadata to heterogeneous data (documents of InfoHaress was commercialized as in 1995 (Kshitij Shah). InfoHarness early system: , ; Commercial version:
different formats, source code, etc.). Web search (i.e., attributed-based or faceted search) of annotated Web accessible and Intranet documents. Its 1993, 1994 implementation used Mozilla (Leon Skylar; later Leon lead development of GeoHaress). Remained available until 2000 and was used in Baby Bells. My biggest related disappointed was the failure in convincing Bellcore business managers to target Web search market rather than limiting it to telco apps. METEOR: 1990-1994 METEOR2: 1995-1999 METEOR was the earliest multiparadigm (supporting transaction and nontransaction/user tasks) workflow management system (WfMS) (Krishnakumar). METEOR2 used emerging middleware and Web technologies resulting in two implementations: (1) WebWork (John Miller), one of the earliest WfMS, and (2) ORBWork (Krys Kochut), one of the earliest truly distributed workflow management systems. Note: METEOR2 was followed by a semantic Web Services version, but METEOR, developed at Bellcore, had internal technology with a product team (for the workflow component) and was also used in significant application like Child Immunization Tracking; work continued at UGA. METEOR2 was used to up and was licensed by Infocosm Inc.
