- Research Unit Leader at Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI)Research | Ireland, IESummaryEdward Curry investigates the impact and adoption trends of emerging technologies within industry. His specific focus for the last number of years has been how linked data technology and the web of data are changing the way business work and interact with information.
Edward is a research leader at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), one of the leading international web science research organizations. His projects include studies of enterprise linked data, energy informatics, semantic information management, and community-based data curation.
Edward has worked extensively with industry and government advising on the adoption patterns, practicalities, and benefits of new technologies to enhance information architectures and flows within their organizations. His research has investigated the utilization of these advanced technologies within the pharmaceutical, oil & gas, financial, advertising, media, manufacturing, health care, ICT, and automotive industries.
Edward has a PhD from the National University of Ireland, Galway, has published journal and book articles and has spoken at international conferences and workshops. He is an adjunct lecturer at the National University of Ireland, Galway.Specialties: Enterprise linked data, energy informatics, semantic information management, community-based data curationExperience- Mar 2009 - PresentResearch Unit Leader / DERI

André Freitas presented at the 27th ACM Symposium On Applied Computing a work which describes the use of distributional semantics as an approach to search for concepts in vocabularies on the Linked Data Web. Users today have a hard time trying to find the right concept to express their needs when trying to reuse existing vocabularies. The proposed approach abstract users from the terms which were used in the vocabulary, semantically matching the terms expressed in the query with the terms expressed in the vocabularies.
