Research Assistant
I received my Ph.D. in computer science from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. My thesis was on context-aware computing technology and its application in semantic Web services. In 2008, I joined the Knowledge Media Institute. My current interests are semantic technology and runtime monitoring on execution of Web services.

Networks and Ontologies for the Transformation and Unification of Broadcasting and the intErnet
The ultimate goal of this project is to develop flexible/adaptive end-to-end architecture, based on semantic technologies, for personalised creation, distribution and consumption of TV content. The project will take a user-centric approach to investigate fundamental aspects of consumers' content-customisation needs, interaction requirements and entertainment wishes, which will shape the future of the "TV" in all its new forms. "New technology is transforming the TV industry", says Mark Thomson, BBC CEO for Observer. Watching TV more and more happens together with PC-related activities, e.g. chatting with friends, talking on the phone, searching on the Internet for related info about programs. Already in 2000, the trend was by "couch-and-mouse toys serving 27 million Americans who were able to watch TV and surf the Web at the same time - the "telewebbers". Nowadays, digital video-recording software provides the facility to "time-shift" live television programming through a PC (e.g. via TiVo and ReplayTV). Companies are attempting to bundle "an electronic program guide into its software, along with personal viewing agents that can recommend broadcasted programs based on your viewing habits" . For example, while watching "Dancing with the stars", you can vote for your favourite couple, read their biographies, find other programs this week where they appear, record your favourite dances and send them to friends; you can also join live chats during the program. However, "such interactive services stay TV-centric (in the device sense of the term TV) and use Internet and digital technology only to enhance the entertainment that you expect to see when you plop yourself down in front of the tube."

Where Linked Data Meets Services
iServe is a platform for publishing Semantic Web Services as linked data, no matter their original format. iServe addresses the publication of services from a novel perspective based upon lessons learnt from the evolution of the Web of Data. It transforms service annotations expressed in a variety of formats including SAWSDL, OWL-S and MicroWSMO into what we refer to as Linked Services – linked data describing services – that can directly be interpreted by state of the art Semantic Web technologies for their discovery and further processing.

SeMantic Annotation enviRonmenT for Linked Services
Smart Link is short for "SeMantic Annotation enviRonmenT for Linked Services". Simply put, it is an easy-to-use Web application aiding users in the creation of Linked Services - semantic service annotations following Linked Data (http://linkeddata.org/) principles. Amongst other things, it provides an interface to populate and query the Linked Services repository iServe (http://iserve.kmi.open.ac.uk).
SmartLink builds on existing technologies and standards to enable wide reach of its annotations. Users can annotate arbitrary services - whether REST-ful or WSDL/SOAP-based - via a simple Web form. Annotations are stored in RDF following established service schemas, namely WSMO-Lite (http://cms-wg.sti2.org/TR/d11/) and the Minimal Service Model (MSM, http://iserve.kmi.open.ac.uk/wiki/index.php/Simple_vocabulary) which follow a light-weight approach to Semantic Web Services. Storage of annotations is spread across two public RDF-stores: iServe (http://iserve.kmi.open.ac.uk) handles all functional properties defined in the MSM schema while an additional and SmartLink-specific SESAME repository hosts further non-functional service properties. A unified interface to store and query annotations across both repositories is provided by SmartLink.
