Position available, Project Analyst, Oxford University (kw's: semantic web, linked data)

Description

In a nutshell, we are building a system to capture the research information infrastructure: linking people, departments, grants, funders, articles, theses, books and data together.

(Technical information: using RDF and a mix of published and homegrown ontologies, and using an objectstore to act as a serialised, archival base for the information. Evidence, context and provenance will be a strong focus.)
