Finding and Using Information in e-Documents

My research is dedicated to helping people to make sense of documents. While the advent of digital media presents many opportunities, the major problems I seek to address are to locate and secure appropriate access to the right documents at the right time from amongst the sheer quantity of documents available to us; to understand and make meaningful use of the content once it is found; to enhance that content by current means which include annotating, clustering, and tagging for both personal and community use; and, lastly, to recombine and restructure documents which speaks to the vision of Bush and Otlet inter alia who saw the potential of hypertext and the Semantic Web. My coherent research projects are housed within one research group, HAIKU (Hypertext Augmenting Intelligent Knowledge Use).
