Bio: Li Ding is a research scientist in the Tetherless World Constellation at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). As an early adopter of the Semantic Web (since 2000), his research interest covers many practical aspects of the Semantic Web, such as semantic search, user interaction, web-scale computing, ontology, provenance, privacy and trust, information integration, and social computing. He is also known as the founder of Swoogle, one of the first semantic web search engine on the Web. He is an active researcher in Semantic Web community and has served as organizer and program committee member for major conferences such as WWW, ISWC, CIKM, AAMAS, and many other international workshops. He is a former Kodak postdoctoral fellow in the Knowledge Systems, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (KSL) at Stanford University. He received Ph.D. in computer science from University of Maryland Baltimore County. Prior to that, he received B.S. and M.S. in computer science from Peking University.

Selected Projects
The Data-gov Wiki
--
building and reusing linked government data for data.gov using Semantic Web technologies.
Inference Web
--
Phase 2 focuses on provenance computing, e.g. "OWL Instance Data Evaluation" and provenance matadata analysis.
Transparent Accountable Datamining Initiative (TAMI)
--
Creating technical, legal, and policy foundations for transparency and accountability in large-scale aggregation and reasoning across heterogeneous information systems. Phase 2 focuses on collaborative environment for physically distributed researchers to build ontology and evolve scenario metadata, and Semantic Web policies.
General Integrated Learning Architecture (GILA)
--
Using Semantic Web technology to support and explain multi-agent integrated learning system that learns plans from several examples. Phase 2 focuses on making system transparent to end user by explaining system behaviors and data flow.
Swoogle
--
Search and metadata for the Semantic Web. One of the first Semantic Web Metadata and Search Engines.
SemDis
--
Semantic Discovery: organizing and discovering complex relationships in Semantic Web
