Bio: Li Ding is a research scientist in the Tetherless World Constellation (TWC) at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). He is currently the technical lead of the TWC Linking Open Government Data (LOGD) project which has helped Data.gov, the US open government data web portal, in adopting semantic web technologies for data publishing and data integration. He is a former Kodak postdoctoral fellow in the Knowledge Systems, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (KSL) at Stanford University where he built ontology-based provenance and trust infrastructure for collaborative online knowledge management systems. He received Ph.D. in computer science from University of Maryland Baltimore County with his pioneer work on Swoogle, the first web-scale semantic web search engine. He received B.S. and M.S. in computer science from Peking University where he started applying semantic web technologies to geographical information systems in 2000. As an early adopter of the Semantic Web, he has published over 70 refereed papers and received over 1600 citations (source: Google Scholar). He is current or past program committee member of international conferences including WWW, ISWC, AAAI and CIKM.
