Transfer to the University of Mannheim

As of June 2012, Professor Christian Bizer has moved to the University of Mannheim where he has been appointed W3-Professor for Information Systems and is part of the Research Group Data and Web Science at the School of Business Informatics and Mathematics.

All research, open data and open source software projects, that were formerly hosted at Freie Universität Berlin, will be continued in Mannheim. See projects.

Overview

Christian Bizer explores technical and economic questions concerning the development of global, decentralized information environments. His current research focus is the evolution of the World Wide Web from a medium for the publication of documents into a global dataspace. The results of his work include the Named Graphs data model which was adopted into the W3C SPARQL recommendation; the D2RQ mapping language which is widely used for publishing relational databases to the Web of Data; the Silk - Linking Framework, and the Berlin SPARQL Benchmark for measuring the performance of RDF stores. Christian Bizer has initialized the W3C Linking Open Data community effort which is interlinking large numbers of data sources on the Web. He also co-founded the DBpedia project which derives a comprehensive knowledge base from Wikipedia. Christian Bizer obtained his doctoral degree with a dissertation on information quality in the context of Web-based Systems.
