​​The challenges that the research group is working on include:

  • Devise Knowledge graphs able to encode the meaning and context of scientific data and contain knowledge about provenance, privacy, quality, and uncertainty.
  • Domain-specific ontologies and link discovery techniques are capable of promoting the interoperability of heterogeneous and large scientific datasets in a scalable manner.
  • Integration methods for heterogeneous and extensive scientific data sources, for example, legacy data, structured and unstructured data, as well as static data and continuous data streams.
  • Storage and distribution of large-scale scientific data and knowledge graphs.
  • Access control methods to enforce privacy regulations for sensitive data. 
  • Query engines for distributed scientific knowledge graphs.
  • Data analysis and methods of knowledge discovery via scientific knowledge graphs.
