Database and Web Information Systems

The Database and Web Information Systems Group conduct research on storage, management, search and integration of data. Important application areas are materials science and the life sciences.

Currently, our research focuses on:

  • ontology engineering (alignment, debugging, evolution, visualization)
  • efficient data management for the web
  • querying linked data
  • graph databases

Keywords are: semantic web, ontologies, standards, databases, bioinformatics, biomedical informatics, materials science
