I am in the midst of writing my dissertation about "Information representation on the Semantic Desktop", something I do since three years every day and which I really like doing.

Thomas Roth Berghofer has written a nice little story on how he sees Doctorate Studies at our research company. Its written in German.

I stumbled into this science business, when I found no other way to continue work on gnowsis, and after two years of doing it, I got somehow used to it and learned the "way of the force", at least a little. Still, the biggest problem is writing. As you may notice, I don't care much about grammar or cool wording. So, its a long endeavour to do this, and to do real science is even harder. Coming more from the systems engineering group (my diploma was done at distributed systems group Vienna), my work focusses on the engineering science: how can we build the semantic web. Alas, Today I meet my doctorate "supervisor" and colleague Thomas Roth Berghofer, to check my status.

Promise, I will blog more frequently about my scientific work from now on. For example, about my various publications.
