enIRaF (Marie Curie Project): enhanced information retrieval

and filtering for analytical systems

Ying Ding

Project Data

• Full title: Enhanced Information Retrieval and Filtering for Analytical Systems

• Short Title: ENIRAF• Proposal number: FP6-509766• Contract number: MTKD-CT-2004-509766• Duration of the project: 48 Months• Starting date: Oct 1, 2004• Total Budget: 265KEURO for the whole project

Goals

• The main goal of the project is to build new competencies of the Department in order to achieve a European level of research in information retrieval and filtering from the Internet.

Consortium

• Co-ordinator: The Poznań University of Economics (PL)

• Partner: – Forschungszentrum Informatik an der Universitaet

Karlsruhe (DE), – Hogskolen i Stavanger (NO), – Institut fuer Informatik der Universitaet (AT), – Kuratorium OFFISS e.V. (DE), – Technische Universitaet Bergakademie Freiberg

(DE), – The University of Sheffield (UK), – University of Twente (NL)

Innovation

• The innovative concept is to join the achievements in information filtering, knowledge representation and decision support systems. Semantic Web technologies and especially the use of ontologies, are expected to enable a much higher degree of automation and scalability in performing operations pertaining to the searching and extracting information.
