Context: Jim mentioned in his QCon talk that I am advocating for hypergraphs as the model of choice when designing a graph store. That’s not true. The previous post has the details.
Jim and I have been discussing graph store/database design for a long time now. As it is …
I’ve been working on Graph Store-related technologies for 5-6years now. I got fascinated by the idea of representing the world’s information as an interconnected network (check out my semantics-related posts and some of my publications). Back when I was in Microsoft Research I built Zentity, a graph store …
People started posting their condolences on Lee’s Facebook timeline so I guess it’s ok to post this note now.
Earlier this morning I received the sad news that my good friend and colleague at Microsoft, Lee Dirks, and his wife, Judy, were killed in a tragic accident in Peru. …
Ahhhh! One of my “children” is growing up and maturing!
I am so proud of the team over at Microsoft’s External Research. They have done an amazing job with Zentity. The new version packs a great set of cool new features, building on the extensible nature of the graph
The Zentity folks at MSR’s External Research group (Lee Dirks, Alex Wade, and Oscar Naim) and the wonderful guys at the University of Southampton, School of Engineer Sciences (Steven Johnston, Mark Scott, Kenji Takeda, Simon Cox, and Less Carr) organized
…The Zentity team is soliciting your feedback. They just broadcasted a message that I thought might be good to redistribute through this blog as well. Please note that the deadline for paper submission is FAST approaching. I’m looking forward to seeing all the things that the Zentity community is doing

Many months ago, Tony Hey, Evely Viegas, and I were invited to write a “viewpoint” article for the Communications of the ACM. It should be of no surprise that we chose to write about “Semantic Computing” as it relates to research.
While the focus of my contribution
…Despite a rocky start to the trip due to the jet-lag and a cold, I now feel so much better and I am ready (and very excited) to see my family and friends in Greece. I am currently at the British lounge at Gatwick, waiting for my flight.
…I am off to Europe in few days. My previous team, External Research in MSR, is organizing a small event in Cambridge, UK, to discuss all the great technologies that they have been developing over the last few years, for some of which you can blame me too :-)
…I am writing this while on a plane to London and then to Frankfurt. I am going to Germany to visit relatives for a day, close to Manheim, before heading to Munich to give a talk about Zentity at the “Repository Systems” workshop. Then, on Thursday I am
…I just arrived in San Jose for the Semantic Technologies conference. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a conference on a subject that I am VERY excited about so I do hope that the program is interesting. I am going to be at the Microsoft booth as
…As part of our Scholarly Communications-related activities in Atlanta (check out my previous post about Zentity v1.0), Alex Wade is going to talk tomorrow about a cool service: Translator. The web form-based translation does not represent anything new but check out the AJAX-based service. If you notice

I am in Atlanta for the Open Repositories 09 where I’ve joined the rest of the Scholarly Communications gang (Lee Dirks, Alex Wade, Pablo Fernicola, and of course Tony Hey).
Tony Hey just announced the general availability of Zentity v1.0 (download). It’s been
…The Scholarly Communications team in Microsoft Research is organizing a workshop as part of the Open Repositories 09 conference. During the workshop we’ll demonstrate and discuss lots of the technologies we’ve been building over the last couple of years to help with the scholarly communications lifecycle. The entire team will
