Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
The linked data initiative seeks to increase the machine computability of the web, but it is hard for authors to generate linked-data. We will investigate ways of publishing scientific knowledge where authors, readers and computational agents all gain advantage from additional semantics and machine computability. We will investigate representation of graph data and deep linking to ontological resources.
This project will feed into Knowledgeblog (http://knowledgeblog.org) which is both a high traffic (100k+ page reads) academic site in its own right, as well releasing its software for third party use by the academic blogosphere. Combined with exemplars using real data where possible, this will provide two valuable routes to evaluate and assess the representations in a real-world environment.
You should have either a First class honours degree in Computing Science, Mathematics, or other relevant science or engineering subject, or a or 2.1 in Computing Science, Mathematics or other relevant science or engineering subject and a distinction level Masters degree in a related subject. Equivalent experience will also be considered.

References
Apply through the University’s online postgraduate application form insert the reference CS024 on the first page of the application form and select PhD Computer Science as programme of study. Mandatory fields need to be completed and a covering letter, CV and (if English is not your first language) a copy of your English language qualifications attached. The letter must state the title of studentship, quote reference CS024 and describe how your research interests fit with the topic of the research projected outlined (max. 2 pages). If you already have published research papers a list of these providing bibliographic details should be included in the letter.
You should also send your covering letter and CV to the Postgraduate Secretary at cs.pg@ncl.ac.uk.
