[Outline of current research] 

The research focuses on distributed semantic information management for Geomedia, Cultural applications and therapeutic applications. It is a vertical research on advanced platform including specific researches on large clusters information and semantic management engine, advanced cooperative portal, ontological Topic Maps-based metadata management, and multi-lingual multi-cultural cross-disciplinary ontology management. Part of this research, the Image-learning Ontology engine is emerging as a key technology.
