Susan M. Colowick, Research Associate, assisted the foundation in implementing and testing Semantic Web technologies on the foundation’s Web site, beginning with the provision of complete metadata for scholarly publications in cooperation with Google Scholar. She went on to co-author conference papers for K-CAP 2007 and SAAKM 2007, write an article on the PanImages project for a trade publication, conduct research and write internal technical reports on four technology issues, and process data from about 45 sources for the enrichment of the PanLex lexical translation database. She has also provided much strategic, tactical, technical, and editorial advice to the foundation on most of the subjects on which it works.

In April 2005, after a worldwide search, we decided to begin supporting research at the Turing Center at the University of Washington, directed by Oren Etzioni, Professor of Computer Science & Engineering. Members of the Turing Center’s Advisory Board are David Notkin, Professor of Computer Science & Engineering; Emily Bender, Assistant Professor of Linguistics; and Jonathan Pool, President of Utilika Foundation. Foundation directors have also volunteered to organize occasional Turing Center events. The foundation provided support for the work of the Turing Center from its creation in May 2005 through the end of 2009. In 2008, the foundation decided to invest additional assets in the deployment, for the benefit of researchers, developers, and end-users worldwide, of a major panlingual translation resource designed by the Turing Center. |
