The internet contains a huge amount of semi-structured data \u2013 data which cannot easily be sorted into tables with pre-defined categories, and is therefore difficult to manage. However, researchers at the University of Oxford\u2019s Department of Computer Science have developed methods to manage and exploit this type of data.
\n \n\n \n \nResearch through the Oxford Photonics Network has led to a wide range of innovative photonic technology, and there is significant potential for industrial exploitation. However, it is difficult for individual research groups to respond at short notice to opportunities that may facilitate impact in the industrial sector. Using EPSRC IAA funding, Professor Martin Booth set up the Optical Systems Engineering Group (OSEG) in the Department of Engineering Science, specifically to address this gap.
