This Web site concerns my computing interests and related studies.  It provides reference to several static and dynamic Web-design projects, some of which provide functional code examples.  The projects have been developed using various programming languages and applications, including XHTML, CSS, Active Server Pages, Javascript, Java, Flash, SQL, C++, Access, Oracle 8i and SQL Server 2000.

The site is structured around the following areas:

• Brief educational CV and related information.
• Some previous written work.
• Programming examples.
• Web design - demonstrated in links to several designs.
• Database design.
• Information Sharing - Ontology Integration and the Semantic Web*.
• Semantic search will be considered using test data of 100 Web pages
  
  * Scientific American: The Semantic Web: A new form of Web content that is meaningful to computers, will unleash a revolution of new possibilities.

Earlier written work includes papers on the Data Protection Act 1998, the evolution of Intranets in organisations and employee motivational issues caused by technology "change in the workplace".

The above sections provide some evidence of work undertaken for my degree of BSc (Hons), Information Systems Design, completed in 2003 at UCLan.  Some of it is trivial! - but some is more involved.  Further work involving PhD research - relating to information and data integration in Web environments enabled via "Semantic Web" technologies such as RDF/XML, RDF Schema and OWL Web Ontology Language - can be found in the Semantic Web link.

Content will change as my work develops e.g. provision of programming code examples and activities related to my Semantic Web Ontology research.  If you want to discuss any issue, get in touch via the contact link at the foot of the page.

This site is listed in the DMOZ Open Directory Project (ODP), the largest, most comprehensive human-edited directory of the Web;  From an ontological perspective, ODP represents a hierarchical classification or taxonomy.  Use the search-box, or the link, to explore the classification further.
