KSL conducts research in the areas of knowledge representation and automated reasoning in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. Current work focuses on enabling technology for the Semantic Web, hybrid reasoning, explaining answers from heterogeneous applications, deductive question-answering, representing and reasoning with multiple contexts, knowledge aggregation, ontology engineering, and knowledge-based technology for intelligence analysts and other knowledge workers.
Create autonomous systems including interactive physical robots and synthetic characters in virtual worlds that learn to communicate in human-like ways;
(2) Understand how children learn to communicate through longitudinal in vivo observation and analysis;
(3) Develop tools for visualizing, searching, and analyzing large corpora (e.g., video) using task-dependent semantic models.

Linked Data Research Centre (LiDRC) Laboratory
The LiDRC Lab is a collection of tools and demos we are working on in the Linked Data Research Centre, DERI at NUI Galway.
Experimental Tools & Services
In the table below you'll find tools and services we are experimenting with. They are likely not stable and are subject to (rapid) change.
Semantic Web technologies are moving beyond the laboratory and finding a role in the wider business world. Traditional companies such as Reuters and Oracle are putting semantic technologies to work, and startups are attracting increasing venture capital investment.
Based at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Decentralized Information Group is led by Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. DIG's members include leaders in technology and public policy, including the White House CTO for Internet Policy Danny Weitzner. DIG's work is closely coordinated with the activities of the World Wide Web Consortium, the international standards-setting organization for the Web.
The Web Science Trust (WST) is a charitable body with the aim of supporting the global development of Web Science through a network of world class laboratories known as WSTnet . It is hosted by the University of Southampton. The origins of the Web Science Trust can be found in the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) which was established in 2006.
'The Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) is an open consortium of universities, libraries, corporations and government research laboratories. LDC was formed in 1992 to address the critical data shortage then facing language technology research and development.'
