معرفی
Birgitta König-Ries is a Professor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Jena, Germany. She is a leading researcher in semantic technologies, ontology engineering, and knowledge graph management for biodiversity and life sciences. Her work focuses on reproducibility, provenance tracking, and data integration using semantic approaches.
- Research Interests: Semantic Web, Ontology Engineering, Knowledge Graphs, Biodiversity Informatics, Reproducibility of Scientific Experiments
- Key Collaborations: Sheeba Samuel, Nora Abdelmageed, Samira Babalou, Alsayed Algergawy, Felicitas Löffler, Vamsi Krishna Kommineni
Her recent publications emphasize automated knowledge graph construction, domain-specific language models (e.g., BiodivBERT), benchmarking semantic table interpretation (KG2Tables, BiodivTab), and tools for provenance management (MLProvLab, MLProvCodeGen). She contributes to FAIR data principles and interdisciplinary research, particularly in biodiversity and public administration transparency. Her work bridges theoretical advances with practical implementations, including open-access benchmarks (tFood, tBiodiv, tBiomed) and collaborative platforms like BiodivPortal and fusion-jena.
- Notable Tools & Benchmarks: BiodivBERT, KG2Tables, BiodivTab, MLProvLab, tBiodiv, tBiomed
