Louise Parkin

Louise Parkin serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Networks and Telecommunications at the University Institute of Technology of Blois (IUT Blois), University of Tours, with additional affiliations at the Polytechnic School of the University of Tours (EPU) and the Fundamental and Applied Computer Science Laboratory of Tours (LIFAT). Her academic profile centers on advancing cooperative methods for knowledge base interrogation and semantic data management.

Her research specializes in Semantic Web technologies, focusing on resolving critical challenges in RDF and SPARQL query processing including plethoric answer sets, unexpected results, and scalability limitations. She develops cooperative frameworks that enhance user interaction with knowledge bases like Wikidata through query explanation mechanisms, adaptive result filtering, and on-demand analysis architectures. Her work bridges theoretical database concepts with practical knowledge engineering applications.

Within LIFAT laboratory, Parkin contributes to cutting-edge research in semantic data management systems. Her recent projects include Rankingdom's cooperative architecture for Wikidata analysis and scalable techniques for knowledge base exploitation, demonstrating sustained innovation in query processing methodologies from 2020 through 2025 publications.
