Knowledge Engineering @ CUI is a research laboratory of the Information science institute which is part of the Center for Computing at the University of Geneva. We are conducting research on knowledge engineering: knowledge representation, knowledge-based information systems, and interfaces to access knowledge.

Research actions

Contextualization in ontologies and knowledge graphs. In large knowledge graphs, such as Wikidata, the statements are generally accompanied with contextual information that specify their temporal or spatial validity, or express their cause, provenance, certainty, etc. This type of information must be taken into account when performing queries or inferences on these graphs. more ...

The representation of geographic entities consists in representing their (3D) geometry and other abstract properties (function, usage, historical data, etc.) It is also important to represent their temporal evolution, the uncertainty about their shape and location (in particular for subsurface objects) and rules that apply to these objects (e.g. construction compliance rules) more ...
