Aidan Hogan

Aidan Hogan is a post-doctoral researcher at the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI), National University of Ireland, Galway. His research interests focus on consuming Linked Data, where he has published various contributions on crawling, ranking, indexing, reasoning and querying over large crawls of RDF Web data, as well as related issues concerning data quality. He received his PhD from DERI in 2011; his thesis presented various use-cases for reasoning over Linked Data, analyses of the use of RDFS and OWL on the Web, as well as scalable, distributed and robust algorithms for reasoning over heterogeneous Linked Data corpora. Aidan is one of the main contributors to the Semantic Web Search Engine (SWSE) project, and is one of the co-founders of the Pedantic Web group which gently encourages Linked Data publishers to fix their exporters (where necessary).
