My
research interests focus on photography, philosophy of image, and how
humans use language to represent knowledge about entities. You may view
my Ph.D. dissertation Relationship Analysis of Image Descriptions: An Ontological, Content Analytic Approach, which examines how humans express relationships when describing images. I am currently working on the
ontology of the photograph and ontology-based representation in
the Scone knowledge-base system. I perform this work with Dr. Scott E.
Fahlman, Carnegie Mellon University.
Please

Archives,” in Archivaria
Volume 68 (2010),
“The Archival Photograph and Its Meaning: Formalisms for Modeling
Images,” Journal
of Archival Organization Volume 7, Number 4 (2009), and most recently, “OntoPhoto and the Role of
Ontology in Organizing Knowledge,” Knowledge Organization
Volume 38, Number 2 (2011).
