Ambjorn Naeve
Ambjörn Naeve has a background in mathematics and physics and received his Ph.D. in computer
science from KTH in 1993. With the Garden of Knowledge
project (1996-98)
he initiated the research on interactive learning environments at CSC at
KTH , where he presently heads the Knowledge
Management Research group . He is also the
coordinator of research on interactive learning environments at the
Uppsala Learning Lab at
Uppsala University
.
The KMR-group has been involved in Semantic Web
research and development
since 1999. The work of the KMR-group focuses on how to make use of
Semantic Web technology in order to enable more efficient forms of
technology-enhanced learning and administration, and support the
emergence of a Public Knowledge and Learning Management Environment.
Within the KMR-group, such a PKLME is regarded as an important form of
public service.
Prominent among the KMR software tools are the frameworks SCAM
and SHAME ,
the concept browser Conzilla , and the
electronic portfolio system Confolio . The
KMR-group is active within several international networks in
technology-enhanced learning and Semantic Web, notably, Prolearn
, SIGSEMIS and Sakai
.
Ambjörn Naeve is also an industry consultant with extensive experience
in conceptual modeling for software engineering and business
applications. He is the inventor of Conzilla
and he has developed a conceptual modeling technique called Unified
Language Modeling ,
which is specially designed to depict conceptual relationships in a
linguistically coherent way - i.e., to "draw how we talk about things".
