=Michael Wessel=
Michael Wessel is a Computer Scientist in the Artificial Intelligence
Center of SRI International, Menlo Park, California. He is interested
in applying ontologies and knowledge representation and reasoning to
real-world application problems. Recently, he developed an
ontology-based dialogue management system for SRI's virtual personal
assistant platform. He was also a member of SRI's AURA / HALO
project, funded by Paul Allen, where he contributed to the maintenance
and extension of the KR&R and question answering backends.

Before coming to SRI, Michael was a co-founder and developer for
"Racer Systems" GmbH, in Hamburg, Germany. The company's OWL and
description logic reasoner "RacerPro" was among the most widely used
and known description logic and OWL reasoners of the first decade of
this century. There, he developed the nRQL description logic and OWL
query language, semantic web infrastructure, and an ontology workbench
(RacerPorter). He also worked as a research and teaching assistant for
the Hamburg University of Technology, and the University of Hamburg,
where he was involved in a number of large-scale projects on
ontologies and reasoning, funded by the European Commission.

Michael holds a PhD (Dr. rer. nat) in computer science from the
Hamburg University of Technology, and a diploma in computer science
from the University of Hamburg. His dissertation was in the context of
ontology-based information systems, where he employed ontologies for
query answering in spatial information systems (GIS), as well as for
retrieval in the Semantic Web.

His current research interests include large-scale knowledge graphs,
as well as ontology- and knowledge graph-learning from the web, such
that the knowledge acquisition bottleneck of traditional symbolic
systems can be alleviated by acquiring "knowledge from the web".
