SWAT is a 3-year joint project at the Open University and Manchester University which aims to develop tools allowing ordinary users to create and edit ontologies and metadata on the Semantic Web through a natural language interface. The PhD research task will be to develop and evaluate novel techniques for intuitive user interaction with ontologies and data. You will have an outstanding educational and/or experiential background in Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science or Computational Linguistics.
