She has been working in knowledge representation and reasoning environments for ontology creation and maintenance for over 20 years. She has built and deployed numerous ontology environments and ontology applications, including some that have been in continuous use for over a decade at AT&T and Lucent. (Her previous AT&T web site had more information on this topic.) She is co-editor of the Ontology Web Language which has emerged from web ontology working group of the World Wide Web (W3C) semantic web activity and is now achieved W3C Recommendation status. She helped start the web ontology working group out of work as a co-author of the DARPA Agent Markup Language program's DAML language. She helped form the Joint EU/US Agent Markup Language Committee which evolved the DAML language into the DAML+OIL description logic-based ontology language. She is a co-author of one of the more widely used long-lived description logic systems (CLASSIC) from Bell Laboratories. Deborah is a leader in ontology-based tools and applications. Her work on languages (including OWL, DAML+OIL, OIL, CLASSIC, etc.) is aimed at providing languages that enable the next generation of web applications moving from a web aimed at human consumption to the semantic web aimed at machine consumption in support of intelligent assistants and web agents. She is a co-author of the current ontology evolution environment from Stanford University. She also consulted to help VerticalNet design and build its Ontobuilder/Ontoserver ontology evolution environment. She also ran the Stanford project to help Cisco systems form its ontology evolution plan for its meta data formation work. Deborah is the tehnical and project lead at Stanford on Inference Web(IW). IW provides a framework for explaining answers from heterogeneous web applications. It does so by providing infrastructure and an implemented web-based environment for storing, exchanging, combining, annotating, comparing and rendering proofs and proof fragments provided by reasoners and query answering systems. Inference web is being used as an infrastructure for explanations in a number of DARPA projects and in a few demonstration systems including the DAML Query Language and the KSL wine agent. Deborah led the wine agent project as an early semantic web services demonstration system that integrates explanation (via Inference web), semantic web languages (via DAML+OIL and OWL), semantic web query languages (via DQL), and web services (via DAML-S). Deborah is the project leader for the knowledge systems laboratory's project on Tools for DAML-Based Services, Document Templates, and Query Answering for the Darpa Agent Markup Language project. That project's goal is to create technologies that will enable software agents to dynamically identify and understand information sources, and to provide interoperability between agents in a semantic manner. She is also the project leader for the Rapid Knowledge Formation project at Stanford's Knowledge Systems Laboratory. The project's goal is to allow distributed teams of subject matter experts to quickly and easily generate, use, and modify knowledge bases without the aid of knowledge representation and reasoning experts. Deborah also plays a lead technical role in Stanford's Advanced Question and Answering for Intelligence project for ARDA and Stanford's Novel Intelligence for Massive Data project for ARDA. Most recently, Deborah is providing the technical lead for Stanford's recent Perceptive Assistant that Learns (PAL) project for DARPA. Deborah was also the project lead for the Stanford Knowledge Systems Laboratory Cisco project which resulted in the ontology-enhanced Cisco.com site. She was also project lead for the KSL High Performance Knowledge Base project at Stanford. This program was aimed at improving how computers acquire, represent, and manipulate knowledge. Stanford's focus in this program was on building, distributing, and evolving collaborative and individual knowledge bases and in building rich environments for manipulating knowledge. One of many achievements that resulted from this program was the Chimaera Ontology Environment that focuses on ontology evolution with special emphasis on merging ontologies and analyzing ontologies for possible or provable problems. Research and Application Areas: artificial intelligence applications for the web (particularly semantic web services and commerce applications) knowledge representation and reasoning systems and their usability information organization (particularly ontology generation and management) filtering object presentations and explanations ontology-enhanced search Deborah's main application areas have included: configurators (17 deployed systems for AT&T and Lucent Technologies having configured over 6 billion dollars worth of telecommunications equipment) knowledge-enhanced search (10 applications deployed within AT&T and Quintillion in areas such as medicine, high technology and telecommunications competitive intelligence, customer care, staffing, high tech research, etc.) intelligent web applications (electronic yellow pages, online calendars, home town web sites, electronic commerce, etc. at AT&T and Quintillion) Education and Research Lab History: Deborah holds a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Duke University, a M.S in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley, and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University. She joined Stanford in 1998 after having spent 18 1/2 years at AT&T Labs--Research (previously AT&T Bell Laboratories). Her AT&T work can be viewed from her previous web site.
