The Information Systems and Databases (ISDB) group at Waikato conducts research in mobile information access, location-based systems and health informatics. It targets application-oriented and fundamental research issues in the areas of event-driven systems and semantic analysis.
Topics:
- Semantic analysis and annotation
- Document provenance
- Augmented memory systems
- Mobile location-based access
We welcome requests concerning cooperations, further projects, student projects and doctor thesis.

Seminar at Victoria: A Snapshot of Information Seeking & Use in the Waikato
Nic Vanderschantz gives a presentation at the School of Information Management tomorrow (21 Nov, 2pm)
Abstract: Contemporary information seeking and use can be identified in a number sectors of daily life by users in their youth as well as their later years. Researchers at Waikato have investigated both youth and adult information users in a range of daily contexts. This seminar will briefly overview a small selection of recent and ongoing projects being worked on by researchers in the Information Systems and Databases Group at the University of Waikato. User-centred design approaches to information search interfaces, location-based mobile apps, and augmented books will be discussed.
Lynley will be off to do cool stuff in her internship at NASA, and then come back to continue with her Master's degree.
