Much of Kno.e.sis's research is transdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and team-oriented, with a strong practical and systems orientation, and involves partners from industry, the sciences, and government.

Key application areas are semantic e-science (including bioinformatics, biomedicine, health care), Web-based information management (including search and business intelligence), and national and homeland security (including intelligence analysis).

Our research has pioneered techniques and capabilities related to:

• Ontology management and multi-ontology environments
• Integration and analysis of heterogeneous (structured, semi-structured, unstructured) data
