Bio

Maarten Marx (1964) is afgestudeerd in de politicologie (1990) en gepromoveerd in the wiskundige logica (1995), beide aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Hij is (co-)auteur van 3 boeken en meer dan 75 wetenschappelijke artikelen. Sinds 2002 doet hij onderzoek naar XML, in het bijzonder naar XPath dialecten. In 2004 won hij de ACM Principles of Database Systems best paper award voor zijn Codd- volledigheids resultaat voor "Conditional XPath". Zijn huidige interesse ligt in het integreren van grote hoeveelheden semi- gestructureerde "text-centric" data. Een voorbeeld van zo'n dataintegratie en -mediatie project is te vinden op www.polidocs.nl.

Maarten Marx (1964) obtained his master in political science (1990) and his PhD in mathematical logic (1995), both at the University of Amsterdam. Hi (co)-authored 3 books and more than 75 scientific articles. Since 2002 his main research topic is XML, in particular XPath dialects. In 2004 he won the ACM Principles of Database Systems best paper award for his Codd-completeness result for "Conditional XPath". His current research interest is integration of large amounts of semi-structured, text-centric, data. An example of a recent data integration and mediation project of his is www.polidocs.nl. This site makes the Dutch parliamentary data easily accessible. The site won the 2008 XML Holland award.

Current research interest

Making large amounts of political data easily accessible, for keyword search and for aggregate queries. We do this by extracting implicit structure and make that explicit in XML. Here are three examples of data-mediation sites: one for the Dutch parliamentary proceedings , and one for the Dutch 2006 election manifestos. The last one is a search engine into the Sigmod Record collection of interviews with distinguished database researchers.
