His current research projects include the "Finnish National Ontology Project (FinnONTO), 2003-2007, 2008-2010" (http://www.seco.tkk.fi/projects/finnonto/) aiming at developing the basis for a semantic web infrastructure in Finland.
This infrastructure includes development of large Finnish ontologies, metadata schemas, and ontology services for their cost-effective usage on the web using Web 2.0 technologies.
The infrastructure is being tested and demonstrated in various pilot applications for the national semantic web. A major theme in these systems is to facilitate distributed collaborative content creation on the web based on shared ontologies and ontology services.
