About Thoughts and Ideas on Semantics and Contexts
Me and this blog
Hello my name is Daniel Kornev, I'm Program Manager at Microsoft, working in a partnership with a Windows Sensor and Location Platform Team, and here I will post about the things I research in my spare time - all around Semantics and Contexts.
Disclaimer: Semantics is not a Microsoft product or official project but the one that I'm working on at my spare time.
In this blog I will cover different aspects of catching user's context, dealing with it and making user's work more productive. Productive? Yeah, because I believe that with a set of information that we get from different sources today, there is a need to categorize it and manage the reception of it by our - users -own rules.
I'm proud to say that in Windows 7 we at Microsoft delivered a new Windows Sensor and Location Platform that enables computer to capture the Environmental Context and thus power up different applications running on Windows and making them context-aware which will make end-user's experience more optimal in different situations users are today.
Thanks for coming and enjoy reading!
