SeCo Welcomes You!

The Semantic Computing Research Group (SeCo) researches machine-processable semantics related to, e.g., the Semantic Web. We are located at the Aalto University, School of Science, Department of Computer Science and HELDIG – Helsinki Centre for Digital Humanities, University of Helsinki, Faculty of Arts. Our group consists of researchers both from the Aalto University, School of Science, Department of Computer Science and University of Helsinki, Department of Computer Science, and HELDIG.

Our research is focused on semantic technologies, such as the Semantic Web and intelligent web services. In addition to research and publications, we also create prototype applications that demonstrate the new possibilities of semantic technologies, such as semantic portals for end users, semantic infrastructural data and ontology services, and ontologies and tools for creating semantic applications.

Application Domains

Our work is highly cross-disciplinary, including application domains, such as Digital Humanities, Health, Learning, Government, Commerce, Geography, and Biology.
