Publications related to the WebKB project

This is a subset of the chronologically-sorted publications of Dr. Ph. Martin.
To access a publication, click on its "author" header. For an overview of the main technical ideas, see the articles prefixed by a star in the list below. The normal font is used for books, book chapters and journal articles. The normal font is also used for articles from the LNCS/LNAI proceedings of the ICCS conferences since such articles have been assimilated to journal articles by Griffith Uni and to book chapters by researchers such as Kalina Bontcheva. The other refereed publications are in a smaller font.
