Jochen Tiepmar

In 2013 Jochen Tiepmar graduated with M.Sc. in Computer Science at the department for Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Leipzig with the thesis "Integrating data from the Semantic Web/Linked Data-Community in ISOcat/RELcat". After graduating, he was a member of the project "The Library of a Billion Words". The goal of this ESF-funded project was to create an infrastructure for a digitalisation workflow for documents. One part of this infrastructure was a Canonical Text Service. After evaluating the solutions that were available at the time, he decided to implement a CTS suitable for their needs.

Currently he is working at ScaDS (Scalable Data Solutions), a BMBF-funded collaboration between Dresden and Leipzig. This projects goal is to build a competence center for BigData problems and -solutions. Additionally he is working on getting his phd at the NLP group.
