Projects

HTTPA

HTTPA is the project at the core of my PhD thesis research. HTTPA stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol with Accountability. The objective of this protocol is to enable data providers to specify the usage restrictions associated with the data and communicate them to the data consumers, and have the ability to verify that the data consumers have kept their promise.

DIY Mobile App Development for Disaster Management

DIY Mobile App Development is a project where we focus on rapid mobile application development with the help of MIT App inventor and Linked Data technologies.

Tipsy

Tipsy is a framework designed to incentivize creative content creators on the Web. This project is done in collaboration with David Karger, Doc Searls and Adam Marcus.

WebBox

WebBox is an attempt at re-thinking web architectures fundamentally to eliminate the need for central silos of control.

Tabulator is a generic databrowser and editor. There is an online version that can run on any browser, a Firefox extension and a Chrome extension.

I contributed the Justification pane and the Lawyer's Pane as part of the Transparent Accountable Data Mining Initiative (TAMI) project. In addition to that, I have contributed numerous bugfixes for Tabulator over the years.
