Christoph Teichmann joins the Topic Maps Lab. Presently Christoph finishes his studies in philosophy and computer linguistics at the University of Potsdam. He is interested in formal and practical problems of parsing as well as in computational semantics. Due to his background, Christoph researches in the extraction of semantic information and structures from unstructured texts.

In the Topic Maps Lab Christoph will work in the second stage of the Musica migrans project. Within the next month the project will be extended to information of historical municipal music institutions in Central and Eastern Europe. The information of institutions will be interlinked with the musicians’ life courses in the current Musica migrans topic map.
