Publications...
I have grouped my publications thematically, rather than purely by date. As is often the case, there is an 'other' category for publications which don't represent major research themes. The majority of my research effort is focussed on the first topic - computing and minority languages - but both semantic hypermedia and experience design continue to be important, ongoing research areas for me.

Minority Languages
This section groups together my publications relating to the investigation of the relationship between minority languages, ICT and language planning. To date this work has focussed on Wales and on the Welsh language, however the intention is to broaden this focus through collaboration with other researchers interested in similar issues.

The Hypermedia Research Unit, of which I am part, has been active in the field of hypermedia since 1991. This section contains publications relating to semantic hypermedia and thesaurus-based knowledge organisation systems. This work continues to be the main focus of research within the Hypermedia Research Unit.
