Professional
Dr. Hollander is a research analyst whose work focuses on the use of information systems for biodiversity management. Areas of emphasis include predictive mapping and modelling of biodiversity patterns, and developing systems and standards for sharing biodiversity data over the Internet. He is also interested in issues of knowledge representation and reasoning under uncertainty in environmental management. Current projects include being the technical lead for the California Node of the National Biological Information Infrastructure, participating in SPIRE which is an effort to develop applications of the Semantic Web for biodiversity informatics, and helping develop the California Environmental Digital Library Network (CalEDLN).
