He did foundational work in [http://tomgruber.org/technology/ontologies.htm ontology engineering] and is well-known for [http://www-ksl.stanford.edu/kst/what-is-an-ontology.html his definition of ontologies in the context of Artificial Intelligence]. The approaches and technologies<br /> from this work are precursors to the infrastructure for today's [http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ Semantic Web]. At Stanford University in the early 1990's, Tom was a pioneer in the use of the Web for collaboration and knowledge sharing. He invented<br /> [http://www.hypermail.org/ HyperMail], a widely-used open source application that turns email conversations into collective memories, which chronicled many of the [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-talk/ early discussions that helped define the Web]. He built [http://tomgruber.org/writing/ontolingua-kaj-1993.htm ontology engineering tools] and established [http://ksl-web.stanford.edu/knowledge-sharing/ the first web-based public exchange for ontologies],<br /> software, and knowledge bases. During the rise of the Web, Dr. Gruber<br /> founded Intraspect, an enterprise software company that pioneered the<br /> space of [http://tomgruber.org/technology/intraspect.htm collaborative knowledge management]. Intraspect applications help professional people collaborate in large distributed communities, continuously contributing to a collective body of knowledge.
