Senior🎓
Top SchoolKarima Rafes is a Senior Linked Data expert with 15+ years of experience blending research and industry work to make the Semantic Web practical and discoverable. She leads linked-data initiatives at eccenca while running BorderCloud, a company she founded to build tools that help organizations reuse open and private data. Her research focuses on removing barriers to SPARQL and RDF adoption by designing decentralized protocols, algorithms, and infrastructures that let agents find relevant LOD sources without prior schema knowledge. With a research doctorate from Université Paris-Saclay and industry stints at Inria, Orange Labs and France Telecom R&D, she bridges deep academic insight and product-focused engineering. Notably, she pursues a long-term vision of a global, interoperable, decentralized information space rather than centralized indexing—a direction reflected in both her consultancy and research-driven engineering.
