Welcome

Welcome to my personal web site!
My name is Vangelis Banos and I am an Information & Communication Systems Engineer with an Msc in Information Systems. I pursue software engineering, systems’ administration and research project management. I am living in Thessaloniki, Greece but I work with people all over Europe.

I am leading BlogForever, a collaborative FP7 research project. Its key objective is to develop robust digital preservation, management and dissemination facilities for weblogs.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. My research focuses on web data management, web content aggregation & analysis, blogs & the social web.

One of my most important projects is openarchives.gr, the first greek digital libraries search engine.

I am also developing oaipmh.com, a web application which enables validation and data extraction from OAI-PMH enabled digital libraries.

I am participating in the advisory board of Future Library, a project aiming to improve Greek libraries. Future Library is funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
