Erik Duval is a professor at KU Leuven in Belgium who focuses his research on managing and accessing structured and unstructured data, as applied to technology enhanced learning, music retrieval, and research. His team's work involves repositories, federated search, harvesting, and content management, as well as related human-computer interaction aspects. Duval advocates for making all learning resources openly available to all users. However, he notes that openness is not the goal in itself but rather a starting point, and that the focus must remain on the user experience.
