In 2004, while working as a researcher at DERI, Breslin founded the Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities project, a Semantic Web framework for data portability[5] used in web applications[6] such as Yahoo! SearchMonkey,[7] Drupal 7[8] and the Newsweek website.[9]
In 1998, Breslin set up an Internet forum to discuss video games[10] which evolved into boards.ie, one of Ireland's largest indigenous websites.[11] He serves as a non-executive director with boards.ie Ltd., and was awarded Net Visionary awards by the Irish Internet Association in 2005 [12] and 2006.[13]
