Summary of Ph.D. achievements
During the three years of the Ph.D. I performed my research activities at the Institute of Informatics and Telematics (IIT) of the National Research Council (CNR) of Pisa, Italy. More specifically, I worked in Web Applications for the Future Internet (WAFI) group.
Research activities
• Semantic Analysis of Information for Anti-evasion (ASIA) is a regional project fo-cused on the collection and analysis of information retrieved from the Web about people and commercial activities. My activities concerned the design and de-velopment of a system for gathering and analyzing data for finally enriching the profiles of people and commercial activities in order to highlight anomalies due to tax evasion.
• OpeNER is a FP7 European project with the purpose of providing the industries of the tourism sector with different technologies for the recognition of entities of interest such as hotels and restaurants, their classification and the sentiment analysis of their corresponding reviews. My activities consisted in designing and developing heuristic algorithms for performing and evaluating the entity linking of the entities of interest the project collected.
• Smart Campus is a national project consisting in the construction of innovative systems for improving the working quality and optimizing the energetic resources. My activities focused on the design and development of web application consist-ing in a interactive map allowconsist-ing the research of places and the navigation of the CNR campus in Pisa.
• Clavius on the Web is a project founded by the Registro.it aiming to study and add value to the correspondence of Christophorus Clavius. My activities mainly consisted in the management of the Linked Data of the project and the design and development of a tool for the annotation of manuscripts using Semantic Web technologies.
• DoGi is a database containing bibliographic references of articles published on Italian juridical journals. Linked Data DoGi is an interdepartmental project con-sisting on the translation of a relational database into a new one relying on Seman-tic Web technologies. My activities focused on the design and development of a system for publishing, querying and visually presenting Linked Data.
