Research Project: The context of this research activity is the study and development of the Semantic Web. The selected candidate will analyse and develop algorithms for extracting knowledge patterns from heterogeneous sources, which are typical of the Web. The goal is to build formalized patterns that emerge from collective knowledge existing on the Web, and to demonstrate that such patterns are effective as means for improving the automatic interpretation and the interaction with large-scale information and data sources (with particular focus on Web content). The developed algorithms will leverage and extend existing techniques of knowledge extraction. The effectiveness of extracted patterns will be evaluated with new evaluation metrics, as well as with the design and performance of user-based experimental studies in the area of social knowledge management for the Italian Public Administration.
