| I am currently Assistant Professor at the Computer Science Faculty of the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, and I'm a member of the KRDB Research Centre (https://www.inf.unibz.it/krdb/) and of the Smart Data Factory (https://smart.inf.unibz.it/en/), the technology transfer lab of the faculty. | | I am a PhD student in the field of semantic web. I have been captivated by ontology for over 3 years, ever since my master's degree, and have been following the latest developments in this field with keen interest. Being part of a community of ontologists and continuing to learn and contribute to discussions and activities would be an honor. |
| | |
| My research activity focuses on knowledge representation and conceptual modelling for data management.
| |
| I'm interested in the theoretical and methodological aspects behind the creation of ontology-based data management solutions. Multi-format data integration and access, efficient ontology-based query answering, formal semantics of conceptual modelling languages, temporal and multidimensional data representation, SPARQL querying support systems, data exploration techniques for non-technical users are among the topics I work on.
| |
| | |
| I contributed to the design of applications that are fed by (open and legacy) data in the so-called Research and Innovation ecosystem (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://www.inf.unibz.it/~almosca/papers/JOWO-2017_AM.pdf). The Open Data platform called UNiCS (https://unics.cloud/) is probably the most evident result of my attempt to apply the ontology-based approach for semantic data integration in this scenario. The Toscana Open Research, Regional Research and Innovation Observatory (https://www.toscanaopenresearch.it/en/) is another living example along the same line. | |
| | |
| My research career has been always characterised by a strong degree of interdisciplinarity: I like to build linguistic and conceptual bridges between different disciplines. This attitude gave me the opportunity to directly work with domain knowledge corpora by chemical engineers (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://www.inf.unibz.it/~almosca/papers/ban_mos_pal_ModelBasedCompoundFormulation_PROOFvERSION.pdf), Roman Empire historians (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://www.inf.unibz.it/~almosca/papers/calv-etal-EAAI-2016.pdf), policy makers (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2050/DAO_paper_4.pdf), mechanical artefact designers (chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/http://www.inf.unibz.it/~almosca/papers/colombo2007.pdf), among others. The idea of using the principles and technologies of Knowledge Representation to allow the cross-domain interchange of meanings is surely one of the most relevant driving engine of my research activity.

| I'm a member of the Editorial Board of the Applied Ontology journal, and since 2015 I contribute to the organisation of the Semantic Web and Ontology Design for Cultural Heritage (SWODCH), a scientific event that, year after year has witnessed the growth around it of a robust and nowadays consolidated community of both theoreticians and practitioners.
