I am a junior research scientist at FBK-IRST, Center for information Technology, Data and Knowledge Management Unit. My research interests are in the area of the semantic web, in particular ontologies and mappings between ontologies, systems and formalisms for (distributed, contextual) knowledge representation and reasoning (such as Description Logics and its extension to Distributed Description Logics, CYC), knowledge acquisition, integration of semantic web technologies with natural language processing techniques.
