Research
I am a postdoc researcher collaborating with Politecnico di Milano and Università della Svizzera Italiana: my main research activity is on participative systems for information sharing and collaborative work, and their interactions with Semantic Web technologies.
Research Interests
- Participative systems
- Semantic Web and Web2.0 interactions
- Social Web mining and applications
Projects
- SpeakinAbout, a collaborative semantic annotation tool;
- SquirrelRDF-IMAP, an IMAP plugin for SquirrelRDF;
- Web2Rism, a web2.0 reputation analyzer for tourism, in collaboration with the Webatelier laboratory at USI.
