Carlo Allocca (Alumni) 
Visiting Fellow
I started my PhD in KMi in October 2007.
My PhD research is in the Semantic Web field. In particular, I have investigated how to make explicit semantic relations between ontologies and evaluate their effects of "finding the most appropriate ontologies" through the Semantic Web search engine such as Watson.
My supervisors are Dr. Mathieu D'Aquin and Prof. Enrico Motta.
Keys: Semantic Web, Ontologies, Ontology Evolution, Semantic Relation Management, Semantic Web search engine, Background Knowledge, Knowledge Acquisition, Knowledge Reuse, Networked OntologiesTechnologies
