Enrico Daga has carried out R&D on Web Semantics first at the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and then at the Knowledge Media Institute of The Open University in the UK, where he obtained a PhD. Enrico is currently Senior Research Fellow in KMi.

RESEARCH

His research is exploring novel methods for Knowledge Graph construction (SPARQL Anything) and infrastructure, with particular focus on metadata management, policies and process knowledge; applied to data-intensive scenarios in the smart cities, healthcare, humanities, and cultural heritage domains. He has so far supervised three PhD students to completion.

ACTIVITY

Enrico is Technical Director and Principal Investigator (PI) for the OU in the EU-funded H2020 project Polifonia and co-investigator and work package leader in the H2020 project SPICE.

He is Technical Director of the OU Open Knowledge Graph and of the MK Data Hub, a Smart City Data Infrastructure supporting research (SciRoc - robots in Smart Cities) and innovation (CityLABS project). Before, he played key roles in projects developing intelligent systems for Ontology Engineering (NeOn) and Smart Cities (MK:Smart).
