Logics for Data and Knowledge Representation Projects and thesis introduction
Projects • People per group: 1 or max 2 (first come first served) • Amount of work: 3-4 weeks of individual work full time (each person) • Supervisors: PhD and postdocs (3-4 quick meetings to discuss the problem, intermediate checks, index of the report) • Content of the report: Formal specification of the problem + description of the work done + example of usage with Protégé • Length of the report: max 15 pages + appendixes, data files, code • Delivery time: at least 1 week before the exam • Exam grading: midterm (max 30/32) + project (max 30/35) • Thesis: 6 months full time
Personal Events in the LOD Cloud • Reference person: P. Andrews, J. Paniagua • Goal: Extension of existing ontologies for sharing event-media representations • Extended schema • Examples of events-media links • Requirements: OWL/RDF knowledge, LOD principles understanding • Notes: • Possible extension to a Master project on Event/Media annotation in Narratives
Development of an OWL Parser and Writer • Reference person: Feroz Farazi • Description: • WebSemantic Web • HTML and XML RDF and OWL • UK is a knowledge base developed at UNITN • Goal: To develop an OWL Parser and writer • To retrieve knowledge from the OWL ontologies for the enrichment of the UK • To publish UK as a set of ontologies in OWL • Requirements: The candidate must have a good knowledge of Java programming language. The knowledge of OWL and RDF is a plus.
Entity store on top of a triple store • Reference person: UladzimirKharkevich[http://www.ulakha.com/] • Goal: Design and implement an entity-centric storage system on top of triple-centric standards and implementations. • Requirements: knowledge of semantic web technologies: • RDF(S): http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/ • OWL: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-primer/ • SPARQL: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ • + read about schema.org and HQL(hibernate query language) • Notes: • The goal of this project is to design an entity store on top of a triple store • The goal of master thesis will be to implement the designed architecture
User evaluation of the entity search • Reference person: M. Menendez • Goal: Perform a user evaluation of the search functionality in an existing digital library for academics and researchers: • Provide a formal specification of entity search • Obtain qualitative and quantitive data from real users • Analysis and interpretation of the collected data. • Requirements: Attendance to the HCI course by Antonella de Angeli. • Notes: • The project will be completed with a Master project on User evaluation of the entity search.
Domain development • Reference person: Biswanath Dutta / Anand Kumar Pandey • Goal: • Creating faceted classification of the domain following DERA methodology • Available domains: Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Hockey,… • Linking domain classification to Linguistic part of Universal Knowledge Core (UKC) • Requirements: knowledge of ontology development (not mandatory) • Note: The work has to be described in a final report providing: • the formal specification of the domain; • the synthesis of the work done; • the faceted classification in tabular format; and • list of words, concepts, relations deleted and the new senses and relations created in UKC
