Profile summary

Professional biography

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. He has a PhD in Computer Science and is currently Research Fellow at the OU Knowledge Media Institute.

After playing key roles in projects developing intelligent systems for Ontology Engineering (NeOn) and Smart Cities (MK:Smart), his current research is exploring novel methods for data curation (policies and process knowledge) and the application of Knowledge Graphs in the humanities. He is currently engaged in two EU-funded projects: SPICE -- as co-investigator, and Polifonia -- as Technical Director and Principal Investigator for the OU.

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). Passionate about AI and its relevance for Humanities research, Enrico is founder of the WHiSe Workshop on Humanities in the Semantic Web and co-chair of the Artificial Intelligence and Music (AIM) DARIAH WG.

 

Research interests

Enrico’s research is exploring novel methods for knowledge acquisition and curation and the application of Knowledge Graphs in domains such as Smart Cities and Cultural Heritage.

Current research interests include:

  • Knowledge graphs construction and applications
  • Hybrid methods for Knowledge Extraction
  • AI-supported Scholarship in the Humanities
  • Computational Policies (Licences, Digital Rights)
  • Privacy-aware Intelligent Systems
  • Heterogeneous data management infrastructures
