Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRiccardo Albertoni is a Senior Researcher at CNR-IMATI with over a decade focused on knowledge management and linked data, blending academic rigor from a PhD in Electronic and Computer Engineering with hands-on semantic web engineering. He has co-edited multiple W3C recommendations including DCAT v2 and v3, chairs DCAT task force activities, and drives practical linked data deployments for environmental thesauri such as EARTh and the Nature Conservation Common Thesaurus. His research pioneers context-dependent asymmetric semantic similarity and semantic granularity, embodied in the open SSONDE framework that ranks and compares RDF resources. Beyond standards and tooling, he develops novel linkset-quality measures to help consumers judge when to trust or complement interlinked datasets—a pragmatic yet underappreciated contribution to LOD quality. Based in Genoa, he combines long-term research leadership with active contributions to EU projects and national portals for historical and environmental data.
