A VIRTUAL HUB BROKERING APPROACH FOR INTEGRATION OF HISTORICAL AND MODERN MAPS
2016
Geospatial data are today more and more widespread. Many different institutions, such as Geographical Institutes, Public Administrations, collaborative communities (e.g., OSM) and web companies, make available nowadays a large number of maps. Besides this cartography, projects of digitizing, georeferencing and web publication of historical maps have increasingly spread in the recent years. In spite of these variety and availability of data, information overload makes difficult their discovery and management: without knowing the specific repository where the data are stored, it is difficult to find the information required and problems of interconnection between different data sources and th…
Biased graph walks for RDF graph embeddings
2017
Knowledge Graphs have been recognized as a valuable source for background information in many data mining, information retrieval, natural language processing, and knowledge extraction tasks. However, obtaining a suitable feature vector representation from RDF graphs is a challenging task. In this paper, we extend the RDF2Vec approach, which leverages language modeling techniques for unsupervised feature extraction from sequences of entities. We generate sequences by exploiting local information from graph substructures, harvested by graph walks, and learn latent numerical representations of entities in RDF graphs. We extend the way we compute feature vector representations by comparing twel…
Sex differences in mate preferences across 45 countries: a large-scale replication
2020
Considerable research has examined human mate preferences across cultures, finding universal sex differences in preferences for attractiveness and resources as well as sources of systematic cultural variation. Two competing perspectives-an evolutionary psychological perspective and a biosocial role perspective-offer alternative explanations for these findings. However, the original data on which each perspective relies are decades old, and the literature is fraught with conflicting methods, analyses, results, and conclusions. Using a new 45-country sample (N = 14,399), we attempted to replicate classic studies and test both the evolutionary and biosocial role perspectives. Support for unive…
View of Open Government: in Italy and in the Sicilian Region
2017
The web, if used in connection with Open Government practices, it becomes anextraordinary controlling method not only to attack inefficiencies, corruption and badadministration, but also to promote transparency and develop participation practices.Complete transparency and open data represents lawfulness and efficiency outpostswhich are absolutely necessary to public administrations, because they are the newfrontier of citizenship rights and participatory democracy.This paper argues in favour of the anti-corruption provisions applications and thesubsequent applicator decree (Laws no. 190/2012 and 124/2015 and legislative decrees 33/2013 and now 97/2016) for the purposes of complete administr…
Open data from the first and second observing runs of advanced LIGO and advanced Virgo

Sustainable user-driven innovation supporting Open Government policies- A System Dynamics perspective applied to the Municipality of Palermo-
Going beyond a technocratic e-government paradigm, this research aims at analyzing how, through the two-ways interaction supported by Web 2.0 technology, skilled external collaboration and knowledge-sharing between citizens and public administrations can offer new ways of citizen participation, enhancing political decision-making process and public value creation. Particularly, the purpose is to investigate how skilled citizens can serve as contributors to tasks that are traditionally performed by designated civil servants and now are outsourced to an undefined, generally large group of people, in the form of an open call for contributions. To this end, we have conducted a field research in…
Considerazioni su amministrazione aperta e protezione dei dati personali
2015
Il diritto alla trasparenza totale ed alla conoscibilità delle decisioni amministrative nell'ordinamento italiano invera appieno il principio di pubblicità nelle istituzioni, con riferimento all'esercizio della funzione amministrativa e costituisce diretta applicazione dei principi di legalità, buon andamento, responsabilità e imparzialità della P.A. sanciti dall'art. 97 Cost. e del diritto alla buona amministrazione (art. 41 CDFUE).La trasparenza va quindi intesa come mezzo attraverso il quale le istituzioni pubbliche rendono conto delle proprie decisioni alla collettività garantendo la pubblicità di atti, documenti, informazioni e dati di pertinenza delle pubblica amministrazione ed il pr…
Supporting Learning Activities in the Health Sector through Open Data
2015
The growing availability of Open Data for educational purposes is playing a key role in shaping and influencing the development of the learning processes. At the same time, Open Data have a particular potential in the health sector so that the major healthcare organizations, universities, colleges, and medical schools are in the process of creating high quality 'Open' education & training resources and tools. However, in this growing world of open health resources for educational purposes, the task of finding the right material can become very difficult mainly when using a general purpose search engine like google. Thus, to overcome this problem and facilitate the search and learning ac…
Integración de una base de datos de procedencias en el entorno MARC y de datos enlazados: el caso de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
2022
En este artículo se presenta, a grandes rasgos, el trabajo llevado a cabo durante los últimos años en la Biblioteca Nacional de España, para normalizar e integrar la información de antiguos poseedores en su catálogo automatizado, adaptando la información de procedencias al formato MARC, y desde ahí, darle salida a través del ecosistema de datos enlazados de la biblioteca, a un entorno más dinámico que permite ofrecer un buscador especializado en el portal datos.bne.es
Mappe della contemporaneità. Visualizzare la complessità per vivere, comprendere, partecipare.
2020
Si propone una riflessione sulle modalità di visualizzazioni della complessità di contesti territoriali, rese possibili dalle tecnologie dell’informazione connesse agli open data; uno scenario che evidenzia la rilevanza oggi di strumenti e competenze del design della comunicazione e dell’informazione, proponendo una nuova centralità della “mappa”, strumento e modello contemporaneamente di conoscenza, rappresentazione e trasformazione del mondo. Il contributo indaga come le diverse declinazioni di visual mapping, che connettono un contesto reale fisico-geografico ai molteplici livelli di informazione disponibili, possono alimentare nei cittadini consapevolezza e partecipazione a supporto di …
