Proactively Composing Web Services as Tasks by Semantic Web Agents
2011
This chapter presents the framework for agent-enabled dynamic composition of Semantic Web services. The approach and the framework have been developed in several research and development projects by ISRG and IOG. The core of the methodology is the new understanding of a Semantic Web service as a capability of an intelligent software agent supplied with the proper ontological description. It is demonstrated how diverse Web services may be composed and mediated by dynamic coalitions of software agents collaboratively performing tasks for service requestors. Middle agent layer is introduced to conduct the transformation of a Web service request to the corresponding task, agent-enabled cooperat…
Using association rules to assess purchase probability in online stores
2016
The paper addresses the problem of e-customer behavior characterization based on Web server log data. We describe user sessions with the number of session features and aim to identify the features indicating a high probability of making a purchase for two customer groups: traditional customers and innovative customers. We discuss our approach aimed at assessing a purchase probability in a user session depending on categories of viewed products and session features. We apply association rule mining to real online bookstore data. The results show differences in factors indicating a high purchase probability in session for both customer types. The discovered association rules allow us to formu…
Definition of a Workflow for Web Browsing of 3D Models in Archaeology
2016
The Cultural Heritage (CH) is a fundamental element of promotion of territories and of tourism development. Publishing 3D models of archaeological sites and their three-dimensional reconstruction on the Web is one of the best ways to spread their knowledge. However, many recent scientific researches in this field have highlighted the limitations and difficulties related to the networking of interactive 3D models. The main difficulties are related to the complexity and the size of models, which influence the access speed, and the cost of software and hardware needed for the publication on the WEB. In light of this background, this article describes the further advances of research activities…

The premium price for Italian red wines in new world wine consuming countries: the case of the Russian market
2017
Italian wine is increasingly appreciated in new world consumer countries and, in particular, in Russia where consumers associate its consumption with an Italian lifestyle. In this paper, market value for wine search attributes is measured through the estimation of a hedonic price model using online data from a Wine Searcher website and the information contained in the labels of wines marketed in Russia. Results show a premium price for wines from Piedmont and Tuscany, and in particular for non-native varieties and for Indicazione Geografica Tipica and Protected Geographical Indication wines. Additionally, vintage and higher alcohol content have a significant positive impact on the prices th…

The Resilience of the Valley of Temples Among Natural Calamities and Social Disaster
2017
Preservation of the cultural heritage, intended as common patrimony, is a cultural achievement that in territories like Sicily, which has often suffered the lack of legality, is the result of a difficult process of implementation. Cultural heritage is not ruined exclusively by natural calamities: damages caused by social and cultural disasters may at times be even more devastating. The archeological park of Agrigento, born in 1947 after a natural disaster (a landslide in 1944), hides a history of a half century of battles between the illegal land use and legislative measures to protect a cultural heritage recognized worldwide (registered in the WHL in 1997). After fifty years of attacks aga…
FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS OURS… NOW IT BELONGS TO ALL OF HUMANITY”: WORLD HERITAGE AS THE EXPRESSION OF CONFLICTS
2020
Resumen: En este artículo nos interesa reflexionar sobre la naturaleza conflictiva del patrimonio, que suele ser silenciada por su potente imaginario como capital cultural, económico y social y como signo de distinción. A través de un análisis detallado del proceso mediante el cual el tango y las fallas pasaron a formar parte de la Lista Representativa del Patrimonio de la Humanidad, nos adentramos en las dimensiones hegemónicas y de los procesos patrimoniales, así como en la esencia beligerante de las resistencias locales que se enfrentan a las lógicas del patrimonio neoliberal. Estos casos nos permiten vislumbrar las relaciones conflictivas que a menudo se establecen entre distintas lógic…
