Work: Semantic Web Due to my the project I am currently working on, from the Semantic Web research area I am particularly interested in several issues regarding entities, namely: - the concept of context-free entities: limitations, drawbacks. Is identity between two entities a matter of context? - entity-based data integration, i.e. in how to integrate different knowledge sources once it is known that they refer to the same entity. Do we have to be careful to avoid inconsistencies? Should we use a quality mechanism able to discard less trustworthy information in case of conflicts? - entity identifiers: issues related to the identifier lifecycle such as how to guarantee persistency of identifiers when new knowledge causes the view on a particular entity to change (e.g. when we discover one entity is a duplicate of another one and its identifier should not be used) The domain where I want to apply this research is Bioinformatics and News. The former has a long experience in identifiers, while the latter is more open-ended in the sense that news can be about everything
