Querying and Reasoning for Spatiotemporal Data Mining
Manco G, Baglioni M, Giannotti F, Bart Kuijpers, Alessandra Raffaetà, Renso CIn the previous chapters, we studied movement data from several perspectives: the application opportunities, the type of analytical questions, the modeling requirements, and the challenges for mining. Moreover, the complexity of the overall analysis process was pointed out several times. The analytical questions posed by the end user need to be translated into several tasks such as choose analysismethods, prepare the data for application of these methods, apply the methods to the data, and interpret and evaluate the results obtained.

Analysis of DataCite for paper - dataset context propagation
Baglioni M.Scholarly communication graphs represent semantic relations between scientific products (papers, data, algorithms, etc), authors, organizations and research projects. In this context the aim is to find a way to measure the distance between papers and data (semantic correlation) to obtain a better data discovery. In fact, data metadata are poor, and the identification of a correlation distance between a paper (richer) and data allows to propagate the context (for example abstract) from the richer object to the other one

Exploring Scientometrics with the OpenAIRE Graph: Introducing the OpenAIRE Beginner's Kit
Andrea Mannocci, Miriam BaglioniThe OpenAIRE Graph is an extensive resource housing diverse information onresearch products, including literature, datasets, and software, alongsideresearch projects and other scholarly outputs and context. It stands as acornerstone among contemporary research information databases, offeringinvaluable insights for scientometric investigations. Despite its wealth ofdata, its sheer size may initially appear daunting, potentially hindering itswidespread adoption. To address this challenge, this paper introduces theOpenAIRE Beginner's Kit, a user-friendly solution providing access to a subsetof the OpenAIRE Graph within a sandboxed environment coupled with a Jupyternotebook for analysis. The OpenAIRE Beginner's Kit is meticulously designed todemocratise research and data exploration, offering accessibility from standarddesktop and laptop setups. Within this paper, we provide a brief overview ofthe included dataset and offer guidance on leveraging the kit through aselection of illustrative queries tailored to address common scientometricinquiries.

Building geospatial ontologies from geographical databases
Baglioni M, Masserotti M V, Renso C, Spinsanti LThe last few years have seen a growing interest in approaches that define methodologies to automatically extract semantics from databases by using ontologies. Geographic data are very rarely collected in a well organized way, quite often they lack both metadata and conceptual schema. Extracting semantic information from data stored in a geodatabase is complex and an extension of the existing methodologies is needed. We describe an approach to extract a geospatial ontology from geographical data stored in spatial databases. To provide geospatial semantics we introduce new relations which define geospatial ontology that can serve as a basis for an advanced user querying system. Some examples of use of the methodology in the urban domain are presented.

An ontology-based approach for the semantic modelling and reasoning on trajectories
Baglioni M, Macedo J, Renso C, Wachowicz MIn this paper we present a methodology for the semantic enrichment of trajectories. The objective of this process is to provide a semantic interpretation of a trajectory in term of behaviour. This has been achieved by enhancing raw trajectories with semantic information about moves and stops and by exploiting some domain knowledge encoded in an ontology. Furthermore, the reasoning mechanisms provided by the OWL ontology formalism have been exploited to accomplish a further semantic enrichment step that puts together the different levels of knowledge of the domain. A final example application shows the added power of the enrichment process in characterizing people behaviour.

Navigating the unfolding open data landscape in ecology and evolution
Culina A, Baglioni M, Crowther Tw, Visser Me, Woutersenwindhouwer S, Manghi POpen access to data is revolutionizing the sciences. To allow ecologists and evolutionary biologists to confidently find and use the existing data, we provide an overview of the landscape of online data infrastructures, and highlight the key points to consider when using open data. We introduce an online collaborative platform to keep a community-driven, updated list of the best sources that enable search for data in one interface. In doing so, our aim is to lower the barrier to accessing open data, and encourage its use by researchers hoping to increase the scope, reliability and value of their findings.Source: NATURE ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION, vol. 2 (issue 3), pp. 420-426

The OpenAIRE Research Graph Data Model
Manghi P, Bardi A, Atzori C, Baglioni M, Manola N, Schirrwagen J, Principe PThe purpose of the European OpenAIRE infrastructure is to facilitate, foster, support, and monitor Open Science scholarly communication in Europe. The infrastructure has been operational for almost a decade and successful in linking people, ideas and resources in support of the free flow, access, sharing, and re-use of research outcomes. To this aim it offers dissemination and training on Open Access and Open Science, facilitates exchange of knowledge, and operates the technical services required to facilitate and monitor Open Science publishing trends and research impact across geographic and discipline boundaries. OpenAIRE services populate a research graph whose objects are scientific results, organizations, funders, communities, organizations, and data sources. In this article we describe the data model, inspired by several existing metadata standards.DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2643199DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.2643198Project(s): OPENAIREPLUS ,

OpenAIRE Research Graph deduplication workflow
La Bruzzo Sf, Artini M, Atzori C, Bardi A, Baglioni M, De Bonis M, Mannocci A, Manghi P, Pavone GThe OpenAIRE aggregation workflow can collect metadata records from different providers about the same scholarly work. Each metadata record can carry different information because, for example, some providers are not aware of links to projects, keywords, or other details. Another typical case is when OpenAIRE collects one metadata record from a repository about a pre-print and another from a journal about the published article. To provide correct statistics, OpenAIRE must identify those cases and "merge" the two metadata records so that the scholarly work is counted only once in the statistics OpenAIRE produces. This technical Report describes the Deduplication workflow and technique adopted to deduplicate the OpenAIRE Graph.DOI: 10.32079/isti-tr-2022/032Project(s): OpenAIRE-Connect ,

Ontology-supported Querying of Geographical Databases
Baglioni M, Giovannetti E, Masserotti M V, Renso C, Spinsanti LQuerying geographical information systems has been recognized as a difficult task for non-expert users. Furthermore, user queries are often characterized by semantic aspects not directly managed by traditional spatial databases or GIS. Examples of such semantic geospatial queries are the use of implicit spatial relations between objects, or the reference of domain concepts not explicitly represented in data. To handle such queries, we envisage a system that translates natural language queries into spatial SQL statements on a database, thus improving standard GIS with new semantic capabilities. Within this general objective, the contribution of this article is to introduce a methodology to handle semantic geospatial queries issued over a spatial database. This approach captures semantics from an ontology built upon the spatial database and enriched by domain concepts and properties specifically defined to represent the localization of objects. Some examples of the use of the methodology in the urban domain are presented.Source: TRANSACTIONS IN GIS (ONLINE), vol. 12 (suppl. 1), pp. 31-44

Improving the business plan evaluation process: the role of intangibles
Turini F, Baglioni M, Bellandi A, Furletti B, Pratesi COne of the main objectives of the European MUSING project is to design and test software tools in order to support the activities of small and medium sized businesses. In this paper we examine financial risk management and, more specifically, the self-assessment of business plans. The role of intangible assets is discussed, and we report on how intangible assets can be collected, how they can be represented, taking into account their semantic relationships, and how they can be used to build an analytical tool for business plans. The basic technology embedded in the tool is the construction of classification trees, a well-known technique in inductive learning. We show how using knowledge of intangible assets can improve the construction of the classifier, as proved by the testing carried out so far.Source: QUALITY TECHNOLOGY & QUANTITATIVE MANAGEMENT, vol. 7 (issue 1), pp. 35-50

OpenAIRE - D4.1 OpenAIREdata model extension
Manghi P, Atzori C, Bardi A, Baglioni M, Zoppi FThe aim of this deliverable is to describe how the OpenAIRE data model is extended for the representation of artefacts different from publications and datasets. In particular, OpenAIRE-Connect extends the OpenAIRE data model with: (i) entities for there presentation of research communities, research methods and research packages; (ii) relationships between those new entities and the already existing OpenAIRE entities; (iii) new controlled vocabularies for properties of research methods and packages; and(iv) new termstobeaddedtocontrolledvocabulariesalreadyinusebytheOpenAIREinfrastructure. Requirements have been collected from the research communities involved in OpenAIRE-Connect, which helpedthedefinitionofthemodelextensionsbyspecifyingtheircurrentpracticeanddesiderataaboutthe publishingofresearchartefactsintheirspecificdiscipline.Inadditiontotherequirementsoftheresearch communities, requirements and expectations from the existing "consumers" of the OpenAIRE infrastructure, including data sources (providing content to OpenAIRE), portal end-users of various roles (researchers, project coordinators, general public, research communities), OpenAIRE data curators (responsibleoftheworkflowsforcollecting,harmonizing,de-duplicating,inferringcontent),andthird-party services(accessing content via APIs), have been considered. The data model will be subject to changes in the future, depending on the evolution of the requirements of the OpenAIRE infrastructure and of the communities involved in OpenAIRE-Connect.Project(s): OpenAIRE-Connect

The OpenAIRE research graph: third-party publishing APIs
Atzori C, Baglioni M, Bardi A, Manghi P, La Bruzzo S, De Bonis M, Dell'Amico A, Artini M, Mannocci A, Ottonello EThis work describes the specification of the OpenAIRE publishing APIs that support third-party services at publishing metadata about interlinked and packaged research products into the OpenAIRE Research Graph, in respect of the OpenAIRE interoperability guidelines (https://guidelines.openaire.eu). Research products generated by researchers using services of research infrastructures are today manually published by researchers in a repository external to their research infrastructure. This phase is often considered an extra burden, because researchers have to fill in metadata forms with information that is already available in the scope of the services they used. By using the OpenAIRE publishing APIs, services of research infrastructures can implement an on-demand publishing workflow for any type of research products to support their researchers at improving the FAIRness of their research products and relief them from the tedious step of finding a suitable repository and manually depositing the products in it.
