PhD Course: Knowledge Organization and Representation

Published May 19, 2026 - 15:30

This course aims to teach ways of formally representing knowledge using structured knowledge organization systems and, above all, ontologies, to enable the students to understand and effectively apply principles and techniques of representation and organization of knowledge currently used to index, classify, and provide access to information resources.

Lectures will be focused on both theory and methodology in the modelling of specialized domains, and in the use of representations for automatic classification and handling of information, and automated reasoning. During the course, emphasis will be placed on concepts and on the main features of ontologies, with appropriate attention to their application.
