About Giovanni Tummarello

I am the ideator and (are or have been) chair of the Semantic Web Application and Perspective workshop series (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008), co chair of the Identifiers, Identities and Identifications (I3) workshop at WWW2007 (ESWC 08 edition). I served as mentor in a past edition Google Summer of Code (proposing a load of interesting projects, some of which have actually been implemented).

I lead the efforts of Sindice - currently the most comprehensive Search Engine for the Web of Data, and fathered other projecs among which Semantic Web Pipes - live fusion and processing of Semantic Web data, the award winning DBin Semantic Web client and most recently of Sig.ma a browser and automatic mashup generator for the web of data. I also worked and remain very interested in Multimedia Metadata. I the past years I created several tools for MPEG7 and participated in the the Multimedia Semantics W3C incubator group. Also i am the CEO of Sensible Logic a Semantic Web consulting company. 

I have been farely succesfull at funding acquisition and building a very strong team (mostly the guys behind Sindice). I participate in the Okkam consortium, in the Romulus consortium and the latest proposal i participated in IMP, ranked 1st (score 14.5/15) in the very busy category "Intelligent Content and Semantics" of the last EU ICT project call.

Clearly, I am no HTML wiz.

But why "Semantic Web"?

and then?

I have been gifted with skills to do  immaginative innovation and research so I wish to do as much as possible while i can.
