has a call for 1 research grant (1 year, 19.000€ pre-tax) for a person (less than 35 years old and PhD) which will work with geolat research team to the construction of a geographical ontology which will be used in the annotation/markup of a latin texts corpus; moreover, this person will participate to the setup of the software prototype of the annotation working environment.
geolat project (geography for latin literature), has three scopes:
1) building a global digital library of latin;
2) tagging every geographical name both recurring to existing resources and creating a geographical ontology for classical texts/world;
3) allowing scholars to access the geographically tagged texts through a geo/graphic interface.
the interdisciplinary team needs a person able to finalize the decisions of the group about the geographical ontology, and to build/integrate the specific parts of ontology for latin texts with other already existing ontologies.
the candidate should have a solid background in computer science, computational ontologies and RDF, with no constraints on the domain where s/he got this knowledge: computer science, information engineering, or cognitive sciences.
the call is written in Italian language, interested people can ask for explanations to m.lana@lett.unipmn.it.
knowledge of Italian language is not requested; good knowledge of English as interaction language is requested. residence in italy is not requested
the call is really open to anyone interested.
should the grant appear not completely satisfactory, here the candidate can find a very advanced field of activity not so easily available elsewhere...
