George works in the domain of semantic representation of cultural heritage data using formal ontologies, particularly, CIDOC CRM. He was an Experienced Researcher in the Marie Curie project ITN Digital Cultural Heritage, where he worked on the issues of semantic representation of 3 and 4 dimensional models. In collaboration with other fellows, he produced a number of publications on the issue of documenting data provenance for digital models from the digitization process through to virtual reconstructions. Presently, George works in the PARTHENOS project on conceptualizing the semantic framework for a cross disciplinary research infrastructure.

Nicola CARBONI is a Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher fellow in the CNRS MAP and part of the ITN-DCH Marie Curie Project, where he is responsible for developing a semantic structure for correlating visual items with contextual information. He received his Bachelor degree in Cultural Heritage from the University of Pisa and an international Master degree in Digital Library Learning from the joint consortium of the Tallinn University, Oslo and Akershus College of Applied Science and the University of Parma in 2013. He worked with the CVCE to develop a semantic schema able to enrich bibliographical information, and afterwards he joined, as data curator & modeler, the Trentino Open Data project, where he collaborated with a multidisciplinary team for opening and describing the public administration data. His research interests are Data Management, Semantic Web, Cultural Heritage and Digital Preservation.
