Gioele Barabucci
----------------
**Norwegian University of Science and Technology**
Gioele Barabucci is an associate professor of Computer Science at the Norwegian
University of Science and Technology. Previously he was managing director of the
Cologne Center for eHumanities of the University of Cologne and a Marie Curie
Experienced Researcher. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the
University of Bologna.
His main research topics are the design of knowledge (how to represent and store
information) and the evolution of information (understanding and forecasting how
data and its structure will change over time). Concretely, this means studying
comparison algorithms, devising versioning systems, formalizing document models,
as well as researching ontologies, legal documents and multilingual systems.
He is currently working on the formalization of the concept of "document
evolution": how documents change through time due to human edits, changes of
format, translations, and so on. In the past he has worked on collation systems
for large-scale critical editions (Capitularia, Averroes), the Cologne Sanskrit
Dictionary, the Akoma Ntoso standard for legal documents and many other academic
and open source projects. https://gioele.io
