Pier Luigi researches and develops advanced, operational-grade, and internationally adopted knowledge representation (KR) technologies for ecology, planetary science, and Sustainable Development. He applies these solutions in mobilising and analysing complex and high-dimensional data sets, while leading community efforts to enhance global interoperability, particularly in the marine life sciences. The goal of his work is to use data science to better bridge scientific data, information, and knowledge with operations, applications, policy, and society.
He leads the Environment Ontology (ENVO) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) and serves on the Operations Committee of the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry and Library (www.obofoundry.org) and co-chairs the Semantic Technology Committee of the Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP; www.esipfed.org). To use KR to support the future of ocean science, he leads the technical development of the UNESCO/IOC-IODE Ocean Best Practices System (www.oceanbestpractices.org) and is helping to shape the UNESCO/IOC Ocean Data Information System (ODIS).
