The topic of this research is about the exploration of the actual colour scenario, from an Italian perspective analysis to an international one, with the aim to understand the characteristics and the needs of a complex system of disciplines and…

Este artículo describe la integración de ontologías en formato OWL como
fuentes de conocimiento externas de un sistema de diálogo. El presente trabajo se
centra en conseguir un agente que gestione cualquier ontología independientemente
del dominio y sin perder expresividad…

This article considers aspects of the assimilation of academic research to town planning guidelines and policies, in particular research conducted in terms, and with methodologies, remote from practical town planning processes. It grew out of an interdisciplinary project examining the…
