Using a domain taxonomy for the analysis of structure and level of research: A multifaceted project in semantic data analysis

It appears much of my efforts in the past decade went into this project even if unconsciously. I am going to present results in three of its facets: (a) analysis of the structure of research by a research organization using a taxonomy of the domain and optimal lifting to higher ranks of the taxonomy (this has been inspired by L. Moniz Pereira and further advanced by a funded project led by S. Nascimento in CENTRIA (2007-11); (b) measuring the level of research results, arguably for the first time internationally, and combining that with multiple other criteria of research impact (citation and merit), so that on our sample Hirsch index vanishes by itself; (c) defining and using a string-to-text relevance measure to get a reliable tool for automating data collection in both of the facets (a) and (b), with an experimental comparison of three different approaches.
