Biography
In July, 2004, he was awarded the TR100 prize by the Technology Review (the best 100 researchers in the world under the age of 35).
He is Professor in Computer Science at the University of Padua, and Research Scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in the World Wide Web Consortium.
He was the creator of HyperSearch, the first search engine where the results were based not only on single pages ranks, but also on the relationship between the single pages and the rest of the web. Afterwards, Google co-founders Page and Brin cited HyperSearch when they introduced PageRank.[1]
He is one of the authors of the world standard for privacy on the Web, P3P.
He started the XML Query effort at W3C, and is one of the authors of the XQuery family of world standard for querying information on the Web.
He is also one of the authors of the Web Ontology Language (OWL), the world standard for reasoning on the Web.
He is currently teaching the courses "Computer Networks and Security" and "Web Technologies 2", at the University of Padua, Italy.
Since April 2010 he is the Chief Technology Officer of Atomium Culture.[2]
In February 2012, Marchiori launched Volunia, a web-based search application which makes it possible to search for something and also to meet other people who are searching for the same thing. He calls this method "Seek and meet." Another feature set of Volunia is a toolbar that makes a personal map of the website with all of its sections, and a media button that shows all media within it. Finally, the "Social Box" shows how many others are browsing or have browsed the site you are on, as well as allows you to contact or connect with them.,[3][4]
