CNR-STLAB team will present a subset of MARIO semantic capabilities at the 24th International World Wide Web Conference, to be held in Florence, Italy 18-22 May 2015.
MARIO was presented during the 5th International Nursing and Midwifery Conference held on 30 and 31 March 2015 in Galway, Ireland. The conference provides an opportunity for researchers, practitioners and policy makers to get together to learn, debate and share methods of building and promoting excellence in practice – thus making it the ideal place for presenting MARIO and sharing our ideas for the future!
