My name is Jorge Gracia del Río. I currently work as Associate Professor (“Profesor Titular de Universidad”) at the Department of Computer Science and Systems Engineering (University of Zaragoza, Spain) as a member of the Aragon Institute of Engineering Research (I3A) and of the Distributed Information Systems research group.
Until April 2024 I was Chair of NexusLinguarum, the “European network for Web-centred linguistic data science”, a COST Action that joined the effort of over 200 researchers from 42 countries. Currently, I am Vice-Chair of the Goblin COST Action, the “Global Network on Large-Scale, Cross-domain and Multilingual Open Knowledge Graphs”. I’m also participating in the 4D PICTURE project, “Design-based Data-Driven Decision-support Tools: Producing Improved Cancer Outcomes Through User-Centred Research”.
I am the coordinator of the European project CLASiK: “Cross-lingual Accesss to Scientific Knowledge”, a project of the CHIST-ERA-2025 call, about the aplication of NLP and Neuro-symbolic AI to reduce language barriers in scientific research, particularly in the domain of climatology.
In recent years I was Principal Investigator of Prêt-à-LLOD “Ready-to-use Multilingual Linked Language Data for Knowledge Services across Sectors” and Lynx “Legal Knowledge Graph for Multilingual Compliance Services” EU H2020 projects.
From 2009 to 2017 I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Ontology Engineering Group (OEG), Artificial Intelligence Department, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain.
My main research interests are Semantic Web, Ontology Matching, Multilingual Web of Data, and Neuro-symbolic Artificial Intelligence (particularly, how linguistic linked data and knowledge graphs enhance the linguistic and multilingual capabilities of language models). I am also interested on methods and techniques for cross-lingual linking and cross-lingual information access.
