TITLE: Using semantics for supporting tax investigation
Tax investigtion (discovering tax evasion) is one of the most data intensive activities in e-government. It requires the ability to combine data from highly heterogeneous sources and then to make use of this wealth of data to discover irregular behaviours of tax payers. In this talk, I will present how we used semantic technologies to support our regional tax agency “Trentino Riscossioni” and to provide tax inspectors with a large-scale browsable knowledge base built on top of several data sources. In particular, I will highlight the innovative entity-centric approch that was taken in this project, which makes use of OKKAM technologies. The new tool has reduced the time for data collection from about 1 month to a few seconds, and this will hopefully lead to an increase in tax collection from evaders.
