Carlo Bottai, member of the WebSight Observatory, received the Best Paper Award, sponsored by Banca Widiba, for presenting “Web-Augmenting the Italian Third Sector Register” to the 7th International Conference on Advanced Research Methods and Analytics (CARMA 2025).
The paper is coauthored with Francesco Trentini, Diletta Abbonato, and Anna Velyka, all post-doctoral researchers at the University of Milano-Bicocca, and it received funding from the “Bicocca Starting Grants 2023” of the University of Milano-Bicocca.
The authors propose an innovative framework that combines administrative data from the Italian register of third sector organizations (RUNTS) with information extracted from the websites of the organizations registered in the register, using linguistic models (LLM) to classify their economic activity according to the ICNPO classification.
