Abstract
In this paper, we propose a similarity-based approach for microdata classification based on tagging, matching and clouding techniques. The goal is to construct entity-centric microdata clouds where similar microdata items can be properly arranged to highlight their relevance with respect to a selected target entity according to different notions of relevance defined in the paper. An application example is provided, based on a microdata collection extracted from a real microblogging system.
