Senso Comune, an Italian project for incorporating common sense into automa

Common sense is the most human portion of human knowledge. It's all about the cognitive patterns that are proper, and sometimes exclusive, to human experience and that are considered so obvious that they are often overlooked. Consider the following statement:

You start getting hungry again a few hours after eating a meal.

This is not normally coded in ontologies, but all humans recognise it as being true, having experienced it in their own lifes.
Automatic reasoners that incorporate common sense are keen to reason more like humans, as they know the subtleties of being such, with a body, with needs, with emotions, with feelings.
One of the most remarkable project of common sense elicitation for the English speaking world can be found here.
For Italian speakers, I would like to mention a similar project, called Senso Comune, supported by the Fondazione IBM Italia. The wiki of the project and the project itself are hosted by the Laboratory for Applied Ontology and can be found here.
