Biography

Daniel Gomes was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1977 and grew up in Odivelas. From a young age, he showed a great interest in the field of Computer Science, which led him to enroll at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, where he completed his degree in Computer Science in 2001. He was a researcher at the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (ICAT) [1] and at the Large-Scale Informatics Systems Laboratory (LaSIGE). [2]

He later completed his PhD in Computer Engineering in 2007 at the University of Lisbon, with a thesis focused on designing large-scale systems for processing web data to automatically derive evolution trends (Big data). [3]

Following his scientific research, he founded the Portuguese Web Archive project at the Foundation for National Scientific Computing, which led to the public service Arquivo.pt managed by the Foundation for Science and Technology. [4]

Between 2004 and 2010, he contributed to an attempt to create a Portuguese IT Workers Union. [5]

Voluntarily, he has been an environmental activist for a sustainable circular economy. He founded the civic movement TaraRecuperavel.org in 2012 to raise awareness about environmental sustainability in Portugal and collaborated with ecological non-governmental organizations such as Quercus (organization), Brigada do Mar, and the APLM - Portuguese Marine Litter Association. He contributed to environmental sustainability laws. [6] [7] [8] Between 2012 and 2021, he was the author of AjoLogoExisto, a blog about activism and civic awareness.

Notable Works

In 2007, Daniel Gomes founded Arquivo.pt, an initiative supported by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and managed by the Foundation for National Scientific Computing (FCCN). Arquivo.pt is a public service that allows searching and accessing archived web pages from the Portuguese web since 1996, being one of the main tools for digital preservation in Portugal. [9]

Daniel Gomes dedicated a large part of his career to the creation and development of the public service Arquivo.pt. For this purpose, he had to overcome a wide range of challenges over time, as a web archive is a peculiar information system not supported by major providers, nor is Web archiving an established area of knowledge. [10] [11]

Daniel Gomes has been working on the research, development, and operation of web-based information systems since 2001, covering all stages of a product's life cycle, from theoretical scientific hypotheses to successfully executed services for years. He has managed software teams and open-source projects since 2007. [12]

In 2006, he created Visibilidade.net, a pioneering website that shared knowledge about Search Engine Optimization, Usability, and Web accessibility.

He has given more than 200 invited lectures and has published scientific and technical documents. He was an independent expert to evaluate research activities funded by the European Commission on Information and Communication Technologies and editor-in-chief of the book "The Past Web: Exploring Web Archives". [13]

Daniel Gomes has been one of the main advocates for the importance of preserving digital memory. Under his coordination, Arquivo.pt has become a national and international reference, being used by researchers, journalists, and the general public.

Daniel Gomes is a researcher in the field of web-based information systems. He has contributed with several scientific publications and participated in research projects aimed at improving how digital information is stored, preserved, and retrieved. [14]
