\begin{abstract}
The RFX-mod experiment, now evolving into RFX-mod2, is an operational magnetically confined plasma physics experiment, located at Consorzio RFX premises, focused on studying the physics of fusion plasmas and magnetic confinement in Reversed Field Pinch (RFP) configuration.
During the experiment, several significant improvements were made to the experimental setup, including mechanical modifications, updates to the electrical configuration, and enhancements to the CODAS (Control, Data Access, and Communication Systems). These changes, designed to increase the efficiency and reliability of the machine, will also provide researchers with an increasing amount of diagnostics, opening a view of the plasma phenomena with an unprecedented level of detail. This comes with a new challenge of handling such a large amount of data.
This thesis presents the implementation of a unified platform to streamline experimental data access and documentation. The primary objective is to facilitate advanced data analytics by integrating a web-based application for managing semantic information from the experiment logbook with a query engine for efficient scientific data access. By providing a more accessible and integrated framework for data analysis, this unified system aims to improve the efficiency and reliability of the overall research workflow.

\begin{abstract}[it]
L'esperimento RFX-mod, attualmente in evoluzione nella configurazione RFX-mod2, è un impianto operativo di fisica del plasma a confinamento magnetico situato presso il Consorzio RFX, che ha come obiettivo principale lo studio della fisica dei plasmi da fusione e il confinamento magnetico in configurazione Reversed Field Pinch (RFP).
Nel corso dell'esperimento sono stati apportati numerosi miglioramenti significativi alle modalità di sperimentazione, tra cui interventi di natura meccanica, aggiornamenti dell'impianto elettrico e miglioramenti del sistema CODAS (Control, Data Access, e Communication Systems). Questi interventi, mirati ad aumentare l'efficienza e l'affidabilità del sistema sperimentale, aiuteranno anche i ricercatori a ottenere una quantità maggiore di strumenti diagnostici, permettendo loro di osservare i fenomeni relativi al plasma con un livello di dettaglio senza precedenti. Ciò comporta però una nuova sfida: la gestione di elevate quantità di dati di natura eterogenea.
Questa tesi tratta l'implementazione di una piattaforma unificata per la semplificazione dell'accesso ai dati sperimentali e alla documentazione. L'obiettivo principale è quello di facilitare l'analisi avanzata dei dati, integrando in un unico sistema: una applicazione web per la gestione delle informazioni semantiche provenienti dal logbook sperimentale e un motore di estrapolazione efficiente dei dati scientifici. Con la creazione di un framework più accessibile e integrato per l'analisi dei dati, questo sistema unificato mira a migliorare l'efficienza e l'affidabilità dell'intero flusso di lavoro della ricerca.
