Exploring Sentiment in Social Media and Official Statistics: a General Framework

The integration between official statistics and social media data is a challenging topic. This contribution aims to present a recentlydesigned framework to compare sentiment analysis on social media content with social and economic data. Such framework which has already been applied, in a preliminary fashion, to the Felicittà project is meant to integrate official statistics and correlate it with online social media data. Its ultimate goal, in fact, namely consists in giving a contribution to the definition of a measure of subjective well-being that could fully benefit from both traditional, well-established social indicators and dynamic data obtained from the web.
