Technology has more often been associated with improvements in many domains. This is particularly true in the medical and health-care industry. This is a field where data collection is performed on a daily basis. With the advent of mobile technology, several methodologies for data collection have been adopted reducing the cost and time expanded to data collection. The focus of this paper is a proposed...
Information integration, interoperability and adaptation to evolving data are the key components of clinical information system with high potential impact. Most existing systems accomplish integration and interoperability by employing specific data model standards with static mapping rules that makes system inflexible and inextensible. In response to this drawback, we present Health-Connect system...
Semantic web search engine is the new generation of conventional web search engine that brings precise and meaningful information from the Internet. These new search engines answer user queries using Semantic Web Documents (SWDs) that are found in ontologies database. It is likely that a query may have more than one range in a domain. The semantic web search engines such as Hakia, Swoogle, and Watson...
The new form of education called "E-Learning" has grown significantly, especially in training institutions (Universities, Schools, Businesses, etc.). Consequently, they develop their software needs assessment in order to assess the information, and allow the learner to correct his knowledge autonomously. The teaching of languages takes place in the context of distance education and involves...
As the search efficiency is not high and it's difficult to find user's interested information, this paper proposes the combination of ant colony algorithm and ontology to create search engine. By the clear formal specification of body shared concept, the search engine has intelligent search features, and then it can use ontology to provide users' interested search results. In the process of ontology's...
This article presents an architecture for storing ontologically annotated medical images in a GRID. We will be able to extract information from the annotations, which are represented ontologically using RDF. We implement GRID services associated with the development of methodologies for ontological annotations of data contained in a Data Grid (specifically on the Storage Elements). We also provide...
Nowadays new product development involves different types of actors (technician, managers, board of directors) which must be able to share knowledge, experiences and work together efficiently. Each actor has a professional specialty and uses one or several software tools (CAO, project management tools, PLM tools …) dedicated to her specific activities. Each of these software tools produces different...
The widespread use of SOA (Service-oriented architecture) is making Web services, which now is used more frequently to manage interfaces and resources, more popular. The new value-added services, generated by Web service composition, provide more powerful and flexible features. It's a big challenge to manage these increasing services efficiently for providing a convenient developing environment, which...
Current state of the art intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are signature-based systems that detect threats and vulnerabilities by cross-referencing the threat or vulnerability signatures in their databases. These systems are incapable of taking advantage of heterogeneous data sources for analysis of system activities for threat detection. This work presents a situation-aware intrusion...
Currently there are a number of ontological tools available in handling heterogeneous data presented in the computing domain. However, there are no surveys available in evaluating the performance of these tools. In this paper, we provide an in-depth discussion on the state-of-the-art ontological tools and their application to the real world domain. First, we describe the operation of these tools,...
The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. It is also referred to as Web 3.0 and is an upcoming technology. The Semantic Web is a web of data. The Semantic Web is about two things: it is about common formats for integration and combination of data drawn...
One of the greatest benefits offered by cyber-physical systems is the potential for automated decision support, which can increase the intelligence and efficacy of environmental management. Agent-based modeling can facilitate the application of cyber infrastructure to environmental decision support, by abstracting physically-distributed and communication and control into the operation of one or more...
This paper describes the development of a language and reporting structure for pathologists in the reporting of oesophageal biopsies. Biopsies are needed to confirm a diagnosis after endoscopic procedures and it has been noted that differences of diagnosis exist between pathologists. An ontology is proposed that is expected to reduce the variations that currently exist. The reporting procedure was...
In this paper, we present an approach to facilitate the annotation and the retrieval of the image documents. Our approach is based on the definition and the generation of semantic rules presented via the logic of predicates. Then, we proposed the classification of these rules by a method of clustering Fuzzy C-means. For this, we used the method of co-citation to calculate the similarity measure between...
Data sharing is the basis of E-Government's construction in E-Government work. In this paper, a new ontology-based system structure has been presented, in which a resource ontology expression layer has been inserted into the traditional E-government system structure, which enabled the isomerous data resource from different system sharing. We use document ontology as an example, introduced how to create...
As the key point of the ontology research field, concept similarity computation has been widely used in the automatic question-answering systems. This paper firstly analyzes the existing concept similarity computation algorithm which is based on the semantic distance, and then proposes a new computation algorithm formula by modifying and adding some factors which can affect the accuracy of concept...
A construction method of knowledge transfer within virtual communities of practice based on semantic-level was proposed to promote the quality of knowledge transfer and boost knowledge sharing and innovation. First, characteristics of virtual communities of practice different from communities of practice and virtual communities were summed up. Then a knowledge integration framework was constructed...
With the wide application of web database, Web pages are continuously deepened. In order to use Deep Web resources effectively, the Deep Web data need to be integrated on a large scale, and data sources discover is the primary work of Deep Web resources integration. The Deep Web site found efficiently is the key of the Deep Web data Integration. This paper puts forward a kind of Deep Web entry automatic...
Currently most present web-based course still organized knowledge in accordance with sections. In view of the existing problems of the above knowledge organization form, this paper takes the curriculum of computer organization as an example to discuss ontology-based knowledge representation. In the extraction of concepts and their relationships, this paper not only borrows ideas from WorldNet, a quite...
In the past few years, there has been an explosive growth in scientific and legal information related to the patent system. Patents and related documents are siloed into multiple heterogeneous sources. Retrieving relevant information from diverse sources is a non-trivial task and poses many technical challenges. Among the challenges is the issue of terminological inconsistencies that are used in the...
