Meloda 5: A metric to assess open data reusability

A Model to Assess Open Government Data in Public Agencies

In this article a maturity model is proposed, named OD-MM (Open Data Maturity Model) to assess the commitment and capabilities of public agencies in pursuing the principles and practices of open data. The OD-MM model has a three level hierarchical structure, called domains, sub-domains and critical variables. Four capacity levels are defined for each of the 33 critical variables distributed in ...

TINE: A Metric to Assess MT Adequacy

We describe TINE, a new automatic evaluation metric for Machine Translation that aims at assessing segment-level adequacy. Lexical similarity and shallow-semantics are used as indicators of adequacy between machine and reference translations. The metric is based on the combination of a lexical matching component and an adequacy component. Lexical matching is performed comparing bagsof-words wit...

Development and application of a novel metric to assess effectiveness of biomedical data

OBJECTIVE Design a metric to assess the comparative effectiveness of biomedical data elements within a study that incorporates their statistical relatedness to a given outcome variable as well as a measurement of the quality of their underlying data. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cohort consisted of 874 patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung, each with 47 clinical data elements. The p value for...

Reusability, open implementation and Java's dynamic proxies

In this paper we investigate the implications of Java’s dynamic proxies for supporting open architectures to implement reusable code. Dynamic proxies are interpreted as meta-objects, which define the behaviour of other objects and allow the implementation of meta-objects protocols.
