The Epistemological-Ontological Divide in Clinical Radiology

Medical ontologies like GALEN, the FMA or SNOMED represent a kind of "100% certain" medical knowledge which is not inherent to all medical sub-domains. Clinical radiology uses computerized imaging techniques to make the human body visible and interprets the imaging findings in a clinical context delivering a textual report. For clinical radiology few standardized vocabularies are available. We ...

Epistemological and Ontological Representation in Software Engineering

This paper provides an overview of how empirical research can be a valid approach to improve epistemological foundations and ontological representations in Software Engineering (SE). Despite of all the research done in SE, most of the results have not been yet been stated as laws, theories, hypothesis or conjectures, i.e., from an epistemological point of view. This paper explores such facts an...
