An Ontological Representation for the Transtheoretical Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ontologies are widely used in computer science and medicine. Ontologies may be useful in health promotion and disease prevention for intervention development. Interventionists usually use theory to guide intervention design and evaluation, but there is no standard vocabulary for health behavior theory. A formal mechanism for converting theory to a computer-based representation may provide a tool that can assist in the development of computer-based interventions. This paper demonstrates how ontology can be used to represent a health behavior theory using the Transtheoretical Model (TTM) of behavior change as an example. Keywords—Ontology; Health Behavior Theory; Transtheoretical Model

متن کاملA Kabbalah System Theory of Ontological and Knowledge Engineering for Knowledge Based Systems
Using the Kabbalah system theory (KST) developed in [1], [2], we propose an ontological engineering for knowledge representation of domains in terms of concept systems in knowledge based systems in artificial intelligence. KST is also used for the knowledge engineering of the knowledge model building based on ontology. KST provides thus an integrative, unifying, domain independent framework for...
