Healthcare knowledge acquisition: an ontology-based approach using the extensible markup language (XML).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The healthcare enterprise requires a great deal of knowledge to maintain premium efficiency in the delivery of quality healthcare. We employ Knowledge Management based knowledge acquisition strategies to procure 'tacit' healthcare knowledge from experienced healthcare practitioners. Situational, problem-specific Scenarios are proposed as viable knowledge acquisition and representation constructs. We present a healthcare Tacit Knowledge Acquisition Info-structure (TKAI) that allows remote healthcare practitioners to record their tacit knowledge. TKAI employs (a) ontologies for standardisation of tacit knowledge and (b) XML to represent scenario instances for their transfer over the Internet to the server-side Scenario-Base and for the global sharing of acquired tacit healthcare knowledge.

This paper presents a context mediation based approach for achieving interoperability among semantically heterogeneous learning objects and learners. The presented work is focused on building a common ontology for the domain of learning objects participating in data exchange. An ontological graph is proposed as a knowledge representation of the ontology, and methods for manipulating ontologies ...
متن کاملThe Automatic Acquisition of Product Knowledge in Recommender Systems
Knowledge based recommender systems can overcome the shortcomings of the traditional ones. To realize knowledge based recommender systems user requirements and resources on web such as information, products and services need to be described as knowledge uniformly. This paper explores the semantic description of products and the automatic acquisition of product knowledge from heterogeneous datab...

متن کاملAutomating Data Acquisition into Ontologies from Pharmacogenetics Relational Data Sources Using Declarative Object Definitions and XML
Ontologies are useful for organizing large numbers of concepts having complex relationships, such as the breadth of genetic and clinical knowledge in pharmacogenomics. But because ontologies change and knowledge evolves, it is time consuming to maintain stable mappings to external data sources that are in relational format. We propose a method for interfacing ontology models with data acquisiti...
متن کاملDevelopment of Electronic Acquisition Model for Project Scheduling (e- AMPS) Using Java-XML
During the construction phase, participants in a multi-contract project acquire external real-time scheduling information from other involved parties and use this to make appropriate decisions in regard to project control. There are two major obstacles to project participants gaining efficient access to external information in a distributed data environment: (1) the variety of data structures t...
