چکیده

Service Level Agreements (SLA) for multi-service Information Technology (IT) outsourcing contracts contain vast amounts of textual information. The SLAs provide details about a specific service, Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to measure its performance; as well as process elements, such as activities, events, and resources that are integral in achieving performance goals. However, KPIs and the process elements may be interrelated. The knowledge of such interrelationships is often tacitly present in the SLAs. The aim of our research is to extract this hidden information from IT service contracts and analyze them to empower customers of IT services to make better performance management and incentive decisions. We apply an OntologyBased Information Extraction (OBIE) approach in developing a prototype decision support framework, named SLA-Miner. The results, obtained from analyzing a set of Industry SLAs, demonstrate the utility of SLA-Miner in identifying KPI interrelationships, deficiencies, and impacts of various process elements on individual KPIs.

A protocol for constructing a domain-specific ontology for use in biomedical information extraction using lexical-chaining analysis

In order to do more semantics-based information extraction, we require specialized domain models. We develop a hybrid approach for constructing such a domain-specific ontology, which integrates key concepts from the protein-protein– interaction domain with the Gene Ontology. In addition, we present a method for using the domain-specific ontology in a discourse-based analysis module for analyzin...

An eXtreme method for developing lightweight ontologies

In this paper we propose a method for effective building of lightweight ontologies, applying the principles of eXtreme Programming. The method is based on a multi-layered approach, which combines the advantages of maximum monotonic extensibility with clarity of the desired terms. The method aims to make it easy to develop a simple ontology, being careful to avoid deviation between the user's ex...
