Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) rests largely on information flowing smoothly at multiple levels, in multiple directions, across multiple locations. Hence, Biomedical Informatics (BI) is seen as a backbone that can help to manage the information flows for the process of translation....

Finding a good match in the C-Suite is critical for maximizing business value and capitalizing on competitive advantages. This study analyzes the roles of controllers in organizational descriptions and executives' profiles, as they both define the position and craft the profession. This paper...

This paper presents on ontological framework to envision a construction project management system (CPMS). The framework has five dimensions: Outcomes, Stages, Resources, Processes and Management techniques. Each dimension is defined by a taxonomy derived from the literature and practice. The...

We propose ontology mapping as a method to study higher education systems systematically and systemically. The method can be used to synthesize extant data from multiple sources to visualize the ‘big picture' of the state-of-the-aspiration of the system, and analyse the ‘bright', ‘light',...

This paper presents an ontology of a cyberenvironment for malaria surveillance. The ontology encapsulates a comprehensive natural language enumeration of the requirements of the cyberenvironment using a structured terminology. It can be used to systematically analyze and prioritize the functions...

The semiotic web for translational medicine generalizes the concept of the semantic web. We present the functions of the semiotic web as a simple ontology with three dimensions, namely: (a) the four steps of semiotics, (b) the two processes in semiotics, and (c) the four types of research. The...

Many of today's problems are complex, ill-structured, and plastic. They include, among others, problems such as reducing the cost and improving the effectiveness of health care, fostering entrepreneurship and innovation at all levels of society, catalyzing the sharing of knowledge, and ensuring...

We envision a world-class university system for India using a simple ontology from which a large number of potential 'visions' can be derived systematically, each applicable to a higher education institution. Some visions may not make sense intuitively; and some, although sensible, may not map...

We present an ontological analysis of the problem of fostering knowledge sharing in project management. The ontology has five dimensions derived by parsing the problem statement, namely: (a) fostering methods, (b) fostering factors, (c) fostering functions, (d) knowledge types, and (e) knowledge...
