This paper presents a comprehensive socio-technical framework for the design and development of a Clinical and Translational Science Informatics Infrastructure (CTSII). Based on our experience with developing and applying the framework we present a case study to illustrate the issues that arise...

The objective of Clinical and Translational Science (CTS) is to reduce the time-to-practice of biomedical scientific discoveries, and the time-to-research of clinical and community health care issues. The guiding mission of the Biomedical Informatics Infrastructure (BII) is to provide the...

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...

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',...

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....

We present an ontological framework to capture the complex problem of managing the role of Triple Helix in the global agenda for innovation, competitiveness, and sustainability. The framework yields a comprehensive natural language elucidation of the problem using a structured terminology. It...

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...
