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...

This paper presents an ontology of ubiquitous learning based on three dimensions of ubiquity: temporal, semiotic, and spatial ubiquity, and two dimensions of learning: entities and technologies. A simple taxonomy is used to denote each dimension. Thus the ontology has five dimensions with...

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',...

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...

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 present ontological meta-analysis and synthesis as a method for reviewing, mapping, and visualizing the research literature in a domain cumulatively, logically, systematically, and systemically. The method will highlight the domain’s bright spots which are heavily emphasized, the light...

We present ontological meta-analysis and synthesis of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) as a method for reviewing, mapping, and visualizing the research literature in the domain cumulatively, logically, systematically, and systemically. The method will highlight the...

An ontological map of meaningful use of healthcare information systems (MUHIS) is the visualization of its requirements and practices using an ontology. We map (a) the Stages 1 and 2 meaningful use requirements set by the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) for Electronic Health...
