I am creating a database system that attempts to provide knowledge
related to the effectiveness of different kinds of interventions to
achieve a more sustainable society, particularly in regard to aging
populations and a need to reduce CO2 emissions.
Expert Knowledge Ontology-based Semantic Search
EKOSS (Expert Knowledge Ontology-based Semantic Search) has been developed
for sharing expert knowledge using semantic web technologies.
The website provides a collaborative knowledge sharing environment
where knowledge experts can submit advertisements of the knowledge
resources that they have developed, such as research papers, databases
and computer simulation models. It then allows users to make requests
for knowledge resources related to some condition or system problem
that they are studying. The semantic search system matches user
requests to knowledge resource advertisements using logical inference
based on any domain ontology that is registered to the system.
University on Textbook
University on Textbook (UoT) is a web-based system that helps undergraduate
students learn about research at their university through the medium of
textbooks. The system, called University on Textbooks, links textbooks
to research articles written by university researchers, enabling people
to navigate between introductory materials in textbooks and specific
topics reported in research articles. Bidirectional links are generated
from semantic statements created manually for topical passages from
textbooks and abstracts of articles. The semantic statements are created
using an ontology that is based on a description logic, so a reasoner can
infer the semantic similarity between pairs of statements.
