The role of ontologies in creating and maintaining corporate knowledge: a case study from the aero industry
No full textThe Designers’ Workbench is a system, developed to support designers in large organizations, such as Rolls-Royce, by making sure that the design is consistent with the specification for the particular design as well as with the company’s design rule book(s). The evolving design is described against a jet engine ontology. Currently, to capture the constraint information, a domain expert (design engineer) has to work with a knowledge engineer to identify the constraints, and it is then the task of the knowledge engineer to encode these into the Workbench’s knowledge base (KB). This is an error prone and time consuming task. It is highly desirable to relieve the knowledge engineer of this task, and so we have developed a tool, ConEditor+ that enables domain experts themselves to capture and maintain these constraints. The tool allows the user to combine selected entities from the domain ontology with keywords and operators of a constraint language to form a constraint expression. Further, we hypothesize that to apply constraints appropriately, it is necessary to understand the context in which each constraint is applicable. We refer to this as “application conditions”. We show that an explicit representation of application conditions, in a machine interpretable format, along with the constraints and the domain ontology can be used to support the verification and maintenance of constraints

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Constraint capture and maintenance in engineering design
No full textThe Designers' Workbench is a system, developed by the Advanced Knowledge Technologies (AKT) consortium to support designers in large organizations, such as Rolls-Royce, to ensure that the design is consistent with the specification for the particular design as well as with the company's design rule book(s). In the principal application discussed here, the evolving design is described against a jet engine ontology. Design rules are expressed as constraints over the domain ontology. Currently, to capture the constraint information, a domain expert (design engineer) has to work with a knowledge engineer to identify the constraints, and it is then the task of the knowledge engineer to encode these into the Workbench's knowledge base (KB). This is an error prone and time consuming task. It is highly desirable to relieve the knowledge engineer of this task, and so we have developed a system, ConEditor+ that enables domain experts themselves to capture and maintain these constraints. Further we hypothesize that in order to appropriately apply, maintain and reuse constraints, it is necessary to understand the underlying assumptions and context in which each constraint is applicable. We refer to them as “application conditions” and these form a part of the rationale associated with the constraint. We propose a methodology to capture the application conditions associated with a constraint and demonstrate that an explicit representation (machine interpretable format) of application conditions (rationales) together with the corresponding constraints and the domain ontology can be used by a machine to support maintenance of constraints. Support for the maintenance of constraints includes detecting inconsistencies, subsumption, redundancy, fusion between constraints and suggesting appropriate refinements. The proposed methodology provides immediate benefits to the designers and hence should encourage them to input the application conditions (rationales)
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Investigating the impact of episodic future thinking on anxiety and its relationship to episodic memory
No full textEpisodic Future Thinking (EFT) is the ability to imagine oneself experiencing events in the future (Atance and O’Neill, 2001). This cognitive ability is often referred to as future Mental Time Travel (MTT) (Berntsen & Jacobsen, 2008). The first part of this thesis is a systematic review and narrative synthesis of 16 papers that critically evaluates the relationship between EFT and measures of anxiety. Interest in this topic was generated from the theoretical and clinical accounts of anxiety that make reference to the expectation of future life events. Whilst there is not consensus across the papers, the review indicates some preliminary support in favour of a positive correlation between anxiety and frequency of EFT. It also discusses results that suggest how anxiety is associated with EFT that has abstract and negative content. Consideration for the clinical implications of the findings are also reviewed.
The second part of this thesis is an empirical paper that investigates whether there is a direct relationship between the recall of episodic memory (past MTT) and the ability to engage in EFT (future MTT). It also examines whether deficits in MTT can be explained by an impaired search and retrieval strategy, as opposed to fragmented scene representation. Two female patients with focal hippocampal damage and documented autobiographical memory impairment, were asked to describe six events from their past and imagine six events they could potentially experience in their future. The GaltonCrovitz-Schiffman cue-word technique (Crovitz-Schiffman, 1974; Galton, 1879) was used to generate event descriptions. The patients were then prompted to elaborate on their descriptions using a pre-determined list of questions. The level of detail in their unprompted and prompted descriptions of past and future events was compared with five age-matched neurotypical controls. The empirical paper presents two preliminary findings. Firstly, that scaffolding, in the provision of verbal cues assisted both patients to provide more detail for their past events. Secondly, that there may be a dissociation between the two directions of MTT; one of the patients displayed a strong trend towards a selective deficit in her prompted future descriptions
SASM-Agri - Sistema para análise e separação de médias em experimentos agrícolas pelos métodos Scott - Knott, Tukey e Duncan.
No full textOs testes estatísticos comumente utilizados para separação de médias em experimentos agrícolas apresentam resultados ambíguos e de difícil interpretação. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo desenvolver um software para analisar e separar médias pelo método de Scott-Knott, além dos métodos de Tukey e Duncan. O SASM-Agri foi desenvolvido utilizando-se o ambiente Borland Delphi, compatível com Windows 98 ou superior, o que permite importar dados de planilhas e exportar resultados para outros aplicativos. Os dados também podem ser transformados antes da análise. A validação foi realizada comparando-se os resultados gerados pelo software com resultados calculados manualmente. O sistema usou funções recursivas que agilizaram e aumentaram a precisão da apresentação dos resultados. Quando comparados aos outros métodos de separação de médias, o método de Scott-Knott facilitou a interpretação dos resultados. Os dados foram classificados em grupos diferentes e não houve sobreposição entre estes grupos. A sobreposição é característica de outros testes como Tukey e Duncan. O sistema desenvolvido torna possível usar o teste de scott-knott na análise de experimentos com vários tratamentos. O software está sendo utilizado para separar grupos de genótipos de cana-de-açúcar em relação à resistência às doenças. Uma versão gratuita de uso limitado do software está sendo distribuída mediante solicitação aos autores ou no site www.infoagro.uepg.br/~ralthaus/sasm/avaliacao/sasm-agri.exe
