Knowledge Representation and Management. From Ontology to Annotation

Abstract

SummaryObjective: To summarize the best papers in the field of Knowledge Representation and Management (KRM). Methods: A comprehensive review of medical informatics literature was performed to select some of the most interesting papers of KRM published in 2014. Results: Four articles were selected, two focused on annotation and information retrieval using an ontology. The two others focused mainly on ontologies, one dealing with the usage of a temporal ontology in order to analyze the content of narrative document, one describing a methodology for building multilingual ontologies. Conclusion: Semantic models began to show their efficiency, coupled with annotation tools.

Formalization and Knowledge Representation in Advanced Engineering Informatics

“…As a subfield of Knowledge Representation (KR), AEIs addresses the question: "How can we codify complex technical knowledge to build advances in computational techniques that help professionals mitigate practical difficulties within their restrictions and expenditures?" When it comes to the above research question, AEIs is also relevant in analyzing how clear and direct conceptions and representational or mathematical modeling techniques can be used to codify intricate knowledge of engineering [3]. In addition to advanced analytical modeling based on formally constructed experience and understanding, researchers are also investigating the representation of the data in graphical interface, the stipulation of integrated knowledge bases through big datasets, or how developers and engineering organizations can be endorsed in construing remedies and transitional remedy areas today.…”
