Semantic Web and Knowledge Management for the health domain: state of the art and challenges for the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Union (2007-2013)

Abstract

Information Systems in the context of the health domain play a critical role. The evolution of the semantic web and knowledge management technologies in the last years set a new context for the exploitation of patient-centric strategies based on well-defined semantics and knowledge. In this paper we have two critical objectives. On the one hand to exploit the state of the art on Semantic Web and Knowledge Management (KM) approaches in the context of the health domain and on the other hand to underline the key challenges within the FP7 framework of the European union for customised and personalised health services.

Incorporating microblogging (“tweeting”) in higher education: Lessons learnt in a knowledge management course

“…One promising approach would be to leverage natural language processing tools (in combination with knowledge management approaches) such as sentiment analyses to explore the possible emotional effect of students' tweets on others in a learning group (Gurevych & Kim, 2013;Hellmann & Auer, 2013;Lytras, Sakkopoulos, & Ordóñez de Pablos, 2009) An alternative way to find evidence for learning effectiveness triggered through Twitter would be to conduct social network analyses of tweeted words and components to shed light on affiliative trends amongst learners and to establish whether they predict positive learning outcomes (Lee & Kim, 2014). This could also entail identifying 'central figures' amongst students in a class who manage to nurture 'real' synergetic e-learning communities defined as ''two or more discrete learning agents acting together (that) will create a learning result greater than that obtained by acting individual'' (Dascalua et al, 2014:362).…”

A Qualitative Study of Hard Decision Making in Managing Global Software Development Teams

“…Back in the nineties, organizations seeking lower costs and access to skilled resources began to experiment with remotely located software development facilities (Prikladnicki, Nicolas Audy & Evaristo, 2003;Lytras, Sakkopoulos, &Ordóñez de Pablos, 2009).…”

Towards a Unifying Process Framework for Services Knowledge Management

“…Finally, combined advances in semantic web and knowledge management approaches provide a strong basis for collaboration and reuse. For example, emerging results in semantic web and knowledge management can be used as a basis for a knowledge management framework in the health domain [7].…”
