Towards richer descriptions of our collection of genomes andmetagenomes

Description: In this commentary, we advocate building a richer set of descriptions about our invaluable and exponentially growing collection of genomes and metagenomic datasets through the construction of consensus-driven data capture and exchange mechanisms. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international working bodies, and to tackle the issues surrounding the development of better descriptions of genomic investigations we have formed the Genomic Standards Cons… more

The National Center for Biomedical Ontology: Advancing Biomedicinethrough Structured Organization of Scientific Knowledge

Description: The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (http://bioontology.org) is a consortium that comprises leading informaticians, biologists, clinicians, and ontologists funded by the NIH Roadmap to develop innovative technology and methods that allow scientists to record, manage, and disseminate biomedical information and knowledge in machine-processable form. The goals of the Center are: (1) to help unify the divergent and isolated efforts in ontology development by promoting high quality open-sour… more

An Ontology Approach to Tourism Destinations in Ethiopia

Description: Knowledge is awareness or familiarity gained by experiences of facts, data, and situations. Knowledge management includes techniques and processes to represent, store, search, integrate, and analyze knowledge that is available in digital form. Ontology is a formal explicit specification of a shared conceptualization of a domain of interest and it is a building block of the semantic web and formal description of knowledge. Ontologies capture the structure and knowledge about some domain of inter… more

[Controlled Vocabulary Graphic]

Description: This graphic expresses kinds of controlled vocabularies as a continuum of least to most complex and illustrates how different vocabularies are related; it includes notes describing the image on a separate page. The slide was used as a visual aid at a workshop during THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp) as part of the Digital Frontiers conference at UNT Libraries.

An Ontology Approach to Tourism Destinations in Ethiopia

Description: This presentation covers a study conducted on tourism in Ethiopia. The study used an Ontology approach to research how Ethiopian tourism destination information can be supported with a machine-readable and interoperable model, be made visible and accessible to both international and local tourists, and improve reusability, integrity, and retrieval of tourist information in Ethiopia.

Modeling Email Phishing Attacks

Description: Cheating, beguiling, and misleading information exist all around us; understanding deception and its consequences is crucial in our information environment. This study investigates deception in phishing emails that successfully bypassed Microsoft 365 filtering system. We devised a model that explains why some people are deceived and how targeted individuals and organizations can prevent or counter attacks. The theoretical framework used in this study is Anderson's functional ontology constructi… more

Semantic Networks and Knowledge Management – Context Does the Trick

Description: With an increasing flood of data and at the same time changing requirements, making the relevant information available in the right context to a customer and within the company for the respective development-, technical- and service-departments is a key success factor for many companies and at the same time an enormous challenge. The problem with folders and filing data in tree structures is that information about an object is scattered across different aspects. Access to this information is o… more

Superjective Ontology: A Post-Cartesian Tool for the Near-Death Experience

Description: Abstract: This study questions the validity of subjective and objective categories, and suggests a new approach, which I call "superjective ontology," as a tool for resolving archaic difficulties. In the first section, I present evidence that a deeply ingrained problem of "ontological disparity" really does exist, along with the extent to which this conditions our thought patterns. I then summarize monism and dualism, and present the core thesis advancing the argument from superjective ontolo… more

Commentary on "Near-Death Experiences with Hallucinatory Features"

Description: Abstract: In this response to Keith Augustine's paper, I discuss the question of the nature and causation of near-death experiences (NDEs) with hallucinatory features. The attribution of hallucinations to either a brain mechanism or a peek into the afterworld raises fundamental questions about both the epistemology and ontology of our neuroscience, and of our scientific models of an afterlife. It also raises questions about the physiological state of the brain giving rise to NDEs that arise i… more

An Approach Towards Self-Supervised Classification Using Cyc

Description: Due to the long duration required to perform manual knowledge entry by human knowledge engineers it is desirable to find methods to automatically acquire knowledge about the world by accessing online information. In this work I examine using the Cyc ontology to guide the creation of Naïve Bayes classifiers to provide knowledge about items described in Wikipedia articles. Given an initial set of Wikipedia articles the system uses the ontology to create positive and negative training sets for the… more

Ontology Based Security Threat Assessment and Mitigation for Cloud Systems

Description: A malicious actor often relies on security vulnerabilities of IT systems to launch a cyber attack. Most cloud services are supported by an orchestration of large and complex systems which are prone to vulnerabilities, making threat assessment very challenging. In this research, I developed formal and practical ontology-based techniques that enable automated evaluation of a cloud system's security threats. I use an architecture for threat assessment of cloud systems that leverages a dynamically … more
