Title : Domain-aware Ontology Matching
| Presenter | Laura Hollink |
| Abstract | The inherent heterogeneity of datasets on the Semantic Web has created a need to interlink them, and several tools have emerged that automate this task. In this paper we are interested in what happens if we enrich these matching tools with knowledge of the domain of the ontologies. We explore how to express the notion of a domain in terms usable for an ontology matching tool, and we examine various methods to decide what constitutes the domain of a given dataset. We show how we can use this in a matching tool, and study the effect of domain knowledge on the quality of the alignment. We perform evaluations for two scenarios: Last.fm artists and UMLS medical terms. To quantify the added value of domain knowledge, we compare our domain-aware matching approach to a standard approach based on a manually created reference alignment. The results indicate that the proposed domain-aware approach indeed outperforms the standard approach, with a large effect on ambiguous concepts but a much smaller effect on unambiguous concepts. This is work I did with Kristian Slabbekoorn and Geert-Jan Houben. It will be presented at ISWC2012 by Kristian. |
Title : Active2Gether: Encouraging Physical Activity Among Adolescents – An Introduction
| Presenter | Julienka Mollee |
| Abstract | In this presentation, I will introduce the interdisciplinary research project Active2Gether. It is a combined effort of the Agent Systems group and the EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research. It aims to develop a coaching system that facilitates behaviour change through unobtrusive monitoring, awareness of the physical and social context, and tailored coaching strategies. The overall objective of the project will be discussed, as well as the preliminary plans, including a survey of the state-of-the-art, the planned architecture and the foundations of the underlying model. |
