    abstract = {Entity disambiguation is a widely investigated topic, and many matching algorithms have been proposed. However, this task has not yet been satisfactorily addressed when the domain of interest provides poor or incomplete data with little discriminating power. In these cases, the use of content fields such as name and date is not enough and the simple use of relations with other entities is not of much help when these related entities also need disambiguation before they can be used. Therefore, we propose an approach for the disambiguation of clustered resources using context (related entities that are also clustered) as evidence for reconciling matched entities. We test the proposed method on datasets of historical records from Amsterdam in the 17th century for which context is available, and we compare the results of the proposed approach to a gold standard generated by three experts, which we make available online. The results show that the proposed approach manages to meaningfully use context for isolating identity sub-clusters with higher quality by eliminating potentially false positive matches.},

This paper reports on the initial idea of a core conceptual model for the Golden Agents Project, which aims to integrate several heterogeneous datasets about cultural heritage of the Dutch Golden Age.We hypothesize that the combination of event and storytelling modeling would provide us a common infrastructure to represent and retrieve some core information regardless to its specific nature: Painting, book, notary act or theatre performance. The proposed model was developed based on (i) several discussions conducted with humanities experts and (ii) foundational ontology for grounding the modeling decisions. It is assessed through a case study about Vermeer, the painting 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' and a novel written about the production of the painting. We conclude that the model satisfactorily addresses the case study, and we discuss some next steps to further assess and extend the model, as well as implementing and testing it in practice.},

    abstract = {© 2017 CEUR-WS. All rights reserved. In almost all domains in practice, it is fundamental to properly represent entities amenable to changes. For instance, in business analytics, we must be able to reason with large amounts of time-changing KPI (key performance indicators) data. For this reason, general-purpose practical knowledge representation frameworks must be able to support the representation of temporally changing information and in a way that affords decidable automated reasoning. In this paper, we address the issue of representing entities amenable to intrinsic or extrinsic changes in OWL2. These sources of change are illustrated in a simplified model of the scholar domain. We then propose three strategies to represent entities amenable to changes as well as their changes. In particular, we do that by employing strategies that are based on a philosophical stance called perdurantism, which sees all individuals as 4D entities, i.e., as individuals that unfold in time as well as in space. Finally, we compare these three alternatives by generating synthetic instances and performing an empirical evaluation of reasoning tasks.},

    abstract = {Enormous efforts are being invested in producing clinical knowledge and making it available in practice via the clinical guidelines (CG). However, the increasing amount of knowledge and its complexity make it difficult to efficiently apply it to the benefit of the patient. The research question that arises is: which clinical knowledge is needed to support clinical guideline (CG) tasks while fostering knowledge reuse across them? We propose a model called TMR (Transition-based Medical Recom- mendation) that has as core elements actions and transitions, where the actions can be both believed to cause a transition with some fre- quency and be recommended to be pursued or avoided for that rea- son. The applicability of the TMR is assessed for two GC-tasks: mul- timorbidity analysis and literature search. The multimorbidity analy- sis is necessary to support the treatment of patients that suffer from more than one disease at the same time. In this case, the medical best-practices, mostly established for addressing a single disease at a time, can interact in several ways, e.g. contradicting or repeating treatments. The more diseases involved, the more difficult it gets to identify all possible interactions. As a secondary task, literature search is necessary to gather the publications that serve as scientific evidence for the recommended actions to be performed or avoided. As new evidence is produced daily on a large scale, literature search is often necessary to keep the clinical guidelines up-to-date. Those tasks as well as other CG-tasks are called knowledge intensive tasks as they require large amounts of information to be processed. By relying on the TMR model we provide (i) a fixed number of generic rules for detecting several types of interactions among sev- eral recommendations; (ii) generic reuse of medical data from hetero- geneous medical datasets; and (iii) a flexible method to compose a search-query for medical literature that takes into account the seman- tic role of the medical terms and possible alternative descriptions. We have successfully applied this approach to case studies taken from the medical informatics literature as well as a case study developed in cooperation with healthcare-professionals. The case studies are (i) combining three (parts of) guidelines for Osteoarthritis, Diabetes and Hypertension; (ii) combining (parts of) guidelines for exercise therapy for Breast Cancer Patients combined with Osteoarthritis, Hyper- tension and Congestive Heart Failure; and finally (iii) searching for literature to update the Dutch Breast Cancer Guideline of 2004. This work is a step in the direction of investigating the knowledge underlying CGs that is necessary to address several tasks. The pro- posed approach is designed to be both task- and technology- independent, though the evaluation is performed through specific CG-tasks and technology. The Semantic Web provide a suitable en- vironment for the implementation by allowing the reuse of large datasets as Linked Open Data, besides the provision of reusable knowl- edge. The evaluation for multimorbidity analysis and literature search show relevant contributions with respect to the state of the art.},

    abstract = {The formal representation of clinical knowledge is still an open research topic. Classical representation languages for clinical guidelines are used to produce diagnostic and treatment plans. However, they have important limitations, e.g. when looking for ways to re-use, combine, and reason over existing clinical knowledge. These limitations are especially problematic in the context of multimorbidity; patients that suffer from multiple diseases. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a model for clinical guidelines (TMR4I) that allows the re-use and combination of knowledge from multiple guidelines. Semantic Web technology is applied to implement the model, allowing us to automatically infer interactions between recommendations, such as recommending the same drug more than once. It relies on an existing Linked Data set, DrugBank, for identifying drug-drug interactions. We evaluate the model by applying it to two realistic case studies on multimorbidity that combine guidelines for two (Duodenal Ulcer and Transient Ischemic Attack) and three diseases (Osteoarthritis, Hypertension and Diabetes) and compare the results with existing methods.},

Although some approaches for merging guidelines exist, improvements are still required for combining several sources of information and coping with possibly conflicting pieces of evidence coming from clinical studies. Our main contribution is twofold: (i) we provide general models and rules for representing guidelines that expresses evidence as causation beliefs; (ii) we introduce a mechanism to exploit external medical knowledge acquired from Linked Open Data (Drugbank, Sider, DIKB) to detect potential interactions between recommendations. We apply this framework to merge three guidelines (Osteoarthritis, Diabetes, and Hypertension) in order to illustrate the capability of this approach for detecting potential conflicts between guidelines and eventually propose alternatives.},

    abstract = {In recent years, ontology-driven reference models have gained much attention in the literature due to their potential key role in activities such as complex information modeling and semantic interoperability. The engineering process of these conceptual models should account for different phases addressing different areas of concern. In an initial phase of conceptual domain modeling, the target modeling artifacts should be constructed with the goal of maximizing quality attributes such as expressivity and truthfulness to the represented domain in reality. In a subsequent development phase, the resulting domain models can be used to guide the design decisions in the construction of different implementation artifacts addressing different computational concerns. In this paper, we present a philosophically sound, cognitively-oriented and formally characterized foundational theory of objects and tropes (property-instances). Moreover, we use this theory to bring about engineering contributions to both the aforementioned phases of ontology-driven conceptual modeling. Firstly, we show how this theory has been used to (re)design a system of modeling primitives underlying the conceptual domain modeling language OntoUML. Furthermore, we provide precise directives on how to map conceptual domain models in this language to their implementation in less-expressive computationally-oriented codification languages. In particular, we address here a mapping strategy to OWL (Web Ontology Language) that partially preserves the modal-temporal semantics of OntoUML. Finally, we discuss computational support for the proposed approach in terms of conceptual model construction, automatic transformation and temporal querying.},

    abstract = {With the growth of e-government programs, the available data to citizens is growing in volume every day. However, to make these data a useful source of information, to be referenced and integrated more easily by different applications, they should be published according to the best practices of Linked Open Data, using standards for description (RDF) and identification (URI) of data resources on the web. The main goal of this work is to propose a platform and approach to support the exposure, sharing and association of data resources in the form of Linked Open Data, offering a user-friendly environment to stimulate the publication of data and their association to other existing data. Central functionalities to be included are data cleaning, transformation, linking, annotation and referencing to terminology mechanisms.},

    abstract = {computação, especialmente no contexto da Web Semântica. Entretanto, observa-se uma forte tendência em priorizar a eficiência computacional em detrimento da qualidade da representação, deixando de lado importantes características do domínio, como aspectos temporais. De fato, a linguagem OWL, padrão adotado na Web Semântica, não permite, em princípio, a representação de informação temporal. As principais estratégias propostas na literatura para resolver este problema, as abordagens Perdurantista 4D e de Reificação Temporal, não provêem suporte para apoiar as decisões do modelagem, deixando a responsabilidade nas mãos do usuário. Neste contexto, este trabalho objetiva, através da aplicação de resultados vindos da disciplina filosófica de Ontologia Formal, fundamentar tais abordagens para representação de informação temporal em OWL, provendo uma estrutura-base ontologicamente fundamentada e diretrizes para guiar sua utilização, avaliando e comparando as alternativas propostas. Ademais, uma vez que não é tarefa trivial a aplicação direta das noções ontológicas, observa-se que, utilizando-se uma linguagem de modelagem que as incorpore, é possível definir mapeamentos sistemáticos a partir desta linguagem para OWL de tal forma que se permita a geração automática de modelos num processo de Engenharia de Ontologias. Assim, outro objetivo deste trabalho é propor alternativas de mapeamentos entre a linguagem nível ontológico OntoUML e a linguagem de nível epistemológico OWL. Realiza-se ainda um estudo de caso no domínio de Eletrocardiografia, aplicando-se uma das alternativas para codificar automaticamente uma ontologia de referência de ECG, seguindo-se um processo de Engenharia de Ontologias, permitindo representar a informação temporal. Por fim, os resultados obtidos neste trabalho são relevantes no contexto de Engenharia de Ontologias por prover mapeamentos sistemáticos que, uma vez implementados, permitem que a codificação da ontologia de referência seja realizada de forma automatizada e eficiente, preservando a qualidade do modelo de referência e evitando erros decorrentes do processo de codificação manual; e, além disso, permitem contornar a limitação da linguagem OWL quanto à representação da informação temporal.},

    abstract = {An important challenge in the Knowledge Representation area is on representing and reasoning over temporally changing information. Particularly, a number of authors have been investigating approaches to extend the expressivity beyond what is currently supported by the DL (Description Logics) based languages in order to address this issue, while maintaining compatibility with subclasses of DLs adopted in the Semantic Web. This is mainly due to the increasing popularity of the Semantic Web initiative as well as the role played by DL in that context. In this paper we defend the need of a higher-level foundational framework based on results coming from the discipline of Formal Ontology. We present two complementary proposals for modeling temporally changing information in OWL, based on the most discussed strategy in the literature to address this problem, namely, the use of a perdurantist (or 4D) view of domain entities. Moreover we compare the results with some related work and discuss its limitations and further improvements.},

In this context, ontology has been recognized in the bioinformatics literature as a suitable technique for advancing knowledge and data representations in Biomedicine. Moreover, automated reasoning and visualization mechanisms can favor in providing support for human comprehensibility as well as in dealing with the complexity inherent to this domain. This paper elaborates on the application of ontology for heart electrophysiology representation, reasoning and visualization on the web. The ontology-based application we propose can be used to offer support for interactive learning in heart electrophysiology.},

    abstract = {Bioinformatics has been a fertile field for the application of the discipline of formal ontology. The principled representation of biomedical entities has increasingly supported biological research, with direct benefits ranging from the reformulation of medical terminologies to the introduction of new perspectives for enhanced models of Electronic Health Records (EHR). This paper introduces an application-independent ontological analysis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) grounded in the Unified Foundational Ontology. With the objective of investigating the phenomena underlying this cardiological exam, we deal with the sub-domains of human heart electrophysiology and anatomy. We then outline an ECG Ontology built upon the OBO Relation Ontology. In addition, the domain ontology sketched here takes inspiration both in the Foundational Model of Anatomy and in the Ontology of Functions proposed under the auspices of the General Formal Ontology (GFO) research program.},
