Standard-Setting Race for Sustainable Taxonomy Development

There is a multiplication of sustainable taxonomy development initiatives across the world. Developing these taxonomies can be viewed as a standard-setting race for achieving environmental, public policy, and broader political objectives. On the one hand, countries adapt the European Union taxonomy and other international developments and best practices to the local context to accelerate sustainable […]

How Ontology Adds Value to Natural Language Understanding

Natural Language Understanding (NLU) is important to drive smart machines and autonomous systems. Hence, it is critical to take the right NLU approach to optimize outcomes and decision-making. However, for NLU programs to succeed, they need a deep understanding of language structure and word classification. This is why it is essential to understand how ontology […]

Architecting Around Massive Graph Complexity

Alibaba has been tackling the complexity of graph processing at hyperscale via a project called GraphScope – a one-stop large-scale graph computing system. The project has demonstrated a nearly 3X boost in performance on a trillion-scale graph on production workloads. Alibaba deploys many deep learning frameworks for its e-commerce platforms involving many graph processing types […]

Ontology-based Platform for Sharing Knowledge on Dementia Care

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) service platform based on an ontology model. The platform will allow caregivers to share various symptoms and caring methods for dementia patients. The KIST compiled knowledge of how to take care of dementia patients, their living environment, medical knowledge, and information […]

New Taxonomy for Technology-Enabled Care

Technology-Enabled Self-Management (TES) elements, such as two-way communication, patient-generated health data, tailored education, and individualized feedback, are not always described clearly. This makes it challenging to understand why and how these interventions are delivering positive outcomes. The TES Taxonomy was developed to overcome this lacuna. The TES Taxonomy is modeled after the medication Full Prescribing […]

Developing a Taxonomy for Preprint Review Processes

Differentiating the various forms of preprint review is challenging as they are hard to discover and not directly linked to the preprint. To counter these challenges, a simple, reader-friendly system to classify preprint review processes is being developed by the ASAPbio Taxonomy working group. ASAPbio (Accelerating Science and Publication in biology) is a scientist-driven non-profit […]

Data Taxonomy Can Help Employees Use Enterprise Data

Studies have shown employees may spend as much as 15% to 35% of their time searching for information. 40% often do not find the data they are looking for, leading them to duplicate data. This is where a data taxonomy can help. Data taxonomy is the classification of data into categories and sub-categories. It provides […]

Metadata Standards for Biological Imaging Aim to Make Data Sets More Accessible

Scientists say metadata tags are needed for image data in biology to ensure the image data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). Consequently, 46 scientists collaborated in proposing Recommended Metadata for Biological Images (REMBI). Scientific journals require researchers to upload raw image data sets to support the final processed images with a manuscript. Nevertheless, […]

A New Taxonomy to Label Videos of Humans Manipulating Objects

Researchers at the University of Pisa, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Alpen-Adria-Universitat Klagenfurt, and TU Delft recently developed a new taxonomy to label videos of humans manipulating objects. The taxonomy was explicitly designed for enabling the labeling of human grasping videos. The new taxonomy incorporates movements before the grasping of objects, for bi-manual grasps, and non-prehensile […]

Terminology Service for the Chemistry Community Launched

The national research data infrastructure initiative for chemistry in Germany, NFDI4Chem, announced the launch of its Terminology Service for the Chemistry community. The Terminology Service provides chemistry-specific terminologies or ontologies that will help researchers, software tools, and services of NFDI4Chem to create machine- and human-readable descriptions of research data. The first release of the Terminology […]
