Semantic Web Ontology Centred University Course Recommendation Scheme
Published in Archana Patel, Narayan C. Debnath, Bharat Bhushan, Semantic Web Technologies, 2023
There are well-established ontologies in different areas of the Semantic Web. GoodRelations is an ontology used across e-businesses on the Web. Foundational Model of Anatomy, International Classification of Diseases are some of the representations of domain knowledge in the medical domain [28]. Another popular application of ontology is for annotating web services using ontology. OWL-S, Web Service Modeling Ontology are some of the service description ontologies. Ontologies are frequently used in social media domains like Friend-of-a-friend ontology.
A web-based system architecture for ontology-based data integration in the domain of IT benchmarking
Published in Enterprise Information Systems, 2018
The representation of business knowledge using ontologies has become popular in recent years, with a particular focus on the representation of business processes (Thomas and Fellmann 2009; Garcia-Crespo et al. 2011; Aldin and Cesare 2011; Jung et al. 2015; Hachicha et al. 2016). By nature, when an ontology is constructed with a focus on business processes, it lacks the information needed to shift the focus to financial aspects, which are of crucial importance in the ITBM domain. The same holds true for ontologies used for business modelling, system configuration and execution management systems, as presented by Cai et al. 2016), as well as for typologies in the context of business process management (BPM), as introduced by Müller et al. (2016). On the one hand, this also applies for ontologies in the context of ITSM (Freitas, Correia, and E Abreu 2008; Valiente, Garcia-Barriocanal, and Sicilia 2012), IT governance frameworks in the context of the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) (Office 2011) and for related ontologies, such as the GoodRelations ontology (Hepp 2008) or the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) (Council 2016). On the other hand, ontologies such as the Business Model Ontology (BMO) (Osterwald, Pigneur, and Tucci 2005) and the e3-value ontology (Gordijn and Akkermans 2001) only focus on the conceptualization of economic aspects within a single enterprise or economic aspects within a network of enterprises. To the best of our knowledge, the only existing approach for measuring the impact of IT infrastructure changes on business processes and vice versa by an ontology was introduced by Vom Brocke et al. (2014). However, the focus of this study is in linking (inner) organizational processes to their corresponding IT resources. However, (semi) automatically compare IT-related and business-related performance indicators across company boundaries, a more fine-grained conceptualization of such information is needed, especially if linking external data sources (i.e., map ontology concepts to IT business-related KPIs) to concepts within an ontology.
