A functional ontology for information systems

Public Transport Ontology for Passenger Information Retrieval

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...

RELATIVE INFORMATION FUNCTIONAL OF RELATIVE DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

 In this paper by use of mathematical modeling of an observer [14,15] the notion of relative information functional for relative dynamical systemson compact metric spaces is presented. We extract the information function ofan ergodic dynamical system (X,T) from the relative information of T fromthe view point of observer χX, where X denotes the base space of the system.We also generalize the in...

Ontology-Based Assessment of Functional Redundancy in Health Information Systems

The paper introduces a formal definition of functional redundancy to determine non-redundant health information system architectures, in order to support information management of, in particular, hospital information systems. We specify an ontology, which is linked to the Three-Layer Graph-Based Meta Model (3LGM) and based on enterprise functions and application systems of (health) information ...

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information

With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
