Benchmarking Criteria to Evaluate Ontology Building Methodologies

Several ontology building methodologies have been developed endowed with different characteristics, however there is not yet a clear method to select the most appropriate ontology building methodology for a specific application. This paper proposes a few criteria for comparing different ontology building methodologies, starting from a proposal derived from the IEEE Standard 1074-1995 for softwa...

Building Criteria: a Prerequisite for Mcda

Multi-Criteria Spatial Analysis of Building Layouts

This paper proposes a multi-criteria based approach for the analysis of building layouts, from space quality and cost related perspectives. A computational prototype is developed to analyse a building layout from various accessibility related measures in order to evaluate the quality of the building special layout. A case study is used to demonstrate the assessment of a building layout based on...

Towards Transforming Expert-based Content to Evidence-based Content

The goal of this paper is to find relevant citations for clinicians' written content and make it more reliable by adding scientific articles as references and enabling the clinicians to easily update it using new information. The proposed approach uses information retrieval and ranking techniques to extract and rank relevant citations from MEDLINE for any given sentence. Additionally, this syst...
