Getting started on a new knowledge engineering project is a difficult and challenging task, even for those who have done it before. For those who haven’t, the task can often prove impossible. One reason is that the requirementsoriented methods and intuitions learned in the development of other types of software do not carry over well to the knowledge engineering task. Another reason is that met...

This paper reports on a case-study of applying the general purpose and widely accepted methodology CommonKADS to a clinical practice guideline. CommonKADS is focussed on obtaining a compact knowledge model. However, guidelines usually contain incomplete and ambiguous knowledge. So, the resulting knowledge model will be incomplete and we will need to detect what parts of the guideline knowledge ...

R ecent years have witnessed greatly increased appreciation of the centrality of good teach ing to the effectiveness of schooling and of the role of research on teaching in developing a knowledge base to inform the teaching profession. This article draws on findings from the past decade of research on teaching, and in particular on findings developed at the Institute for Research on Teaching (I...

PURPOSES To assess attitudes and practices of documentation and coding education for emergency medicine residents (EMRs). METHODS Questions regarding documentation teaching methods were formulated into online surveys for program directors (PDs) and EMRs. RESULTS Fifty-three of 104 PDs and 446 of 576 EMRs who received the survey completed it. Although 93% of EMRs and 63% of PDs believe prope...

Context Analysis (CA) is typically used as an early phase preceding the development of a knowledge-based systems in order to indicate how the system should interact with its environment and the various stakeholders. We undertake a detailed context analysis of business processes of the Malaysian Games (MG)to highlight blind spots of the process and enable the identification of an initial sports ...

The demand for effective knowledge discovery methods in a clinical setting is growing: the number of hospital information systems and medical documentation systems in routine-use increases rapidly. Then, often high-quality collections of electronic patient records are available for statistical analysis. One interesting issue concerns the quality of the examinations records which depends both on...

Program comprehension of legacy systems is a highly knowledge intensive task. One of the goal of reverse engineering is to propose automated help to relate application domain concepts to all their implementation instances. It is generally accepted that to do so would require analyzing such documentation as identifiers or comments. However, before attempting to perform this difficult analysis, i...

INTRODUCTION Studies indicate that using interventions including education may improve medical record documentation and decrease incomplete files. Since physicians play a crucial role in medical record documentation, the researchers intend to examine the effect of educational intervention on physicians' performance and knowledge about principles of medical diagnosis recording among residents in...

We will present a new model of grammar documentation which exploits the potentialities of an hypertextual representation of lingware. As we will show this model insures the following benefits: • Constant coherence between the documentation and the various pieces of linguistic information. • Valuable organization of the linguistic knowledge, in order to increase the productivity of the grammar w...
