Carl Rogers' article (see record 2007-14639-002) on the necessary and sufficient conditions for personality change has had a significant impact on the field of psychotherapy and psychotherapy research. He emphasized the client as arbiter of his or her own subjective experience and tested his hypothesized therapist-offered conditions of change using recorded sessions. This aided in demystifying ...

Starting from an ontology draft which reflects the intended modeling perspective, the ontology engineer can be supported by suggesting similar already existing sub-ontologies and ways for integrating them with the existing draft ontology. Our approach combines syntactic, linguistic, structural and logical methods into an innovative modelingperspective aware solution for detecting matchings betw...

When developing semantic applications, constructing the underlying ontologies is a crucial part. This paper presents a view-point on the notion of ‘ontology’ and of ontology construction. Ontology construction cannot be seen in isolation, but must be considered in relation to its use. We also present two ways of conceiving ontology construction and ultimately, we survey common categories in the...

As the knowledge discovery process has been widely applied in a variety of domains, there is a growing opportunity to use the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud as a primary data source for knowledge discovery. The tasks of finding the relevant data from various sources and then using that data for the desired analysis are the key challenges. There is a striking increase on the availability of statis...

In many cases, government data is still ‘locked’ in several ‘data silos’, even within the boundaries of a single (inter-)national public organization with disparate and distributed organizational units and departments spread across multiple sites. Opening data and enabling its unified querying from a single site in an efficient and effective way is a semantic application integration and open go...

We describe our ongoing development of an insider threat indicator ontology. Our ontology is intended to serve as a standardized expression method for potential indicators of malicious insider activity, as well as a formalization of much of our team’s research on insider threat detection, prevention, and mitigation. This ontology bridges the gap between natural language descriptions of ...
