In this paper, we describe some promising initial results in inducing ontology from the Flickr tag vocabulary, using a subsumption-based model. We describe the utility of faceted ontology as a supplement to a tagging system and present our model and results. We propose a revised, probabilistic model using seed ontologies to induce faceted ontology, and describe how the model can integrate into ...

As the pace of Linked data generation and usage increases, so does the interest in intelligent, usable, and scalable browsing tools. Faceted browsing has potential to provide a foundation for effective dataset navigation. In this paper, we will discuss some of the anticipated benefits along with some associated challenges in building the next-generation faceted browsing system for the Web of Li...

Four-dimensional propagation-based phase contrast X-ray tomographic microscopy experiments were performed on an Aluminum29.9mass% Silicon alloy during coarsening. Using propagation-based phase contrast, changes in the three-dimensional morphology of primary silicon particles were captured and the resulting evolution of the microstructure is discussed. While morphologies at earlier times are com...

– Reference 32 was added to the following sentence, “This CoP exhibited the features of a successful CoP described by others [21, 29, 32].” – Citations in the sentence, “Some studies have reported on CoPs and their broad impact on systems where CoPs were part of a multi-faceted intervention [32-36]” were changed to, “Some studies have reported on CoPs and their broad impact on systems where CoP...

Life-altering biologic therapeutics are complex large molecules which include hormones, growth factors, interferons, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, recombinant proteins and others. The time, cost and risk for advancing a biologic through the pipeline comes at a steep price. It is estimated that the development of a biologic therapeutic is as high as US$1.2 billion [1] versus the cost of devel...

Current user needs and expectations increasingly shift focus away from simple information lookup towards more complex tasks collectively described as exploratory search. This requires the development of novel approaches and tools to search, navigation and processing of information, such as personalized faceted browsing. We describe a visualization approach for personalized faceted browsers suit...

This article focuses on the factors shaping and constituting governance in urban/metropolitan emergency management. The main focus of the article is the multi-faceted inter-organizational relationships producing shared goals that are practiced at the local level, and specifically within the context of county-level metropolitan emergency management. The article presents a conceptual understandin...

The paper proposes a faceted framework to understand and classify issues in system development process engineering. The framework identifies four different but complementary view-points. Each view allows us to capture a particular aspect of process engineering. Inter-relationships between these aspects allow us to show the influence that one aspect has on another. In order to study, understand ...
