Recent theoretical developments in information quality research have focused on defining, understanding and assessing data quality. The frameworks are intended to further theoretical knowledge as well as inform practice. Prior experimental work on the impact of data quality upon management decision-making is not based explicitly on theoretically-grounded data quality frameworks. As a result, re...

User interface design is still more of an art than a science. Interface design and redesign is mostly based on empirical studies or prototypes but there is still surprisingly little theoretical or engineering understanding of how to go about the design process and produce good designs the first time around. We present a semiotic analysis that explains features of some user interface redesigns t...

Autonomy is a crucial property of an artificial agent. The type of representational structures and the role they play in the preservation of an agent’s autonomy are pointed out. A framework of self-organised Peircean semiotic processes is introduced and it is then used to demonstrate the emergence of grounded representational structures in agents interacting with their environment. 1 Autonomy a...

Abstract Whilst existing studies have investigated ludic translanguaging practices in diverse contexts, little knowledge is available on dad jokes, a common language play phenomenon Chinese online contexts. To fill this gap, focusing jokes the Weibo platform, paper investigates how and why operate by micro-blogging users. Drawing upon theoretical framework of qualitative phenomenological approa...

A methodology provides description of process and guidance for producing ontology that facilitates management of the enterprise engineering products. Method support in terms of detailed guidelines is important to ensure the quality of ontologies. Then, it is also important to be able to evaluate the quality of such method guidelines. This paper proposes an analytical framework for such evaluati...
