This paper investigates the impact of conceptual modeling on the information completeness dimension of information quality in the context of user-generated content. We propose a theoretical relationship between conceptual modeling approaches and information completeness and hypothesize that traditional classbased conceptual modeling negatively affects information completeness. We conducted a fi...

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is gaining its popularity in recent years. The limited exchange of medical knowledge due to geographical constraints etc. will be disadvantageous to patients. It is crucial to capture the knowledge and experience in a computer-based representation. With the application of semantic network and ontology, knowledge and experience will then be kept and stored in a...

A preliminary work on symptom name recognition from free-text clinical records (FCRs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is depicted in this paper. This problem is viewed as labeling each character in FCRs of TCM with a pre-defined tag (“B-SYC”, “I-SYC” or “OSYC”) to indicate the character’s role (a beginning, inside or outside part of a symptom name). The task is handled by Conditional Rand...

In this paper we explore how IF (Barwise-Seligman’s information flow theory) [3] and FCA (Formal Concept Analysis) [20] may be used to help conceptual data modeling. A fundamental observation we make is that the process of conceptual data modeling is a distributed system in the sense of Barwise-Seligman’s information flow theory, i.e., the Channel theory [3], and therefore the process of concep...

Information systems have become the nerve center of current computer-based engineering applications, which hereby put the requirements on engineering information modeling. Databases are designed to support data storage, processing, and retrieval activities related to data management, and database systems are the key to implementing engineering information modeling. It should be noted that, howe...

In this paper we are concerned with the degree to which modeling languages explicitly accommodate conceptual distinctions. Such distinctions refer to the precision and nuance with which a given modeling concept in a language can be interpreted (e.g., can an actor be a human, an abstraction, or a collection of things). We start by elaborating on the notion of conceptual distinctions, while also ...
