Conceptualization seeks to map a short text (i.e., a word or a phrase) to a set of concepts as a mechanism of understanding text. Most of prior research in conceptualization uses human-crafted knowledge bases that map instances to concepts. Such approaches to conceptualization have the limitation that the mappings are not context sensitive. To overcome this limitation, we propose a framework in...

Comprehensive case conceptualization is central to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT; A. T. Beck, Rush, Shaw, & Emery, 1979). Despite the importance attributed to case conceptualization there is limited empirical support for the utility of case conceptualization in CBT. In particular, there is limited research on the relationship between therapist competence in case conceptualization, in-sessi...

This paper describes a system that performs Temporal Event Recognition, ie., the task of forming causal and conceptual descriptions of stimulii given to a system over a period of time. A temporal logic that integrates state based and interval based representations is is used to represent and maintain knowledge about the temporal relationships between events . A knowledge based system is then co...

Conceptualization in theory development has received limited consideration despite its frequently stressed importance in Information Systems research. This paper focuses on the role of construct clarity in conceptualization, arguing that construct clarity should be considered an essential criterion for evaluating conceptualization and that a focus on construct clarity can advance conceptualizat...

The concept of an intelligent geographic information system (IGIS) is not new. However, the term represents a complex set of ideas and methods that cannot be combined into one method, theory, or concept. This chapter attempts to describe this new domain in geographic information system science and technology. Here, we present selected results of theoretical investigations and technological deve...

Information Technology (IT) value is amongst the most important concepts in the Information Systems (IS) research field. Yet, a clear, well-formulated conceptualization of IT value, cumulatively built upon, is lacking. Drawing from the Facet Theory literature, this paper broaches several meta-theoretical considerations addressing an “ideal” conceptualization of IT value. We argue these consider...
