Shiva: A Framework for Graph Based Ontology Matching
Since long, corporations are looking for knowledge sources which can provide
structured description of data and can focus on meaning and shared
understanding. Structures which can facilitate open world assumptions and can
be flexible enough to incorporate and recognize more than one name for an
entity. A source whose major purpose is to facilitate human communication and
interoperability. Clearly, databases fail to provide these features and
ontologies have emerged as an alternative choice, but corporations working on
same domain tend to make different ontologies. The problem occurs when they
want to share their data/knowledge. Thus we need tools to merge ontologies into
one. This task is termed as ontology matching. This is an emerging area and
still we have to go a long way in having an ideal matcher which can produce
good results. In this paper we have shown a framework to matching ontologies
using graphs
Construction of early childhood and ECCD service provisioning in India
There has been a growing recognition among scholars in childhood studies that childhood is a social construction. Several historical and cross-cultural studies conducted across the world validate this argument, and whereby explains the variability that exist in the descriptions of childhood. These constructions not only differ at the cultural or temporal level, they also differ at the individual or institutional level. In a contemporary society, individuals, professionals, service institutions and policy communities â all construct their own version of childhood based on their subjective understandings, experiences and theoretical perspectives. At the policy level, therefore, these constructions have a significant role to play in the designing of services, institutions and pedagogy for early childhood intervention. This paper critically examines the model of early childhood constructed in the policy provisioning of early childhood care and development (ECCD) in India. Drawing on literatures mostly from the Euro-American context, at the outset, the paper elaborates the shift that took place in the ontology of children. The distinctions between child development theories, which chiefly inform the policy community, and the social constructionist approach, which is considered as an alternative, are then analyzed as central to early childhood service provisioning. The paper problematizes the policy documents, while doing so, it picks up few key issues and (re)open up the debates on âdevelopmentally appropriate practicesâ and âplay-based educationâ. The paper concludes by suggesting that oversubscription of child development theories or total obscurity of social constructionist perspectives not augurs well for policy formulation. Further it stresses that there is a need to understand what childrenâs lived experiences are in the early childhood institutions, what parental constructions are on early childhood service provisioning and, how that can be incorporated to establish clear policy goals
Connecting the dots: information visualization and text analysis of the Searchlight Project newsletters
This report is the product of the Pardee Centerâs work on the Searchlight:Visualization and Analysis of Trend Data project sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation. Part of a larger effort to analyze and disseminate on-the-ground information about important societal trends as reported in a large number of regional newsletters developed in Asia, Africa and the Americas specifically for the Foundation, the Pardee Center developed sophisticated methods to systematically review, categorize, analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from the information in the newsletters.The Rockefeller Foundatio
OntoAna: Domain Ontology for Human Anatomy
Today, we can find many search engines which provide us with information
which is more operational in nature. None of the search engines provide domain
specific information. This becomes very troublesome to a novice user who wishes
to have information in a particular domain. In this paper, we have developed an
ontology which can be used by a domain specific search engine. We have
developed an ontology on human anatomy, which captures information regarding
cardiovascular system, digestive system, skeleton and nervous system. This
information can be used by people working in medical and health care domain.Comment: Proceedings of 5th CSI National Conference on Education and Research.
