    Rulebase Integration for eCollaboration

    No full text
    A variety of conflicts between rulebases are identified and guidelines for conflict resolutions are suggested. Based on the classification, a framework for rulebase integration is proposed containing two different integration approaches, namely interoperation and interchange. The problem of semantics-preserving rulebase transformation is discussed, and a solution is given. Function serialization and representation during transformation are also discussed and represented in terms of Functional RuleML.Cet article expose divers conflits entre les bases de r\ue8gles et sugg\ue8re des directives pour la r\ue9solution de ces conflits. Il propose un cadre de travail pour l'int\ue9gration de bases de r\ue8gles, bas\ue9 sur la classification et contenant deux diff\ue9rentes m\ue9thodologies d'int\ue9gration qui font appel respectivement \ue0 l'interop\ue9rabilit\ue9 et \ue0 l'\ue9change. Il traite du probl\ue8me de la transformation \ue0 base de r\ue8gles et pr\ue9servatrice de la s\ue9mantique et pr\ue9sente une solution. Il aborde \ue9galement la s\ue9rialisation et la repr\ue9sentation des fonctions durant la transformation et les repr\ue9sente en fonction du Functional RuleMl (RuleML fonctionnel).NRC publication: Ye

    Diets, Food Choices and Environmental Impacts across an Urban-Rural Interface in Northern Vietnam

    Human diets and their associated environmental impacts differ across segments of the population. There is evidence that consumer choices of food intake can also affect the overall environmental impacts of a food system. This paper analyzes the environmental impact of diets and food choices across a rural–urban transect in Northern Vietnam by using mixed survey data from 619 adult respondents. The average greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) resulting from producing the daily food intake of adults in the urban and peri-urban districts were similar, while the average in the rural district was lower. Although starchy staples contributed the most to energy intake, pork and beef were the largest contributors to GHGE. Metrics of blue water use were higher for diets of males than those of females in all three districts. Interestingly, the difference in mean diet diversity score between urban and rural households was significant, and females’ diets were more diverse than those of males. As expected, urban households were more likely to buy food, while rural households often produced their own foods. Urban households reported prioritizing personal health and the natural content of food and would increase seafood and fruits if their income were to increase. In rural regions, interventions aimed at reducing undernutrition should address improving diet quality without significant increases to diet-related environmental impacts

    Using data collected from a cross-sectional study in Moc Chau, Dong Anh and Cau Giay districts in Vietnam, this report aims to elucidate specific components of local Vietnamese food systems along a rural to urban transect focusing specifically on (i) diets, (ii) nutrition status (anthropometry), (iii) consumer behavior, (iv) food environment, and (v) food flows
