Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cannon, A., Kennedy, J. B., Paterson, T., & Watson, M. F. (2004, July). Ontology-Driven Automated Generation of Data Entry Interfaces to Databases. Presented at Key Technologies for Data Management (Proc. BNCOD21): Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3112, Edinburgh, Scotland

This paper discusses an ontology based approach for the automatic generation of data entry interfaces to databases. An existing domain ontology is mapped to a system domain model, which a domain expert can then specialise using their domain expertise...

This paper presents work undertaken as part of an ongoing research programme into wearable computers and the processes for designing personal digital artifacts that exhibit authenticity. Authenticity is discussed in its associations with contemporary... Read More about The Materiality of Wearable Computers – Craft and Authentic User Experience.

Approaches to Storing and Querying Structural Information in Botanical Specimen Descriptions. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., & Kennedy, J. (2004, July). Approaches to Storing and Querying Structural Information in Botanical Specimen Descriptions. Presented at 21st Annual British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD21)

We are developing an ontology as a defined terminology for the taxonomic description of botanical specimens. To allow these descriptions to unambiguously refer to a given plant structure, the ontology specifies compositional relationships between ana...
