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...

Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Clayton, S., & Kerridge, J. (2004). Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems. In I. R. East, D. Duce, M. Green, J. M. Martin, & P. H. Welch (Eds.), Communicating Process Architectures 2004 (85-98)

The javax.comm package provides basic low-level access between Java programs and external input-output devices, in particular, serial devices. Such communications are handled using event listener technology similar to that used in the AWT package. Us... Read More about Active Serial Port: A Component for JCSP. Net Embedded Systems.

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...

A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Paterson, T., Kennedy, J., Pullan, M. R., Cannon, A., Armstrong, K. E., Watson, M. F., Raguenaud, C., McDonald, S. M., & Russell, G. (2004, March). A universal character model and ontology of defined terms for taxonomic description. Presented at Data Integration in the Life Sciences. First International Workshop, DILS 2004

Taxonomists classify biological specimens into groups (taxa) on the basis of similarities between their observed features (characters). The description of these characters is therefore central to taxonomy, but there is currently no agreed model, defi...

Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Russell, G., & Cumming, A. (2004, December). Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking. Presented at Cognition and Expolaratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2004), Hotel Altis, Lisbon, Portugal

An online interactive learning environment which offers immediate feedback to student learning SQL was constructed. This has supported the gathering of interesting statistics on student behaviour. Changes to the environment targeted at improving stud... Read More about Improving the student learning experience for SQL using automatic marking..
