Integration of distributed healthcare information systems: application of CEN/TC251 ENV13606

2005

Everyday, more and more, the healthcare sector requires the exchange of healthcare information between professionals from different disciplines and institutions. To support co-operative work among health professionals and institutions it is necessary to share healthcare information about patients in a meaningful way. But, nowadays, in most hospitals the heath data is distributed across several heterogeneous and autonomous information systems whose interconnection is difficult to achieve. Integration of such system may bring about many advantages such as consistent patient health records or interdepartmental workflows. In this paper, an overview of a computing system prototype, currently und…

Web technologies and multi-criterion analysis used in enterprise integration

2011

The studies, research and solutions presented below started from the acute need of small and medium-sized enterprises to integrate their processes, services and relationships with customers and suppliers, in a cost-effective manner, given the fact that ERP systems are quite expensive for such organizations.

Challenges in implementing ICT in career services : perspectives from career development experts

2018

This article reports the findings from a phenomenographic investigation into career development experts’ conceptions of challenges involved in the implementation of information and communication technologies (ICT) in career services. The results show that these challenges varied from (1) inadequate access to ICT, (2) inadequate access to information, and (3) inadequate skills and competencies, to (4) inadequate integration. These findings provide a deeper understanding of critical aspects that may have an important role in the further development and successful implementation of existing and emerging technologies within the guidance service sector. peerReviewed

Comparing the applicability of two learning theories for knowledge transfer in information system implementation training

2004

This study reviews two traditional learning theories from the viewpoint of knowledge transfer in information system implementation training. The main goal of this study is to determine which is more applicable from the view of knowledge transfer in this context. In this study, behaviourist learning theory is found suitable for the transfer of data and information. Being more learner-centered, constructivist learning theory suits better for information system implementation training, as it enables combining system specific knowledge with knowledge of the existing organisational processes. This creates new organisation-specific knowledge necessary for the effective use of the information syst…

A Context-Based Enterprise Ontology

2007

The main purpose of an enterprise ontology is to promote the common understanding between people across enterprises, as well as to serve as a communication medium between people and applications, and between different applications. This paper outlines a top-level ontology, called the context-based enterprise ontology, which aims to advance the understanding of the nature, purposes and meanings of things in enterprises with providing basic concepts for conceiving, structuring and representing things within contexts and/or as contexts. The ontology is based on the contextual approach according to which a context involves seven domains: purpose, actor, action, object, facility, location, and t…

Reasoning with Multilevel Contexts in Semantic Metanetworks

2000

It is generally accepted that knowledge has a contextual component. Acquisition, representation, and exploitation of knowledge in context would have a major contribution in knowledge representation, knowledge acquisition, and explanation, as Brezillon and Abu-Hakima supposed in [Brezillon and Abu-Hakima, 1995]. Among the advantages of the use of contexts in knowledge representation and reasoning Akman and Surav [Akman and Surav, 1996] mentioned the following: economy of representation, more competent reasoning, allowance for inconsistent knowledge bases, resolving of lexical ambiguity and flexible entailment. Brezillon and Cases noticed however in [Brezillon and Cases, 1995] that knowledge-…

Panel Summary: Behavioural Models

1997

The aim of this paper is to report the panel discussion on behavioural models of human or machine agents interacting with the environment. In particular the following hot points will been analysed: a framework for describing behaviour; learning and evolution; closure and teleonomy when it comes to behaviour; the perception-learning-planning loop; the information integration at the (pre)attentive level; knowing by acting and knowing by computing.

Recruitment, knowledge integration and modes of innovation

2015

Abstract This paper investigates how the strength and intrinsic characteristics of firms’ knowledge bases and processing routines have evolved with the past inflow of employees. The empirical analysis is based on linked public register and innovation survey data for Norway. It finds that recruitment from universities, research institutes and higher education institutions has increased the capacity of firms to generate technical inventions. Yet, the organizational knowledge bases and processing routines on which commercial innovation output depends have been strengthened only by the recruitment that has occurred from related industries. Implications for research, management and policy are dr…

Valodas politika un valodas lietošana kā kopienas integrācijas instruments: Pētījums Latvijas Universitātes studentu vidū

2019

Latvijā ir 1,93 miljoni iedzīvotāju un latviešu valoda ir valsts valoda. Tomēr tikai 60% no iedzīvotājiem runā latviski – krievu valoda ir otrā populārākā valoda. Pēc komunistiskās varas krišanas, valsts valdība īstenoja politiku ļoti daudzeveidīgai iedzīvotāju sociālajai integrācijai. Latvijas pievienošanās ES radīja vairāk jautājumu par pilsonību un valodu lietošanu. Viena no galvenajām valdības prioritātēm bija valodas politikas izveide. Latvijas oficiālā valodas politika ir vērsta uz latviešu valodas kā oficiālas valodas saglabāšanu un popularizēšanu. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir analizēt valodu lietošanu universitātes studentu vidū un to, kā tas ietekmē viņu integrāciju sabeidrībā pēc neatkar…
