This document describes a system that supports problem-based learning through semantic techniques. The system grounds learner models in semantic repositories to enable semantic-based feedback. It analyzes learner models and reference models to identify discrepancies in terminology, taxonomy, and qualitative reasoning structures. Suggestions are generated and filtered based on agreement across multiple reference models. The system aims to bridge gaps between learner and expert terminology and provide automated feedback to support the learning process.
Concept hierarchy is the backbone of ontology, and the concept hierarchy acquisition has been a hot topic in the field of ontology learning. this paper proposes a hyponymy extraction method of domain ontology concept based on cascaded conditional random field(CCRFs) and hierarchy clustering. It takes free text as extracting object, adopts CCRFs identifying the domain concepts. First the low layer of CCRFs is used to identify simple domain concept, then the results are sent to the high layer, in which the nesting concepts are recognized. Next we adopt hierarchy clustering to identify the hyponymy relation between domain ontology concepts. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed method is efficient.

COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING TECHNIQUEJournal For Research
Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are one of the most used techniques in the field of computer applications. It has become one of the vast and advanced techniques. Language is the means of communication or interaction among humans and in present scenario when everything is dependent on machine or everything is computerized, communication between computer and human has become a necessity. To fulfill this necessity NLP has been emerged as the means of interaction which narrows the gap between machines (computers) and humans. It was evolved from the study of linguistics which was passed through the Turing test to check the similarity between data but it was limited to small set of data. Later on various algorithms were developed along with the concept of AI (Artificial Intelligence) for the successful execution of NLP. In this paper, the main emphasis is on the different techniques of NLP which have been developed till now, their applications and the comparison of all those techniques on different parameters.

This tutorial tries to answer the following questions:
What is the best practice for ontology reuse?
Is it fine to use external ontology entities to model my local entities?
Should I import the ontologies that I reuse?
What if I only need a part of an ontology?
What if an external ontology that I reused, changes?
Conceptual Interoperability and Biomedical DataJim McCusker
The goals of conceptual interoperability are:
Make similar but distinct data resources available for search, conversion, and inter-mapping in a way that mirrors human understanding of the data being searched.
Make data resources that use cross-cutting models (HL7-RIM, provenance models, etc.) interoperable with domain-specific models without explicit mappings between them.

Ontology Engineering at Scale for Open City Data SharingOscar Corcho
Seminar at the School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh.
In this talk we will present how we are applying ontology engineering principles and tools for the development of a set of shared vocabularies across municipalities in Spain, so that they can start homogenising the generation and publication of open data that may be useful for their own internal reuse as well as for third parties who want to develop applications reusing open data once and deploy them for all municipalities. We will discuss on the main challenges for ontology engineering that arise in this setting, as well as present the work that we have done to integrate ontology development tools into common software development infrastructure used by those who are not experts in Ontology Engineering.

Introductory talk on the usage of Linked Data for official statistics, given at the ESS (Linked) Open Data Workshop 2017, in Malta, January 2017.
In this introductory talk we will discuss the main foundations for the application of Linked Data principles into official statistics. We will briefly introduce what Linked Data is, as well as the main principles, languages and technologies behind it (URIs, RDF, SPARQL). We will also discuss about the different formats in which data can be made available on the Web (e.g., RDF Turtle, JSON-LD, CSV on the Web). We will then move into providing a detailed presentation, with step by step examples based on existing Linked Statistical Data sources, of the W3C recommendation RDF DataCube, which is the basis for the dissemination of statistical data as Linked Data. Finally, we will provide some examples of applications, and the opportunities that this approach offers for the development of the proofs of concepts selected by Eurostat and to be discussed during the meeting.

Why do they call it Linked Data when they want to say...?Oscar Corcho
The four Linked Data publishing principles established in 2006 seem to be quite clear and well understood by people inside and outside the core Linked Data and Semantic Web community. However, not only when discussing with outsiders about the goodness of Linked Data but also when reviewing papers for the COLD workshop series, I find myself, in many occasions, going back again to the principles in order to see whether some approach for Web data publication and consumption is actually Linked Data or not. In this talk we will review some of the current approaches that we have for publishing data on the Web, and we will reflect on why it is sometimes so difficult to get into an agreement on what we understand by Linked Data. Furthermore, we will take the opportunity to describe yet another approach that we have been working on recently at the Center for Open Middleware, a joint technology center between Banco Santander and Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, in order to facilitate Linked Data consumption.
Linked Statistical Data: does it actually pay off?Oscar Corcho
Invited keynote at the ISWC2015 Workshop on Semantics and Statistics (SemStats 2015). http://semstats.github.io/2015/
The release of the W3C RDF Data Cube recommendation was a significant milestone towards improving the maturity of the area of Linked Statistical Data. Many Data Cube-based datasets have been released since then. Tools for the generation and exploitation of such datasets have also appeared. While the benefits for the usage of RDF Data Cube and the generation of Linked Data in this area seem to be clear, there are still many challenges associated to the generation and exploitation of such data. In this talk we will reflect about them, based on our experience on generating and exploiting such type of data, and hopefully provoke some discussion about what the next steps should be.
Model Attribute Check Company Auto PropertyCeline George
In Odoo, the multi-company feature allows you to manage multiple companies within a single Odoo database instance. Each company can have its own configurations while still sharing common resources such as products, customers, and suppliers.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
