Dataset Quality Ontology - An Engineering Experiencejerdeb
Data quality is commonly defined as fitness for use. Many data consumers face the problem of identifying the quality of data. Data publishers, on the other hand, often do not have the means to identify quality issues in their data. To make the task for both stakeholders easier, we have developed the Dataset Quality Ontology (daQ) [1]. daQ is a core vocabulary for representing the results of quality benchmarking of a linked dataset. It represents quality metadata as multi-dimensional and statistical observations using the Data Cube Vocabulary. Quality metadata are organised as a self-contained graph, which can be embedded into linked datasets to support quality-based retrieval and ranking. During this talk the discussion will include design issues behind the daQ vocabulary and how it helped evolving the upcoming W3C Data Quality Vocabulary initiative [2], and some ontology quality issues related to ontologies and vocabularies.

A new approach for building student model in an
Adaptive and intelligent Web-Based Educational System
(AIWBES) is introduced. This approach utilizes a hybrid
algorithm based on Fuzzy-ART2 neural network and stochastic
method called Hidden Markov Model (HMM), in order to
evaluate and categorize students’ knowledge status in six levels:
Excellent, very good, good, fair, weak and very weak; depending
on 5 parameters collected through their interactions with the
system. The student model is initialized by presenting a pre-test
form to students and it is updated dynamically according to their
study times and assessment results. Students' knowledge status
are modeled through three phases, initialization, training and
recall phases. In the initialization phase, input vectors are
normalized before they are categorized using unsupervised
algorithm Fuzzy-ART2 in 6 clusters representing 6 knowledge
status. A HMM is created for each cluster and when new
students' parameters are collected, they are introduced to Baum-
Welch re-estimation algorithm to train the 6 HMMs and to
maximize the observed sequence that is associated with a
particular cluster. Forward algorithm evaluates then the
likelihood of this sequence with respect to each of the HMMs and
to determine the maximum value, which represents the actual
knowledge status of the student. Experiment results show that
the proposed approach is capable of categorizing student
parameter vectors to their corresponding cluster with good
accuracies. The result of such classifications would open new
horizons and applications in AIWBES.

…the other side of the coin…
Security: The wireless communication systems are more
vulnerable than traditional systems via cable or wires
…the advantages
Security is enough for educational environments
Training should focus on learning to use a specific robotic
equipment, where direct practice prevails against everything
else

Installation and equipment costs in wireless learning
environments
Selection and adaptation of environment in which it will be
developed the learning
Wires:
Installation of rails to accommodate the wires
So many connectors as computers and robots to be used
Switches needed to try to save installation time
Adequate supervision and control cable lengths and pinched them
Wireless:
Decide the tool to use communication (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, IrDA)
Install the respective receiver/transmitters on the PCs and robots
Less material, less hours for installation, etc. => Less costs on time
and money

Safe E-learning
Student interaction with equipment and tools on-line:
Wires:
Presence of a supervisor who avoids possible accidents
Limits the flexibility in the use of these systems
Reduce operating time depends on the availability of a third
party to conduct the activity
Wireless:
Facilitate student interaction from remote terminals without
physical presence in the classroom or lab environment
The only parameter to ensure will be a good wireless
connection in place and, of course, a good Internet access

Safe E-learning
On academic environment:
The student can anticipate possible experiments based on the
study,
increasing their curiosity about the use of the robot to use,
or develop new uses for it, out of the face and tutoring of
traditional classroom, or supplementing it
On industrial environment:
This type of remote communication can be the difference
between a significant reduction of errors by the operator when
working with a new team,
or avoid long hours of classroom training in place work that will
result in a waste of time and decreasing in production

Increased student motivation
Student interaction with equipment and tools:
Wires:
Discomfort of having to connect and disconnect a robot kit every
time we have to load new software on it
Risks of unintentional injuries
Difficulties to work in group. People + Cables= Uncomfortable
Wireless:
Load of data with a single click. Agile feedback student-robot
Low risk
Comfortable to team working
But wireless is not everything…

Increased student motivation
Student interaction with software (other stone in front of
motivation):
Specific software:
Must be easy to use and avoid agile feedback between student and
robot
If needed, is better teaching its use on a specific course for avoid
overcharge the student

Increased student motivation
The scary question: Was the student motivated?
Survey : If you want to know how the students felt the class,
please, answer it to them!
Feedback: Even during the course. Every time is a good time
to change if the next way is better
Look at them: Look the students, their way of work, their
activities during the class, can give to us more information that
any other tool

Increasing autonomy of the robot
Wires:
Cables block the movement
Slow movement and, in many cases,
prevents certain rotations or translations
The robot that can end up caught between
them
Wireless:
The only limit: Wide range of communication
(usually more length than cable length)
Can help test the robot, and handling,
from a safe distance,
or through windows or rooms away from the
main interface handling

Increasing autonomy of the robot
A special cases for remove unnecessary wiring:
Bipedal robots:
Facilitate the movement and mobility is even greater
The crucial point is the balance of the robot
Misplaced cable or tension, can cause problems in the configuration
of the load of the servos. That problems can affect to the instructions
of software and eventually cause failure of the mobility tests
