Subject: RE: [ihc] FW: [cam] CAM, understanding, wording and semantic dispersion
Brett, The recorded webcast is now online - http://videocast.nih.gov/ram/km020606.ram Knowledge in Service to Health: Leveraging Knowledge for Modern Science Management Monday, February 06, 2006 NIH Total Running Time: 03:34:54 and the individual PPTs here: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/KM/OERRM/OER_KM_events/ Enjoy, DW -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [ihc] FW: [cam] CAM, understanding, wording and semantic dispersion From: "Brett Trusko" <brett.trusko@oasis-open.org> Date: Thu, February 09, 2006 11:16 am To: <ihc@lists.oasis-open.org> FYI From: David RR Webber (XML) [mailto:david@drrw.info] Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2006 6:46 AM To: cam@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: bcm@lists.oasis-open.org; ebsoa@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [cam] CAM, understanding, wording and semantic dispersion I attended presentations here at NIH yesterday on the subject of knowledge management and Dr Barend Mons from the Netherlands said something very suscinct that encapsulates what I believe the whole CAM and prior work on BRIM is quintessentially focused on achieving: The challenge is to normalize the semantic dispersion between information points and the associated processing systems. Aligned with this is the fact that the KM community has also settled on using the UID concept to solve the riddle of semantic interoperability of terms, along with creating authoritative sources to manage those reference codelists. They realized that word based systems are not enough since synonyms, homonyms and acronyms are too problematic: e.g. Homonyms PSA Prostate Specific Antigen PSoriaticArthritis alpha-2,8-PolySialic Acid PolySubstanceAbuse PicrylSulfonicAcid Polymeric SilicicAcid Partial Sensory Agnosia Poultry Science Association So while KM information alignment is mostly the domain of OWL, ontologies and such - there is a common thread revolving around registry use and establishing a common vocabulary. I have updated the Kavi CAM welcome text to include this notion - my thanks to Dr Mons - and BTW - his presentations are well worth a look - just Google on his name - that in an of itself is an impressive instance of leveraging a unique knowledge identifier!! ; -) Enjoy, DW --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this mail list, you must leave the OASIS TC that generates this mail.
