ISO/TC 37
standards tutorial
The first segment of the TC 37 tutorial
will present the Basic Principles of Terminology Management, outlining the essential
criteria upon which ISO 704 is based, with an emphasis on terminology from ISO
1087. Analogies will be drawn between the definition of terms and concepts on
the one hand and the definition of data element concepts on the other. Special
emphasis will be placed on writing effective definitions and the representation
of concepts using well motivated terms and other means. |

Tutorial and futures: ISO/IEC 11179 Part 3 Metadata Registries.
Starting with basic attributes used to describe data, this
presentation will briefly cover the MDR metamodel, which lays out a broader set
of attributes that can be used to record information about data and
terminology/concept structures. It will cover the basic foundation of ISO/IEC
11179 Metadata Registries and how to use this type of registry. This standard is
the "heart" of the 11179 family of standards. |

Workshop: Tutorials on
TMF/TBX, LMF/LBX,
and OLIF.
TBX (an application
of TMF [ISO 16642]), OLIF, and LMF (a forthcoming TC37 standard) are formats based
on the metadata approach. They are used for exchanging lexical/terminological
information, which are representing major types of information to be stored and
maintained in large - possibly distributed and federated - multilingual repositories/registries
for common use in eBusiness, eLearning, eHealth, etc.
This workshop is
a specialized workshop for people knowledgeable in this area. It will consist of
three one-hour tutorials. The introductory
tutorials for SC 37 standards are in Track 1 |

ISO
TC 37 is creating a Data Category Registry (DCR) as an online open-source xml-based
resource for use by implementers of electronic language resources, including terminologies,
presentational and non-presentational lexical resources, NLP lexica, etc. The
DCR will allow dynamic generation of data category selections (DCSs), e.g., subsets
of the collection reflecting various thematic domains and different data category
classes and functions. The DCR will facilitate interchange and interoperability
in heterogeneous environments. Participation of a wide range of experts from the
broader computing community is important, as is provision for user-friendly guidance
for implementers of databases and other resources. |

JISC IE Metadata Schema Registry
This presentation describes a project, which is developing a pilot registry
service to support the description of the metadata application profiles actually
deployed by services within the Joint Information Systems Commission (JISC)
Information Environment ( IE). It is distinctive in that it is targeted at the
spectrum of education communities, both the learning and research communities,
and aims to provide a service sufficiently generic to handle schema based on
both the Dublin Core and IEEE LOM.

Automated Data Cleansing for an Advanced Generation Data Warehouse
Further to work on use of metadata to establish a model driven

perform automated Data Cleansing driven by 2 levels of metadata. Using
ISO 9075 SQL schemata, information schema, and supporting metadata, we
automatically generate data cleansing applications (about 150,000 lines
of program code) for our daily incremental and full Data Warehouse data
loads, and are able to report all integrity violations and data needing
manual attention. |

includes Simple Common Logic (SCL). The goal of SCL is to provide a logical framework
which can support communication between agents and use without requiring complex
negotiations between the agents. |

Biocomplexity Thesaurus Web Service
The Biocomplexity Thesaurus is a merger of five
preexisting thesauri on biological topics (CSA Aquatic Sciences and
Fisheries Thesaurus, CSA Life Sciences Thesaurus, CSA Pollution
Thesaurus, CSA Sociological Thesaurus, and CERES/NBII Thesaurus) that
lists nearly 10,000 terms and 60,000 relationships.
A
web site (http://thesaurus.nbii.gov)
has been available to query the thesaurus. However, the need to make the
content of the Biocomplexity Thesaurus available to distributed
applications has resulted in the development of a Web service to meet
the need. The service is written in Java and has a WSDL service
description. Axis was used to create the SOAP implementation. The Web
service will be used to enhance searching in the NBII metadata
clearinghouse and NBII’s geospatial applications. |
