“…Dessa forma, um estudo de 2020 apresentou modelos ontológicos que representam relações semânticas entre conceitos, podendo fornecer uma base sólida para desenvolver sistemas de informação e aplicações que atendam às necessidades específicas das pessoas com deficiência. Isso pode ter um impacto significativo na melhoria dos serviços, na promoção da inclusão e no avanço das tecnologias voltadas para essa população (13).…”

Objective: Identify challenges in the applicability of ontological models that represent relationships and elements of health management competencies. Methods: Scoping Review, according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) and the guiding question: “What are the challenges in the applicability of ontological models that represent the health management competencies described in health in the literature?”. Included national and international studies, English, Portuguese and Spanish, in the time span of 2015 to 2020. Results: The search strategy was applied in eight databases; 2024 articles were found and eight were selected as the final sample. The studies highlighted the following difficulties in this theoretical framework: interpretation of complex, heterogeneous and dispersed data by health managers, lack of automation in patient monitoring, lack of training of health managers, inadequate task distribution and workload of the nursing team and also, deficiency in decision-making shared between health professionals and the patient. Conclusions: The application of ontological models in health management systems resulted in time optimization, data integration and better management decision-making in order to positively help the work of health professionals and managers.

“…A myriad of ontologies is proposed to remove the barriers to using technologies for disabled persons ( [104,105]). Ontological models and taxonomies may be used to express diverse aspects of a disability, including the type of disability, interaction context, abilities, and policies, among other entities.…”

Integrating smart heterogeneous objects, IoT devices, data sources, and software services to produce new business processes and functionalities continues to attract considerable attention from the research community due to its unraveled advantages, including reusability, adaptation, distribution, and pervasiveness. However, the exploitation of service-oriented computing technologies (e.g., SOC, SOA, and microservice architectures) by people with special needs is underexplored and often overlooked. Furthermore, the existing challenges in this area are yet to be identified clearly. This research study presents a rigorous literature survey of the recent advances in service-oriented composition approaches and solutions for disabled people, their domains of application, and the major challenges, covering studies published between January 2010 and October 2022. To this end, we applied the systematic literature review (SLR) methodology to retrieve and collate only the articles presenting and discussing service composition solutions tailored to produce digitally accessible services for consumption by people who suffer from an impairment or loss of some physical or mental functions. We searched six renowned bibliographic databases, particularly IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, Springer Link, ACM Library, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar, to synthesize a final pool of 38 related articles. Our survey contributes a comprehensive taxonomy of service composition solutions, techniques, and practices that are utilized to create assistive technologies and services. The seven-facet taxonomy helps researchers and practitioners to quickly understand and analyze the fundamental conceptualizations and characteristics of accessible service composition for people with disabilities. Key findings showed that services are fused to assist disabled persons to carry out their daily activities, mainly in smart homes and ambient intelligent environments. Despite the emergence of immersive technologies (e.g., wearable computing), user-service interactions are enabled primarily through tactile and speech modalities. Service descriptions mainly incorporate functional features (e.g., performance, latency, and cost) of service quality, largely ignoring accessibility features. Moreover, the outstanding research problems revolve around (1) the unavailability of assistive services datasets, (2) the underspecification of accessibility aspects of disabilities, (3) the weak adoption of accessible and universal design practices, (4) the abstraction of service composition approaches, and (5) the rare experimental testing of composition approaches with disabled users. We conclude our survey with a set of guidelines to realize effective assistive service composition in IoT and cloud environments. Researchers and practitioners are advised to create assistive services that support the social relationships of disabled users and model their accessibility needs as part of the quality of service (QoS). Moreover, they should exploit AI/ML models to address the evolving requirements of disabled users in their unique environments. Furthermore, weaknesses of service composition solutions and research challenges are exposed as notable opportunities for future research.

“…The necessity of implementing flexible, adaptable, and personalized systems, which allow and assist such individuals in performing various activities using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), has become apparent. Along this direction, the work of [105] emphasized describing and grouping key uses of Semantic Web tools towards more personalized and adaptive computerized systems, enabling people with disabilities to easily interact and communicate. The key concept beyond this study lies in the fact that information can be modeled in different domains related to people with various kinds of disability using ontologies and models, which can be adapted and/or reformulated depending on the case.…”

In this review paper, we look into how a recommendation system can be adapted to and support people with intellectual disability (ID). We start by reviewing and comparing the main classes of techniques for general-purpose content recommendation. Then, centering on individuals with ID, we collect information on their special needs that may be relevant to or affected by content recommendation tasks. We review the few existing recommendation systems specifically designed or adapted to the needs of this population and finally, based on the reviewed literature sources, we catalog the traits that a future content recommendation system should have in order to respond well to the identified special needs. We hope this listing of desirable traits and future directions in our concluding sections will stimulate research towards opening the doors to the digital world for individuals with ID.
