An Ontology-Based Framework for Authoring Tools in the Domain of Sustainable Energy Education

Information systems relate to diverse applications, but, until recently, the use of this technology in agriculture and environment has been relatively behind the applications in the industrial sector. The publication of IJAEIS started in 2010 in order to promote the new research advances in information systems applied to agriculture and environment. This paper presents an overview of the different scientific issues presented in the 50 papers published in IJAEIS between 2010 and 2013. The authors summarize the different contributions presented in IJAEIS and the authors identify the main trends in the field of agricultural and environmental information systems (ontologies, communication systems, spatial information processing, etc.).

“…Topological relationships are expressed in RDF/OWL and can be combined with thematic ontologies. There are several examples of ontologies for environmental applications (Hunter, Becker, Alabri, Van Ingen, & Abal, 2011;Karetsos, Haralampopoulos, & Kotis, 2011;Martin, Martin-Clouaire, Rellier, & Duru, 2011;Pinet, Roussey, Brun, & Vigier, 2009;Pinet, et al, 2006). The individuals of an ontology can be queried in SPARQL, and the queries can include topological and thematic relations.…”

This paper proposes an operational approach to (1) formalize, in Description Logics (DL), the topological relations between simple regions and (2) automatically check whether a set of relations is consistent. The solution allows for the use of traditional DL reasoners (Pellet, Fact++, etc.) to check the consistency of relations and detect the sources of error. The solution does not require any specific extension of the DL or reasoner. The authors demonstrate how to apply this approach with Protégé and Fact++. Different spatial relations in agricultural and environmental applications are also provided to illustrate the possible uses of our method.

Integration of Competencies in an Ontology-Based Framework Supporting Teachers to Construct Learning Designs in the Domain of Sustainable Energy Education In previous work, a framework based on three ontologies (content, learning design and sustainable energy domain models) was introduced in order to support teachers to construct learning designs in the field of sustainable energy education. This paper is focusing on the integration of a competency model in the structure of this framework. This model actually interconnects the other three models by establishing connections between learning objects, learners, activities, learning objectives/competencies and knowledge in the sustainable energy domain. It enriches the description of learning resources enabling their search and retrieval via queries based on competency parameters and can also support competency-based reasoning in order for the competency gaps to be filled. The competency model came as an answer to a literature review triggered by some results of a Wizard of Oz experiment along with the aim to integrate into the framework sets of questions supporting learning in sustainable energy domain.
