“…This research is the continuation of former work [22][23][24], which organized knowledge and constructed the channel for exchanging information on the ethnic groups in Thailand in the form of ontology taxonomy and linked open data. This research differs from the previous work as demonstrated in Table 4, especially in the scope of knowledge that has been expanded to cover the ethnic groups in the Mekong River Basin and the thesaurus construction with broad terms, narrow terms, related terms, and vocabulary relationships as well as cross references.…”

“…Chaikhambung and Tuamsuk additionally conducted a study and categorized the ethnic groups in Thailand in order to build an ontology for semantic search purposes, which was based on knowledge organization. The ethnic groups in Thailand have been divided into 12 classes and 51 subclasses [22,23]. Later, Chansanam et al [24], extended the finding by arranging the Thai ethnic groups ontology in an accessible form using linked open data technology.…”

This research was aimed at constructing a thesaurus of the ethnic groups in the Mekong River Basin that is a compilation of controlled vocabularies of both Thai and English language, with a digital platform that enables semantic search and linked open data. The research method involved four steps: (1) organization of knowledge content; (2) construction of the thesaurus; (3) development of a digital thesaurus platform; and (4) evaluation. The concepts and theories used in the research comprised knowledge organization, thesaurus construction, digital platform development, and system evaluation. The tool for developing the digital thesaurus was the Tematres web application. The research results are: (1) there are 4273 principle words related to the ethnic groups that have been compiled and classified by the terms for each of the eight deep levels, 2596 were found to have hierarchical relationships, and 6858 had associative relationships; (2) the digital thesaurus platform was able to manage the controlled vocabularies related to the Mekong ethnic groups by storing both Thai and English vocabularies. When retrieved, the vocabulary, details of the broader term, narrow term, related term, cross reference, and scope note are displayed. Thus, semantic search is viable through applications, linked open data technology, and web services.

“…While [27] talk about creating ontologies, they also suggest using thesauri as a starting point. In this view, EGMRB Thesaurus employed knowledge structure [28] based on ethnicity in six countries, moreover utilized semantic data categorization using a LOD framework [25], expanding researchers' boundaries.…”

The ethnic group domain, in particular, is characterized by rich and diverse data sets in the Mekong River Basin (MRB). Ethnic groups’ vocabulary and relevant data come from various sources that cross history, language, and geography. As a result, distinct language is used by specialized groups to characterize their artifacts. Data interoperability among multiple catalogs is highly challenging as a result of this. The usage of controlled vocabularies and thesauri is generally considered a major practice for making preparations for standardization, which is essential for data reuse and sharing. In contrast, when used together, thesauri eliminate ambiguity in natural language, making it easier to identify and integrate data from different sources and allow scholars and computer programs to understand data more efficiently. This paper describes the modeling process of the EGMRB Thesaurus, its integration and role in the infrastructure, its publication as Linked Open Data, and the results of this work after six months of development. This paper presents the rationale behind the realization of this thesaurus. Thesaurus EGMRB (http://thesaurus.asiana.net/vocab/) provides a semantic resource on ethnic groups in the Mekong river basin. EGMRB is the outcome of interdisciplinary cooperation of specialists from the domains of ethnic groups and information science, who collaborated in the context of collaborative research. The thesaurus was developed in Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS), a standard data format based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), using semantic web standard technologies. EGMRB is freely available online, with a SPARQL endpoint (http://thesaurus.asiana.net/vocab/sparql.php) for querying and an API (http://thesaurus.asiana.net/vocab/services.php) for system integration. Digital collections, digital exhibits, and a virtual study environment are being built as part of a digital platform that will give scholars and the general users search and content curation services. EGMRB, which provides unified ideas with related unique and resolvable URIs, can profoundly reduce the barriers to data discovery, integration, and sharing if adopted as a standard and carefully implemented and expanded by the academic community.

“…Moreover, the people in each region of Thailand tend to have specific characteristics and appearancesbecause of different demography, histories, and genetic structures among major Thai populations. 6,7 Therefore, it was probable that this phenomenon was probable to influence the variation in genetic pattern of autosomal STRincluding the allele frequencies of STRs in individual population. It is important to understand the genetic structure in individual population for providing the database and scientifically reliable results for forensic genetic purposes.…”

Background: Although the genetic information of STRs has been established over the entire world, the different characteristics between populations influenced the STRs information. FBI's guideline recommended to expand additional number of STRs loci to increase power of discrimination and exclusion. Unfortunately, the current data of STRs in northern Thai population have not fully covered additional loci. The aim of this study is to obtain accurate allele frequencies of STRs among northern Thai population. Methods:The genetic profiles ofunrelated individuals were characterized by Investigator 24 plex Go kit. Allele frequencies and forensic statistical parameters were calculated within GenoProof ® 3and Arlequin ver 3.5.2.2. Results:The SE33 and TH01 loci represented largest and lowest number of different alleles, respectively. There was no significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) after Bonferroni correction in all loci (p=0.002). The SE33 locus showed the greatest PD and PE, whereas the TPOX represented the lowest PD and PE. The studied population (northern Thai) appear to be most closely related to previously reported populations containing of Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese based on allele frequency. Conclusion:Our results recommended that current autosomal STRs data extended the application of STRs typing in parentage analyses and human identification among the localized population in northern region of Thailand due to highly informative polymorphic data.
