“…The reluctance of the companies to adopt the SW technologies is a critical point (Lytras and Garcia, 2008). Palacios (2006a) investigated the relation between the number of semantic documents and the gross domestic product (GDP) indicating that companies located in countries with higher GDP are not the ones who share more information through semantic documents.…”

Abstract:The web presents an autonomous evolution that could be optimised having moved towards a more formalised semantic. Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web are approaches that target the improvement of the web through mechanisms for sharing information and resources. This document argues that Web 2.0 is not an immature stage of the Semantic Web but an orthogonal dimension of another web aspect, the semantic. Unfortunately, both dimensions are not independent; the more developed a semantic representation of a system is, for being more useful for the Semantic Web, the more distant it is to the Web 2.0. A semantic system highly formalised is less intuitive and less usable for users. The different possible evolutions are: the convergence of both webs, their coexistence and the autonomous evolution of the social web towards other semantic solutions. In order to enable a real Social Semantic Web, eight proposals are sited and discussed.

“…On the other hand, Semantic Technologies have been pointed out as the future of the Web [21] and a new way to support knowledge [22,23] in a wide range of domains [24], including medicine and biomedical domains [25][26][27]. Semantic Technologies, based on ontologies [28], provide a common framework that enables data integration, sharing and reusing from multiple sources.…”

Automated medical diagnosis systems based on knowledge-oriented descriptions have gained momentum with the emergence of semantic descriptions. The objective of this paper is to propose a normalized design that solves some of the problems which have been detected by authors in previous tools. The authors bring together two different technologies to develop a new clinical decision support system: description logics aimed at developing inference systems to improve decision support for the prevention, treatment and management of illness and semantic technologies. Because of its new design, the system is capable of obtaining improved diagnostics compared with previous efforts. However, this evaluation is more focused in the computational performance, giving as result that description logics is a good solution with small data sets. In this paper, we provide a well-structured ontology for automated diagnosis in the medical field and a three-fold formalization based on Description Logics with the use of Semantic Web technologies.

“…The Internet not only constitutes a new communicative medium between the patient and the therapist but is also the future of psychology (González et al, 2000;Kenwright, Marks, Gega, & Mataix-Cols, 2004;Lytras, Damiani, & Ordóñez de Pablos, 2008;Lytras & Ordóñez de Pablos, 2009;Marks, Shaw, & Parkin, 1998;Richter & Naumann, 2000;Riva, Molinari, & Vincelli, 2002;Vincelli, 1999;). An Internet environment designed and built for psychology purposes may use such tools as e-mail, chat rooms, discussion forums and audio and video conference for the communication and interaction of the therapist with the patient, tools which are also used for educational purposes in traditional e-learning environments (Albano, Gaeta, & Salerno, 2006;Lytras, 2007;Lytras & Garcia, 2008;Lytras & Ordóñez de Pablos, 2007;Lytras & Sicilia, 2005;Ordóñez de Pablos, 2002;Rodriguez Pérez & Ordóñez de Pablos, 2003).…”

a b s t r a c tCognitive science is the scientific domain which studies, analyzes, simulates and infers for various aspects, functions and procedures of human mentality such as, thinking, logic, language, knowledge, memory, learning, perception and the ability to solve problems. E-psychology is in close relation with the cognitive science domain, but expands beyond it, as e-psychology is the efficient convergence of psychology and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). E-psychology offers a number of services such as supporting, diagnosis, assessment, therapy, counseling, intervention and tests through an effective exploitation of ICTs. This article presents a user-friendly, flexible and adaptive electronic platform, which supports both synchronous and asynchronous e-psychology activities through the use of informative and communicative tools and services, which can be adapted to support various methods of e-psychology activities. It is important to underline that e-psychology is not an alternative psychology field, but a resource to enhance the conventional psychology process.
