Human Performance and Cognition Ontology

This project involves extending our work in focused knowledge (entity-relationship) extraction from scientific literature, automatic taxonomy extraction from selected community authored content (eg Wikipedia), and semi-automatic ontology development with limited expert guidance. These will be combined to create an ontology engineering system that will allow domain experts to semi-automatically create ontologies through an iterative process resulting in a comprehensive human performance ontology.


Goal

Develop a human cognitive performance ontology (HCPO) that will serve as an umbrella covering relevant aspects of human performance (e.g. cognitive performance, physical performance, immune performance, performance degraders, etc.). This knowledge base will help address issues across a continuum of granularity (i.e. from gene pathway cell organ individual performance and ultimately to group performance and human-system integration). Stressors that can affect human cognition will be included under appropriate categories.(Read more)
