I'm trying to create a java app which uses information from a medical guideline to support the activity a doctor. The use case is that when the doctor asks a question or inputs a scenario to the system, it responds with the recommendations from the guideline that best fit the situation.
My idea is to extract name, relations and their knowledge graph from my document and use them to do some reasoning.
My questions are:
With AlchemyAPI can I extract entities using an external service? (Like a medical dictionary such as UMLS or MedlinePlus)
For those entities can I extract their knowledge graph and expand it with reasoning?
If it is not possible, would Knowledge Studio help me with this task? ( My document is a relatively small pdf, at maximum 100 pages)
This is a curiosity: Is there for Watson services some detailed Javadoc other than sdk doc, basic class tree, and tutorials?
Thank you for your help.
Take a look at the Natural Language Understanding (NLU) demo and see if the results based on some text from your use case are good enough. Otherwise, you will have to train a Knowledge Studio model and use it with NLU.
Watson doesn' have a knowledge graph that you can manipulate so you will have to develop this part. Once you get the entities from (1) you will have to create the knowledge graph.
Yes, see (1).
From your answer I assume you are using Java, in any case I think you need to first read the documentation for:
Natural Language Understanding
Knowledge Graph
Discovery. I think that those 100 pages you need to analyze could be stored using this service which will help you to also run some other NLP tasks on those documents.

I m trying to understand better the two frameworks therfore i m trying to figure out the similarities and differences between FIteagle framework and OpenIot because both of the frameworks includes the same aims, the first one provides a testbeds environments which provide different resources to manage and communicate with and the second one provides the possiblity to connect to different sensors within a database cloud and it provide the ability to communicate with the sensors and to aply some IoT services on it. Does anyone has an idea about the two frameworks ?
Not being familiar with any of the above frameworks, I would say that eventually all IoT frameworks will focus on virtual markets in order to deliver industry-specific services. Consider transportation and smart grids - those are completely separate industries. for example, in transportation - geo analytics is much more important than in smart grids where meters tend to have fixed locations.
For those who are still interesting and making research in this area and looking for a detailed comparative and understanding of the two frameworks, I published a paper in this matter which contain a specific and a complete understanding of both frameworks. Since the paper is not uploaded yet to the internet Please get in touch with me in case you want to read it.
I will provide a link here as soon as I upload it.
I'd like to pose this question since it seems to be a point of some debate and I'd like to know the communities thoughts on it.
To give you a bit of background to the way the team I work in operates and give this question some context, we're writing cucumbers for a RESTful API at a session called 'Three Amigos'. Three Amigos basically means there will be a Tech Lead, Developer (one or more) and BA (one or more) involved in fleshing out the acceptance criteria for a story. As part of this session the BA usually drives writing the gherkins for the cucumbers.
Here's an example to kick it off. If I have a RESTful API for getting back information about a car I may have a scenario that says:-
Scenario: Engine size should appear in the car
Given a car exists
When I request the car
Then the car should have a "1700cc" engine capacity
Or you could write it like
Scenario: Engine size should appear in the car
Given a "Mazda/ModelABC" car exists with an engine capacity
When I GET "Mazda/ModelABC"
Then the response should contain "1700cc" engine capacity
Now the first one in my eyes is easier all round to read but will not promote code re-use (is this a big deal?). The second promotes code re-use and is written from the perspective of a stakeholder i.e. a developer but a Business Analyst (BA) would not write it like this so it would make a Three Amigos session fairly pointless.
Given the two approaches which is the more highly recommended choice? I have opted for the first approach in my case but I'm interested to know what the arguments for either method are or if there are some decent articles people can back up the suggestions with that would suggest which approach should really be used.
Thanks.
You can put "IMHO" after every paragraph in this answer. This is my experience after doing BDD / Specification by example for four years.
BDD is about communication.
BDD is about understanding each other in the entire team.
Cucumber is (just) a tool that facilitates communication. The only reason to use Cucumber (and the extra abstractions it adds) is because it will make it easier to understand each other than other formats.
If we were only developers in the team we would probably be better off using code.
So, to answer your question, if your BA's and customers understand GET, POST etc then it might be appropriate to use that in the specification. But beware that you've just tied the specification to the implementation. Changes will propagate even into the Cucumber scenarios.
More likely your first example is format that your customers and BA's can relate to and understand straight off.
But, of course, it depends on the level of technical details your non-technical team members are using. Make it easy for everyone to understand.
BDD is about communication.
Here's some presentations on the subject that I've found both useful and in one case thoroughly entertaining:

Mainly, I was wondering what advantages the ontology languages of RDFS/OWL has over using a markup system (such as http://www.schema.org/) for managing and creating metadata?
I'm still very confused about how different concepts of the "Semantic Web" are supposed to fit together in the overall picture... The relation between RDF/RDFS/RDFa? OWL? URIs? and finally, XML and SQL/SPARQL? All the descriptions I've read about so far about them make sense individually, but I'm not sure if I could be able to use them as tools if someone were to tell me to implement and query an ontology, for instance. Or any simple examples that can be provided is greatly appreciated.
So Webster Thesaurus followed ashutosh raina's advice and went to answers.semanticweb.com. To facilitate retrieval of the corresponding question there, here is the link: What's the difference between using RDFS/OWL versus XML?
There should be a script redirecting all questions with the "semantic-web" tag to answers.semanticweb.com ;)
We need to visualize BP (business process) into BPMN, but NOT by hands using modeler. We need to do it automatically in crm-web-based system written on PHP. I have input data (etc. array, xml, not care...(but not BPEL)), then I need to process it into nice BPMN graph (using SVG).
We have first nice-looking realization of it. We use matrix to draw: several times goes through matrix and optimize graph each time, no no, it working fast, but it not agile, hard to rebuilt, upgrade, add new features... We made this algorithm by ourselves (I mean we didn't find it in google or books). Problem is that we couldn't find any algorithms in the internet. I suppose we don't know correct keywords to do it. Every try returned us to BPEL vis. from BPMN, "Data flow vis." returned modelers...
Please help us to find some algorithms, or give correct keywords to find out information.
Think you're probably looking for "graph layout algorithms". The only library I'm aware of that can (I think) generate BPMN directly is the yFiles library from yWorks. It's not free. They do however offer a free application using the library that does auto-layout. Perhaps you could do some prototyping with that.
If that's not applicable, there are several other options. I'm not aware any of these can generate BPMN symbols directly; you'd have to construct the symbols. However all will auto-layout graphs according to various algorithms. Also all open source/free.
graphviz. Written in C. Quite old now but well used, stable and scalable.
tulip. Newer than graphviz. Haven't used it but heard good things about flexibility and scalability.
see also this post for javascript based options.
There are many more, just google for graph layout algorithms / libraries.

I've got a table that I'd like to present. However, a lot the information in it is only useful in aggregated or visual form.
For example, the country column it itself is boring, but a aggregating all the entries of a country would be really useful. Coordinates are in there as well, so any solution should be able to present stuff on a map.
Note that the solution can be non-web, but I'd really prefer a web application everyone can access. What I've found so far is just the Google Maps API, but that's not very good at showing non-geographical information, is it?
Note that the table has a lot of dimensions, often nominal or ordinal (i.e. no numbers), so visual and plotting-focussed libraries are not that good.
EDIT: maybe that would help you, in absence of other answers
Today, this article popped into my RSS reader: Patterns of Destruction?: Visualizing Earthquake Data w/Tableau.
The author uses Tableau to visualize his data and mentions also Data Applied and GoodData.
Combine the Google Maps API with something like the Javascript Visualization Toolkit?
There are may libraries out there that might do the trick as well:
