The utilization of data presents significant opportunities for enhancing business models and generating value. Consequently, the integration of data into value creation processes has given rise to the emergence of data-driven business models. This study aims to delineate and introduce diverse...

The author, Stephen Schneider, undertakes a holistic analysis of the numerous definitions, descriptions, and concepts that represent the criminological construct referred to as "organized crime." He provides a critical analysis of those researchers who have trafficked in ethnic and racial...

Health, inherently rich in multi-modal data, could profit significantly from artificial intelligence (AI)1 . Yet, adoption of AI in health remains challenging due to three key issues: (1) The "trust barrier": while a plethora of documents based on AI (ethical) principles are available, there...

This technical report discusses the potential use of advanced Artificial Intelligence technologies for mining Open Source Information in the context of Hybrid Threat analysis. Increasing international tensions depict a scenario where Hybrid Threats acquire even more importance than in past years...

Food loss and waste (FLW) is a global challenge. Interoperable FLW ontologies will foster more comprehensive data sharing and inform better solutions to reduce and recover excess food and to valorize wasted food and food byproducts. This review reveals that only eight ontologies currently...

This study investigates the semantic alignment between Airbnb property descriptions and guest reviews. Word2Vec embeddings and affinity propagation clustering are used to identify granular semantic concepts, enabling a detailed comparison of the two text types. A new metric, concept coverage...

Prototyping is an important part of any development activity since it supports communication and knowledge creation among the members of the developing organization. Although prototyping is well established in the development of physical products, less is known about its use and effect on...

This entry discusses the concept of "systemism", elaborates how it implicitly underpinned most seminal works of evolutionary-institutional economics, and explains how future research would benefit from making the systemist nature of evolutionary economics more explicit. More precisely, the paper...

Cyber attacks on healthcare settings increase in frequency and magnitude. They cause significant damage to infrastructures, compromising both continuity and quality of services. Accordingly, policy makers recognise cyber attacks as a growing public health problem (e.g. von der Leyen, 2024). Its...

The renewed engagement with Aristotle's concept of practical wisdom in management and organization studies is reflective of the wider turn towards practice sweeping across many disciplines. In this sense, it constitutes a welcome move away from the traditional rationalist, abstract, and...

This short paper discusses the concept of "systemism", elaborates how it implicitly underpinned most seminal works of evolutionary-institutional economics, and explains how future research would benefit from making the systemist nature of evolutionary economics more explicit. More precisely, the...

Sustainable urban development involves many fields with complex data types and rich semantic relationships, such as the economic, societal, and ecological fields. Knowledge graphs provide a new means for sustainable urban development research by leveraging their strengths in the construction of...

Die für die Planung des Materialflusses relevanten Fertigungsprozesse lassen sich sehr genau planen, beispielsweise über die Leistung der Maschine (Durchsatz je Zeiteinheit). Bei der Planung eines Projektes spielen logistische Prozesse, die zu den Kernprozessen eines Unternehmens gehören,...

Geographical indications (GIs) represent the main legal framework for protecting the tie between site-specific food products and their places of production. Climate change recently emerged as a major challenge to the framework, uncovering its inaptitude to account for shifting product...

Semantic web technologies have the potential to significantly improve urban regulatory data access, integration and usability, with potentially large implications for planning practice. Ontologies are a cornerstone of the semantic web. In this paper, we describe OntoZoning, an ontology...

Despite the omnipresence of the fiduciary in business organisations, there is an omission of theorisations of this legal concept within business ethics literature. This is surprising considering its widespread and embedded use, but even more so given that the presence of ethics within the...

This paper aims to investigate the impact of ontology-based knowledge management on improving tax accounting procedures and reducing tax risks, specifically focusing on the income tax system in a developing country. To achieve this objective, a mixed methodology approach was adopted, combining...

About the necessity and usefulness of developing a philosophy specific to the blockchain technology, emphasizing on the ontological aspects. After an Introduction that highlights the main philosophical directions for this emerging technology, in Blockchain Technology I explain the way the...
