In this paper, we introduce a Healthcare-Event (H-event) based knowledge extraction approach on a hybrid data repository. The repository collects (with individual user's permission) dynamic and large volume healthcare related data from various resources such as wearable sensors, social media Web APIs and our application itself. The proposed extraction approach relies on two data processing processes. One is the data integration process to dynamically retrieving the large data using public data service APIs. The first process also generates a set of big knowledge bases and stored in NoSQL storage. This paper will focus on the second extraction process that is the H-Event based ontological knowledge extraction for detecting and monitoring user's healthcare related situations, such as medical symptoms, treatments, conditions and daily activities from the NoSQL knowledge bases. The second process can be seen as post-processing step to detect more explicit healthcare knowledge about personalised health conditions and represent the knowledge using RDF formats in a semantic triple repository to enhance further data analytics.Citation

Motivating scientific knowledge workers: an investigation of the rewards leading to the motivation of scientific knowledge workersEdginton, Joanne (University of Bedfordshire, 2012-10)Numerous studies have been previously conducted, investigating motivation and the role of rewards as motivators for knowledge workers. While many studies have investigated knowledge workers, the scientific knowledge worker group has attracted little attention. Through a survey carried out on 132 scientific knowledge workers employed in a Research and Development function, this study identifies which rewards motivate this group of knowledge workers and investigates the differences of reported motivation from these rewards between the different demographics of the respondents. The results from this study highlight that there are inconsistencies in reported motivations between the different demographics surveyed, namely gender, age and educational background. This study also discovers that scientific knowledge workers are most motivated by financial rewards, progression, job title and recognition. These findings recommend that further research is required to fully understand the rewards leading to the motivation of scientific knowledge workers and the difference in demographics. It is also recommended that businesses employing scientific knowledge workers recognise the importance of these factors in motivating their employees, in order to ensure motivation, job satisfaction and high performance, thus leading to a competitive advantage.
