Case Study Cafe 4: Developing KOS Instruments for Multi-Agency Use
Most of the taxonomy and KOS work we are familiar with are to develop instruments within a single organisation, or for a single user community. However, government organisations, NGOs, intergovernmental organisations, development agencies and professional groups at large are increasingly being asked to tackle the major challenges of our time, whether it be climate change, global pandemic, disaster resilience, migration, socio-economic or political turmoil. How do we help different agencies and disciplines cooperate with each other on these big challenges facing human society, through common vocabularies and knowledge organisation systems? In this case study cafe, which will be discussion-intensive, we will examine two cases of developing knowledge organisation instruments for multi-agency use.
In Case 7, Mona Anand, formerly of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), will describe a project she led to develop a global Lexicon of concepts, definitions, relationships, and illustrative case studies, to standardise the key concepts associated with disaster risk and resilience, and contextualise them to the domain of infrastructure. In case 7, Professors Susan Michie, Robert West, and Janna Hastings of the Human Behaviour Change Project at University College London, will describe how their team developed a multi-disciplinary ontology to describe interventions and outcomes in healthcare, so that AI/ML tools could be used to extract evidence-based insights from a wide and diverse landscape of studies.

Case 7: Developing a Lexicon to bring consistency to stakeholder practices in Disaster Resilient Infrastructure
Before the case study session, and so that we can get into deeper discussion on the case during the session, please review the case outline attached here, review the short video introduction below, and come prepared with questions you would like to discuss. The Lexicon itself can be seen at https://lexicon.cdri.world/
Mona Chabra Anand
Dr Mona Chabra Anand currently serves as the Technical Lead for Resilient Recovery at the Asia Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) in Bangkok. Earlier she served as the Director for Research and Knowledge Management at the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure. Through these and other engagements with national governments, UN bodies and civil society, Mona has leveraged research and knowledge based initiatives to inform policy decisions mainly within South Asia. After her first degree in architecture, Mona gained an MSc in Environmentally Sustainable Development from University College London, and a PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, with a focus on disaster resilience. Mona combines intellectual rigor with her rich experience and a strong team-based approach, which she uses to conceptualize and navigate complex challenges and develop innovative approaches. Mona is now based in Bangkok, Thailand. |
Case 8: Developing an ontology to serve automated analysis of cross disciplinary literature for the Human Behaviour Change Project
Before the case study session, and so that we can get into deeper discussion on the case during the session, please review the case outline attached here, review the short video introduction below, and come prepared with questions you would like to discuss. You will find supporting slides here and you can review the Ontology at https://www.bciontology.org/
Professor Susan Michie
Susan Michie, FMedSci, FAcSS, FBA is Professor of Health Psychology and Director of the Centre for Behaviour Change at University College London, UK. Professor Michie’s research focuses on human behaviour change in relation to health and the environment: how to understand it theoretically and apply theory and evidence to intervention and policy development, evaluation and implementation. Her research, collaborating with disciplines such as information science, environmental science, computer science and medicine, covers population, organisational and individual level interventions. Examples include the Human Behaviour-Change Project and Complex Systems for Sustainability and Health. She is an investigator on 15 research projects and has published >550 journal articles and several books, including the Behaviour Change Wheel: A Guide to Designing Interventions.
