Using Named Entity Recognition technologies contained in IBM Watson products, we are building the ontology of concepts contained in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews: inclusion criteria, participants, interventions, comparisons, and outcomes (PICO), risk of bias assessments, conclusions, and dates. In the future, medical researchers and practitioners will be able to navigate the resulting network using simple queries and natural language queries and access the resulting information using tablets or similar convenient systems of engagement.
PARADIGMA presented a first prototype of the ontology which has been automatically extracted from the Cochrane corpus, shared her experiences in the process of developing the ontology, and demonstrated its use in the context of search and discovery.

Trade Corridors and Multimodal Transport Corridors in EuropeParadigma Consulting
Trans European Networks (TEN-T) illustrate the concept of trade corridors. The Baltic-Adriatic Corridor in particular which extends to the Nordic countries as well as to the Eastern Mediterranean exemplifies the challenges and promises of such networks.
The aim of this short report is to show the usage and benefits of the ebXML architecture and
the UN/CEFACT Modelling Methodology with a real-world example: the empties supply chain.
Within GILDANET this example can be used to demonstrate an electronic document
exchange application, explain (real) interoperability and the reusability of its components. The
implementation of this application can be used to build an ebXML framework (architecture),
demonstrate the functionality, and build reusable blocks that help other customers to create
service oriented applications in the logistic sector.
Innovative Approaches for the collection of road transport statisticsParadigma Consulting
By extracting data from Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Transport Management (TM) systems, particularly larger companies can easily generate data for official reporting obligation and directly transfer it to the National Statistical Institution (NSI).

Port authorities worldwide are facing the challenge to morph from a landlord role, renting out public space to maritime logistics companies to a business developer role. In that function port authorities must
• include land based transport to/from the port into consideration;
• attract cargo/shippers and shipping lines to use their port facilities to justify investments;
• increase the reliability and cost-effectiveness of their service;
... in other words, become more competitive.
Many ports around the world are heeding the call. Supporting their efforts to become more competitive, they require empirical information which is current, comprehensive and actionable and can be used to compare a ports performance with those of its peers/competitors.
Maritime transport data, in combination with trade and road transportation data, presented in a self service fashion using SuperVIEW can be used by port authorities for strategic planning and analysis to
• provide a comprehensive picture of the development of transport in the economic zone;
• support the development of strategic scenarios for port communities;
• provide port authorities with strategic management capabilities to measure their performance and to analyze trends.
Benefits of such a service that can be provided by NSO's or other agencies include:
• increase the usefulness of statistics through meaningful combinations of surveys and trade data
• enhance the use of collected data by putting it in the regional and international context
• provide guided (purposefully constrained) analytics for "casual user

Statistics Austria’s deployment of self service reports
National road accident statistics have been collected and compiled in Austria since 1961. Police are documenting each accident on public roads involving casualties using paper forms.
As of Jan 2012, data describing the details of accidents will be collected electronically by the police authorities. Pre-validated data is transmitted daily to Statistics Austria using web –services. Monthly updates are published traditionally using reports as well as using SuperWEB, to allow controlled, self service access of defined users.
As part of the new collection system, new attributes and new values sets will be collected, such as details regarding the drivers license, vehicle types, description of the location ...
PARADIGMA has been commissioned by Statistics Austria to implement an automated process, integrating the daily deliveries of accident records from the Ministry of Interior, applying validation rules, compiling the cleansed authentic data and feeding the micro data in a SuperSTAR database.
In cooperation with user groups and road safety experts, a set of sample reports have been developed to enhance the accessibility of the statistics.
Benefits of the new process:
lower cost of production (data capture)
enhanced quality of the collected statistics through validity checks close to the source and seamless production process
significant reduction of efforts to produce ad hoc analyses and reports, which are more numerous in road statistics than elsewhere
partial shift of analyses workload from the NSO's statisticians to the ultimate users of the data
better prevention of road accidents through the collection of additional factors

Untersuchungsbeauftragte müssen eine
Unmenge an Dokumenten lesen und daraus
Zusammenhänge ableiten
Untersuchungsbehörden generieren
Arbeitshypothesen und versuchen, diese
aufgrund der Beweislage zu belegen

4. Herausforderungen
Page 4
Es bedarf adäquater IT Verfahren um heterogene
Quellen einer gemeinsamen Analyse zuzuführen
Klassische Suche („Google“) ist nicht allein
hinreichend. Texterschließungsmöglichkeiten
sind („Discovery“) notwendig
Inhalte müssen in den Textkorpora erkannt und
extrahiert werden
Vertraulichkeit der einzelnen Dokumente muss
gewährleistet bleiben
5. Proof of Concept mit IBM Watson Foundation
Ist eine effiziente, qualitativ anspruchsvolle
Erschließung großer Textkörper möglich ?
Wie hoch ist der Entwicklungsaufwand für semantische
Modelle ?
Können bestehende Modelle für neue Sachverhalte
zeitnah erweitert werden?

Einzelmodelle sind rasch entwickelt; Wiederverwendbarkeit setzt
Normen voraus
Der gesamte Entwicklungs- und Erschließungsprozess war in 4 Wochen
machbar
Iterative Vorgehensweise bei der Entwicklung von AQL Modellen
„Annotatoren“ bewährt
Klare Vorteile gegenüber linguistischen und statistischen Verfahren
Lösung bei der Vorbereitung von Ausschusssitzungen einsetzbar
Bestätigung, Präzisierung von erkannten Beziehungen verlangen
Fragen zu nicht direkt aus dem Graphen erkennbaren aber vermuteten
Beziehungen stellen
Einzelmodelle sind rasch entwickelt; Wiederverwendbarkeit setzt
Disziplin und Normen voraus (Nomenklatur, Dokumentation, … )
Verfügbarkeit und Lesbarkeit der Unterlagen ist Voraussetzung

21. Hypo-U-Ausschuss - VfGH um rasche Klärung bemüht
Page 21
veröffentlicht am 6. 5. 2015 von APA
Der Verfassungsgerichtshof (VfGH) will in der Frage der
geschwärzten Akten für den Hypo-Untersuchungsausschuss rasch
entscheiden. Laut Auskunft eines Sprechers gegenüber der APA am
Mittwoch ist das Höchstgericht bestrebt, die angeregte Frist von vier
Wochen einzuhalten. Im Laufe des Tages erwartet der VfGH den
formalen Antrag des Finanzministeriums mit allen Unterlagen.
Diese werden dann gesichtet. Streng genommen kann man dem
VfGH nicht vorschreiben, wie lang er sich für eine Entscheidung Zeit
lassen darf, laut Gesetz soll er aber "tunlichst" innerhalb von vier
Wochen zu einem Entschluss kommen. Da das Gericht diese Frist
auch einhalten will, ist damit zu rechnen, dass der Fall nicht im
Rahmen der Juni-Session, sondern bei einer außertourlich
einberufenen Session behandelt wird.
