Livieris, Ioannis E.; Mikropoulos, Tassos A.; Pintelas, Panagiotis – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2016
Educational data mining is an emerging research field concerned with developing methods for exploring the unique types of data that come from educational context. These data allow the educational stakeholders to discover new, interesting and valuable knowledge about students. In this paper, we present a new user-friendly decision support tool for…

Ivan, Ion; Ciurea, Cristian; Pavel, Sorin – Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods, 2010
The collaborative system with finite number of states is defined. A very large database is structured. Operations on large databases are identified. Repetitive procedures for collaborative systems operations are derived. The efficiency of such procedures is analyzed. (Contains 6 tables, 5 footnotes and 3 figures.)

Waitelonis, Jorg; Ludwig, Nadine; Knuth, Magnus; Sack, Harald – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2011
Purpose: Linking Open Data (LOD) provides a vast amount of well structured semantic information, but many inconsistencies may occur, especially if the data are generated with the help of automated methods. Data cleansing approaches enable detection of inconsistencies and overhauling of affected data sets, but they are difficult to apply…

Wolfram, Dietmar – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Examines how informetric characteristics of information retrieval (IR) system databases can be used to help system designers decide what type of file structures would provide the best performance. The development of appropriate models describing database contents is highlighted in this first part of a two-part study. (30 references) (LRW)

Brase, Jan; Painter, Mark – Educational Technology & Society, 2004
Learning Objects Metadata (LOM) aims at describing educational resources in order to allow better reusability and retrieval. In this article we show how additional inference rules allows us to derive additional metadata from existing ones. Additionally, using these rules as integrity constraints helps us to define the constraints on LOM elements,…

Wolfram, Dietmar – Information Processing and Management, 1992
This second report on a two-part study on the application of informetrics to information retrieval (IR) system design used models of database contents in a factorial simulation study at the University of Western Ontario. The study explored whether different file structures were better suited for different informetric environments. (32 references)…
