The importance of employees as knowledge workers acting in the correct roles is not a new phenomenon, but as work itself becomes less tangible, concerns with understanding, describing, and managing roles becomes an increasingly complex, challenging, and important subject. In the knowledge economy, where the employees are in the centre of the industrial revolution and digitalization, there is now a greater need to enable meaningful and well-described roles that set out welldefined tasks that each actor will perform within the enterprise. Also within the extended enterprise, which is the collaboration with its partners, service suppliers, the wholesalers, retailers etc. and the attendant complexity, the need for well-described roles is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it is of critical importance for our frameworks, methods, approaches and practices to answer the need for roles. Consequently, this paper focuses on the missing concepts exemplifying the need for a role ontology with a role taxonomy, clear defined objects, descriptions, class types, stereotypes and subtypes as well as semantic role relationships. It does so by firstly defining the requirements in terms of the scope, objective as well as which challenges, issues and problems should the role ontology as an application ontology address. Secondly, we describe the integration and relationship between the role ontology with domain, core and foundational ontologies. Followed by the description of the design components of the role ontology, this includes its objects, class types, descriptors, shapes i.e. notations, attributes, and relations. We than conclude by discussing lessons learned by applying and thereby testing the ontology in practice.

This case story describes how the Business Ontology can be used to structure organizational artefacts. Northern Health was chosen for this case story because of the complexity and nature of their industry. Using a Business Ontology for structuring artefacts exemplifies the power of integrated and standardized artefacts in facilitating alignment, transformation and the management of a complex project portfolio involving multiple programs and projects through a structured way of thinking, way of working and way of modelling. This case story will discuss what artefacts are, what they consist of, their purpose, and how the Global University Alliance's Business Ontology was used effectively to develop a structured way of thinking, working and modelling. Furthermore, this paper presents the artefacts that provided the foundation for developing Northern Health-specific reference content and explains how they could be reused by various projects within the organization. It also includes the lessons learned on where these artefacts could be applied and the benefits of applying them.

Innovating one's organizations alongside the digital transformation that the industry 4.0 and with it the internet of things enables, is a complex undertaking. This case story covers the passage and stages that the Dutch railway transportation industry went through in applying standards from bodies like ISO, OMG and LEADing Practice to developing smart applications and solutions to fit customer needs. They used these the standards together with the Business Ontology, specific the role oriented modelling concepts and managed it all in the process and application lifecycle. The case story covers the aspects of smart application development with smart cards. Like the internet has revolutionised the world, smart cards have revolutionised the traveler's world. Smart cards are secure portable storage devices enabling millions of users around the world for advanced and easy transport flow. This case story elaborates on the Dutch Railway process of cutting edge smart application development within advanced customer process handling through the role oriented processes and services. It elaborates on the Trans Link Systems, which was established by the various Dutch public transport companies to implement a single payment system for public transport, that together with the smart card system OV-chipkaart is made available to the people using public transport in the Netherlands. The case story was chosen not only for their leading practices applied in developing the Railway customer system of the future, but specific they way they did it. Their advanced role oriented processes and services modelling and role oriented architecture thinking in developing cutting edge smart applications. Interlinking the role oriented process lifecycle with the application lifecycle to support the 5 large transport organizations business model, service model, revenue model as well as the performance model.

There is a high demand for skilled cybersecurity professionals, however, entry-level employees and college graduates often lack the hands-on and real-world experience they need to be successful in the cybersecurity industry. This high demand has led educators to pursue innovative and smart application technologies as a way for students to gain hands-on skills and to practice those skills in a safe and fun environment. Cybergames are now being used by educational institutions and in private and public industry sectors. One popular game in the cybersecurity space is called Capture the Flag (CTF). This study investigates Facebook's CTF platform as a cost-effective learning and assessment tool for undergraduate and graduate cybersecurity adult students for an online university.

The pragmatic context of information is a fundamental characteristic that is not often formally addressed in data integration. This paper discusses the challenges of modeling the multiple contexts at play in data integration. A simple data integration context modeling framework is introduced that we believe addresses important issues of representing a pragmatic context. It allows for multiple data sources from similar domains to be brought together without having to designate one as the “true” semantics. An example is provided showing how this approach supports integration efforts. Understanding and Modeling Context in Data Integration

Concept lattices have been widely used for various purposes in many different applications since the 1980s. Recent applications of Formal Concept Analysis include extensions of traditional FCA applications such as data and text mining, machine learning and knowledge management. Progress has also recently been made in software engineering, Semantic Web and databases. New applications have also emerged in the fields of healthcare, ecology, biology, agronomy, business and social networks. This article presents example of successful applications of FCA for Social Networks Analysis. We show the benefit of FCA solutions, as well as their combination with semantics and topology-based approaches. We conclude by presenting FCA-based visualization solutions and open challenges for FCA in the context of large and dynamic data.

People using computer systems are required to work with the concepts implemented by system developers. If there is a poor fit between system concepts and users' pre-existing conceptualisation of domain and task, this places a high workload on the user as they translate between their own conceptualisation and that imposed by the system. The focus of this paper is on how to identify users' conceptualisations of a domain-ideally, prior to system implementation. For this, it is necessary to gather verbal data from people that allows them to articulate their conceptual models in ways that are not overly constrained by existing devices but allows them to articulate taken-for-granted knowledge. Possible study types include semi-structured interviews, contextual inquiry interviews and think-aloud protocols. The authors discuss how to design a study, covering choosing between different kinds of study, detailed planning of questions and tasks, data gathering, and preliminary data analysis.
