Abstract:

Doing good Design Science Research (DSR) is an audacious venture. It is not a journey for those who value optimal and repeatable research results. DSR projects aspire to create innovative digital artifacts that solve real-world problems inbounded application domains by providing improvements to conditions of the impacted individuals, groups, and societies. Research results include both the designed artifacts and evidence of their impacts along with a fuller scientific understanding via design theories of why the artifacts provide enhancements(or, disruptions) to the relevant application contexts. However, even the most useful results are often eclipsed by rapid changes in the problem and solutionspaces. This presentation will survey key challenges of doing good DSR in Food Science. The challenges of complexity, creativity, confidence, control, contribution, and cumulative knowledge will be described, examined, and illustrated with recent research results. While formidable challenges exist, doing good DSR is fun and satisfying. You change the world!

Abstract:
Knowledge Graphs are currently being established as a major paradigm for data sharing, integration and reuse. We discuss the current state of the art, including a brief historic perspective. We also present recent and ongoing work on the design of reusable knowledge graphs, based on modular ontology modeling. Examples will be taken from the cooking recipes domain.
