Smuts, Hanlie; Winter, Robert; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba; Van der Merwe, Alta (Springer, 2022-05)The Design Science Research (DSR) paradigm is highly relevant to the Information Systems (IS) discipline because DSR aims to improve the state of practice and contribute design knowledge through the systematic construction ...
-
Coetzer, Willem; Moodley, Deshendran; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba (Public Library of Science, 2016-11-16)Observations of individual organisms (data) can be combined with expert ecological knowledge of species, especially causal knowledge, to model and extract from flower–visiting data useful information about behavioral ...

Harmse, Henriette; Britz, Katarina; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba (Springer, 2018-11)A challenge in ontology engineering is the mismatch in expertise between the ontology engineer and domain expert, which often leads to important constraints not being specified. Domain experts often only focus on specifying ...
-
Van der Merwe, Alta; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba; Smuts, Hanlie (Springer, 2020)Information Systems (IS) as a discipline is still young and is continuously involved in building its own research knowledge base. Design Science Research (DSR) in IS is a research strategy for design that has emerged in ...

Harmse, Henriette; Britz, Katarina; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba (IOS Press, 2018)The W3C standardized Semantic Web languages enable users to capture data without a schema in a manner which is intuitive to them. The challenge is that, for the data to be useful, it should be possible to query the data ...
-
Thomas, Anitta; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba; Van der Merwe, Alta (Springer, 2016-07)The Web Ontology Language OWL is a prominent ontology language for specifying ontologies. Although OWL ontologies are well-used for representing and reasoning about knowledge in various domains, they are sparsely studied ...

Van der Merwe, Alta; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba; Smuts, Hanlie (Springer, 2017-11)Design science research (DSR) is well-known in different domains, including information systems (IS), for the construction of artefacts. One of the most challenging aspects of IS postgraduate studies (with DSR) is determining ...

Naidoo, Rennie; Van der Merwe, Alta; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba; Hevner, Alan (Computer Society of South Africa, 2015-07)Compared to positivist survey and interpretive case study research, design science research (DSR) is a relatively novel and unfamiliar research paradigm within the computing eld in South Africa. In light of recent interest ...
-
Trishan, Marimuthu; Van der Merwe, Alta; Gerber, Aurona Jacoba (Springer, 2022)Many organisations turn to enterprise architecture (EA) to assist with the alignment of business and information technology.
