Dr. Megan Katsumi presents “Understanding Transportation Data with Ontologies”
February 1, 2021 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Transportation systems – and the planning decisions that mold these systems – are important factors that influence both food and health supply chains.
The ability to make good decisions about the design and policies underlying these systems requires a significant amount of data. This data is drawn from a wide range of sources and presents significant challenges for processing and integration.
In this talk, Dr. Katsumi explores these challenges and discusses the use of ontologies as part of a solution.
Dr. Megan Katsumi is a Research Associate at the University of Toronto’s Enterprise Integration Laboratory. She completed her PhD at the University of Toronto’s Semantic Technologies Laboratory, where her research focused on foundations for ontology development. Megan recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship with the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI) where she contributed to the development of a suite of ontologies for transportation planning to support the iCity-ORF project. Her current research activities are focused on the use of ontologies in asset management and the development of ontology-based standards.
This online seminar is presented by the University of Toronto School of Cities in their seminar series Building Resilience in Food and Health Supply Chains.
