(MDPI: Climate, 2019-02-26)Long-term trend analysis at local scale for rainfall and temperature is critical for detecting climate change patterns. This study analysed historical (1980–2009), near future (2010–2039), mid- (1940–2069) and end-century ... -
A pattern driven approach to knowledge representation in the disaster domain
Mazimwe, Allan; Hammouda, Imed; Gidudu, Anthony; Barasa, Bernard (Springer Link: SN Computer Science volume., 2020-10-22)Access to integrated disaster-related data through querying is still a problem due to associated semantic barriers. The disaster domain largely relies on the top–down approach of ontology development. This limits reuse due ... -
