eDEM-Connect Ontology
The eDEM-CONNECT Ontology incorporates domain knowledge about the various types of agitated behaviour observed in people with dementia (PwD), as well as the dyadic relationship existing between PwD and their informal caregivers. Furthermore, it offers a structured framework for non-pharmacological interventions, enabling caregivers to effectively manage and mitigate the bidirectional effects of agitation in PwD. The ontology has been jointly developed by researchers in the BehavE and eDEM-Connect projects. Among others, it has been used as a codebook for named entity recognition tasks on informal dementia-related textual data, as well as a knowledge base for a situation-aware chatbot. In the context of the BehavE project, it has been used as a domain-specific knowledge base for generating domain models.
