This is the first version of the Presence Ontology. Presence Ontology aims to capture the psychosocial aspects of healthcare and disease prevention. We will make changes henceforth in the reorganization of the class/property hierarchies and incorporating other concepts.
This is one of the main classes in the Presence Ontology. We envision an interaction to be a physical "presence" meeting between a Physician and a Patient, or any other types of conversations. An interaction is composed of several sub-interactions, which 1) may be driven by a patient or a physician, 2) involves use of certain physical object or abstract object and 3) may be influenced by a myriad factors.
The Factor hierarchy represents concepts that play an external role in a sub-interaction between the Physician and the Patient. These concepts are modifiable, recordable, observable and may be quantifiable. These concepts include environmetal factors, communication factors, and other social factors. Factors hence differ from Emotions and Qualities (which can not be modifiable, recordable, observable and quantifiable)
Native Hawaiin or Other Pacific Islander
Number of pauses made by a role (either physician or patient) during an interaction
Number of minutes that are spent in silence during the interaction/encounter
This Factor only symbolizes whether or not a person is present in the encounter or the room.
This is an object property that associates few "Physical" and "Abstract" Objects to a sub-interaction between the Physician and a Patient.
This should include the total time of any sub-interaction in seconds.
