Abstract

Sharing data from various systems such as sensor networks, time and motion study data, and text data is important. To process and manage the collected data, the authors have proposed a database framework called the COTO database. As described in this paper, the authors propose a COTO-ontology as the basis of the COTO database. The COTO-ontology was developed based on the data collected by DANCE, which is an evaluation tool of quality of care, from the real settings. It will be applied as a platform for the evaluation of robotic devices used for nursing care.
