Title:Effect of Landscape Changes on the Water Quality of Murchison BayPublication TypeJournal ArticleYear of Publication2020Authors:Balaji Bhaskar Maruthi Sridhar, Anthony GiduduKeywords:Urban Watershed; Lake Victoria; Wetlands; Remote Sensing; Landsat and GeographicInformation Systems (GIS)Abstract:The water quality in Murchison Bay of Lake Victoria, the Africa’s largest fresh water lake, ison decline due to rapid urban sprawl, decrease in vegetative surface and increase in impervioussurface of the drainage area resulting in eutrophication of the lake....Read More

Title:Towards a New Height Datum for UgandaPublication TypeJournal ArticleYear of Publication2020Authors:Ronald Ssengendo, Anthony GiduduKeywords:JournalSouth African Journal of GeomaticsAbstract:A new height datum for Uganda is computed using the corrective surface principle. It is based on a combination of the Uganda Gravimetric Quasigeoid model (UGQ) 2014 and GNSS/levelling. UGQ2014 was derived from the Uganda Gravimetric Geoid model (UGG) 2014, which was computed from sparse terrestrial gravity data from the International Gravimetric Bureau,...Read More

Title:A Pattern Driven Approach to Knowledge Representation in the Disaster DomainPublication TypeJournal ArticleYear of Publication2020Authors:Allan Mazimwe, Imed Hammouda, Anthony Gidudu, Bernard Barasa Keywords:ConfereneSpringer LinkAbstract: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 to associated commitments and complex alignments within ontologies. Therefore, there is a need to utilize a bottom-up approach that...Read More

itle:Ontology Design Patterns for Representing Knowledge in the Disaster Risk DomainPublication TypeConference PaperYear of Publication2019Authors:Allan Mazimwe, Imed Hammouda, Anthony GiduduKeywords: Publisher2019 IEEE 28th International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE)Abstract:The success of disaster risk management efforts depends on the ability of multiple stakeholders to share disaster-related information. Semantic integration of such heterogeneous information requires ontology building. The top-down approach of ontology building has several disadvantages to knowledge...Read More
