XKOS for classification levels Sample Clauses

XKOS for classification levels. The XKOS data vocabulary is an extension of SKOS, specifically geared towards meeting the needs of the statistical community for knowledge organization systems.46 The specific requirements of this community include increased specificity for both hierarchies (distinguishing partonymy from hyponymy) and associations (distinguishing causal, sequential, and temporal relations). Additionally, the statistical community recognises levels in their hierarchical structures. The XKOS specification states that “levels are used as a means to identify concepts within a classification [that are] used to classify instances at the same specificity” — similar to the purpose of category types in historical language thesauri.47 Although the purpose of the classification levels in XKOS matches that of category types in historical language thesauri, there is a difference between the two notions. This difference makes XKOS levels unfit for expressing category types. Levels in XKOS “correspond to all those concepts that are same distance from the top of the hierarchy”.48 All top categories belong to the first level, all categories directly subordinate belong to the second level, and so on. This approach is valuable for those thesauri in which categories at a given depth of the taxonomy all share the type of category. However, this condition does not always hold for historical language thesauri. As demonstrated in Chapter 1, TOE, HTE, and LSM, distinguish different category types. Some of their categories have subordinates of different category types. In other words, an equal depth in the tree for categories does not imply the same level in the hierarchy of category types. The three thesauri use these types in a manner more flexible than XKOS is able to express: conceptual levels, which reflect the hierarchy of category types, rather than tree levels.

Such request will be made within ten (10) days after the receipt of notice from the Hospital of such new occupational classification and rate.

If the parties are unable to agree, the dispute concerning the new rate may be submitted to arbitration as provided in the Agreement within fifteen (15) days of such meeting. The decision of the Board of Arbitration (or arbitrator as the case may be) shall be based on the relationship established by comparison with the rates for other classifications in the bargaining unit having regard to the requirements of such classification. When the Hospital makes a substantial change in the job content of an existing classification which in reality causes such classification to become a new classification, the Hospital agrees to meet with the Union if requested to permit the Union to make representation with respect to the appropriate rate of pay.

The parties further agree that any change mutually agreed to or awarded as a result of arbitration shall be retroactive only to the date that the Union raised the issue with the Hospital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of compensable illness or injury covered by WSIB an employee is unable to carry out the regular functions of her position, the Hospital may, subject to its operational requirements, establish a special classification and salary in an endeavour to provide the employee with an opportunity of continued employment.
