Module 10: An overview of the 'Ontology-Based Modelling System' (OBMS)

Get trained to use the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO)

We are building an online training course on the use of the BCIO to supplement the guidance and information provided on this website. Each module consists of a video, a document with accompanying resources, and a short self-test quiz.

Module 1: What are ontologies and why are they useful?

Module 2: How can ontologies be used in behavioural science?

Module 3: What is the Behaviour Change Intervention Ontology (BCIO)

Module 4: What are the key components of the BCIO?

Module 5: What are the BCIO Tools?

Module 6: Behaviour change interventions and their contexts within the BCIO

Module 7: How to describe behaviour change interventions and their contexts using the BCIO

Module 8: How to use the BCIO to annotate study reports in evidence synthesis

Module 9: Using the BCIO to describe outcome behaviours

Module 10: An overview of the 'Ontology-Based Modelling System' (OBMS)

Module 10 aims to provide an overview of the 'Ontology-Based Modelling System' (OBMS) that specifies theories using a computational ontology and shows how the BCIO, namely the component ontologies of Mechanisms of Action and Behaviour Change Technique, can be used to refine/improve, develop, compare, and test theories of behaviour change.
