contextual information makes the retrieve and
filtering mechanisms more effective.
Future researches encompass: (i) the
incorporation of the classical case structure
(problem, solution and result) into the conceptual
framework and Case-Based Reasoning technique for
decision making support; (ii) the creation of a semi-
automatic Evidence-Oriented Information Extractor
(EOIE); and (iii) the development of a
computational tool for risk assessment.
