In a world where many of our digital spaces are becoming more closed than ever, open data is a concept that is rapidly on the rise.
In this talk we’ll explore what open data is (and what it isn’t), why we should care about it, and look at how you can introduce it into your projects with regards to practical publication and consumption. We’ll specifically consider open data within the context of front-end development, including discussing some useful tools and reference points.
Open data isn’t just dry and technical - it gives us great scope to be creative, and throughout this talk we’ll go through some of the amazing things that it has been used for globally, in the hope that it will inspire you to create something yourself.

Empowering a healthier future: through the intersection of people, technology and science with a panel of bio-informatists and data experts. Brisbane Australia 27-Feb 2018
Software engineering specifically is about designing, writing, testing, implementing and maintaining software. In 2017 and beyond, it is about much more. Software doesn’t affect any one group of people; rather, software plays a massive role in our lives from the moment we wake up, travel to work, school or wherever we spend significant time during our lives. This talk delivered in November 2017 to high school students in Australia, aims to introduce teenagers to the wide range of opportunities in software engineering and information technology-related majors at university and careers upon graduation. #STEM #sofwareengineering #robotics #AI #GirlsCanCode
Presented by serial tech entrepreneur Bernadette Hyland to an audience of tech and design managers on building an inclusive, collaborative workplace. Bernadette Hyland began her career in Silicon Valley when 37% of computer science graduates were women. During the next two decades, the number of female engineers dropped to a low of 12% despite more women in the workplace. What happened? This talk highlights several remarkable female programming pioneers from the U.S. and Australia. This talk aims to engage the audience in a discussion on the value of diverse collaborations, the role of women and how we may be self-reflective to improve participation and collaboration in the workplace, and reduce discrimination and harassment.
A talk delivered by software engineer and serial tech founder, Ms. Bernadette Hyland to year 9-12 students in Brisbane Australia. The information session was for girls to highlight software engineering and what students can do now to prepare for a productive and satisfying career that leverages science, technology, engineering and math.
Talk delivered at YOW! Developer Conferences in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney Australia on 1-9 December 2016.
Abstract: Governments collect a lot of data. Data on air quality, toxic chemicals, laws and regulations, public health, and the census are intended to be widely distributed. Some data is not for public consumption. This talk focuses on open government data — the information that is meant to be made available for benefit of policy makers, researchers, scientists, industry, community organisers, journalists and members of civil society.
We’ll cover the evolution of Linked Data, which is now being used by Google, Apple, IBM Watson, federal governments worldwide, non-profits including CSIRO and OpenPHACTS, and thousands of others worldwide.
Next we’ll delve into the evolution of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Open Data service that we implemented using Linked Data and an Open Source Data Platform. Highlights include how we connected to hundreds of billions of open data facts in the world’s largest, open chemical molecules database PubChem and DBpedia.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Data scientists, software engineers, data analysts, DBAs, technical leaders and anyone interested in utilising linked data and open government data.
3 Round Stones Briefing to U.S. EPA's Chief Data Scientist on Open DataBernadette Hyland-Wood
The following is technical brief to U.S. EPA's Chief Data Scientist on open data information architecture, the use of Linked Data and the EPA Linked Data Management Service. The briefing was held in February 2016 and was educational in nature.
The following brief details the use of linked data to connect various high quality data sets produced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Linked data is an open standards way to publish and consume data. Using a linked data approach and the REST API, developers, scientists, and the public can more easily find, access and re-use authoritative data published by the EPA.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
