The document provides logistics for a webinar on data curation profiles and the DMPTool. It includes instructions for calling into the audio, asking questions in the chat, and finding recordings and slides. The webinar will discuss the history of data curation profiles, comparing them to data management plans, and a case study of using data curation profiles. Data curation profiles involve interviewing researchers about their data practices and needs in order to understand how to support them, while data management plans focus on requirements for funding. Both tools can help librarians engage with researchers, though data curation profiles provide a more in-depth understanding of researchers' full data lifecycles.
The most common conceptual words in the document description after Cloud and Europeana are Project, Infrastructure, Aggregators, Digital, and Cultural. The document discusses Europeana Cloud and describes key concepts related to digital cultural heritage projects including infrastructure, aggregators, digital content, and cultural research work and tools.
Europeana and its partners have set out to build the open trusted source for European cultural heritage content. Due to the enormous efforts by partners, we now have close to 30 million objects in the Europeana repository, a fantastic achievement. The central question in this session will be how we can improve the quality of our offering. We have already established that we need to provide more direct access to content. But what does that mean in practical terms? Direct links to the digital object on a provider's website? Hosting the digital content on Europeana itself? And what does that mean for Europeana's business model? Related questions are: how do we motivate our partners to share their very best material? What should the aggregation infrastructure look like in 2020? And should it be cloud-based? What role should user-generated content play?

Progress reports are due quarterly from all consortium members and must provide a summary of activities, results, deviations, and corrective actions. Financial reports require tracking eligible personnel, subcontracting, and other direct costs. Reimbursement is 80% of eligible expenses. Non-eligible costs include VAT, overhead, and costs already reimbursed by other projects.
Europeana update, Aggregation, Collections and Project Shift - Strategies and...Europeana
Annette Friberg presented an update on Europeana including its strategy, partner network, and aggregation models. Europeana's strategy focuses on developing its partner network through task forces and a register. Content is aggregated through national and domain aggregators as well as projects. Over 26 million objects are represented in Europeana from various countries and providers, with the top 15 providers representing over 80% of the total content.
Results of aggregator needs europeana cloudEuropeana
Aggregators in the Europeana ecosystem face challenges with metadata mapping, ingestion tools, and curation of large datasets. They expressed a need for more reliable and usable tools to map metadata without technical expertise. Aggregators also want improved mechanisms for identifiers and authority files, as well as tools for enrichment. This information is being used to inform the development of the Europeana Cloud service to help address these issues.
This document discusses the Europeana Collections 1914-1918 project, which aims to digitize over 425,000 items from World War I and make them available through Europeana.eu. The project involves 12 partners from 8 European countries digitizing books, periodicals, letters, maps and other materials focused on everyday life during WWI. To improve discovery of items across collections, the project developed a minimum classification system based on Library of Congress subject headings and object types to index items. The project will also create a thematic portal, hold conferences and exhibitions, and develop educational resources to unlock these digital collections and engage diverse audiences with World War I history.

It then describes how Europeana launched an experimental pilot in 2012 releasing over 2.4 million open cultural objects and later 20 million objects under Creative Commons licenses. The document explores where value is created from open cultural data, including through code reuse, partnerships, and infrastructure. It provides case studies on tools developed with Wikimedia, app competitions, and Europeana projects. It concludes by discussing future opportunities around growing open datasets and viable niche applications in tourism, education, and other markets.
Europeana, the Commons and CC0 - Copenhagen, Dec 2012Europeana
Europeana aims to make digital cultural heritage openly accessible to foster knowledge exchange and cultural understanding in Europe. It aggregates over 24 million objects from 2,200 content providers through 142 aggregators. While it distributes content through various platforms, Europeana sees issues with its current "linear" model and governance structure. It proposes rethinking itself as a "commons" through principles of access, mutuality, engagement, and attribution. Three pilot projects are planned for an infrastructure commons, research commons, and cultural tourism commons to test different approaches and find sustainable solutions.
Europeana Cloud - Ingestion and Aggregation WorkshopEuropeana
This document discusses ingesting and aggregating content for Europeana Cloud. It describes The European Library's role as an aggregator, the ingestion workflow including a content questionnaire, using SugarCRM for management, validating datasets in an acceptance portal, indexing datasets in the live portal and delivery to Europeana. It also discusses the Europeana Data Model and continuing work on full-text extraction and indexing. The goal is to provide Europeana with rich metadata, content, full-text, and authority files.
This document outlines Work Package 1 (WP1) of a project related to Europeana Cloud. WP1 has several objectives: 1) Identify humanities and social sciences research communities to support, 2) Develop a research content strategy for Europeana based on usefulness for research, and 3) Improve understanding of tools/processes to inform Europeana Cloud development. It will identify key research communities, survey their digital practices/tool use, hold expert forums, and engage communities at conferences to establish user requirements. The end goal is a Europeana Research platform with tools to annotate, organize and share content according to research needs.

Virtual Research Networks: towards Research 2.0
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks – with its extensive collaborative possibilities – will be dictating how users will search for, manage and exchange information. The network – evolved by technology – is changing the user's behaviour and that will affect the future of information services. Many envision a possible leading role for libraries in collaboration and community building services.
Users are not only heavily using new tools, but are also creating and shaping their own preferred tools.
Today's students are incorporating Web 2.0 skills in daily life, in their social and learning environments.
Tomorrow's research staff will expect to be able to use their preferred tools and resources within their work environment.
Today's ánd tomorrow's libraries should support students and staff in the learning and research process by integrating library services and resources into their environments.

User-Centred Design to Support Exploration and Path Creation in Cultural Her...pathsproject
This document describes research on developing a prototype system to enhance user interaction with cultural heritage collections through a pathway metaphor. It involved gathering user requirements through surveys and interviews. Key findings include:
1) Existing online paths tend to be linear and static, limiting exploration, though users preferred more flexible, theme-based paths that allowed branching.
2) Interviews found the path metaphor could represent search histories, journeys of discovery, linked metadata, guides into collections, routes through collections, and more.
3) An interaction model was developed involving consuming, collecting, creating and communicating about paths to support exploration, learning and engagement.
4) The prototype aims to integrate path creation, use and sharing to better support

Europeana meeting under Finland’s Presidency of the Council of the EU - Day 2...Europeana
Here are a few approaches to address the context demand challenge for machine translation of cultural heritage content:
- Leverage knowledge graphs and ontologies to disambiguate terms based on conceptual relationships
- Train domain-specific models on large cultural heritage corpora to capture nuances of language use in different contexts
- Perform multi-task learning to optimize models for both translation accuracy and conceptual mapping between languages
- Allow users to provide feedback to iteratively improve disambiguation of ambiguous terms over time
- Develop specialized interfaces that surface contextual clues from objects to help machine translation
The goal is to mimic how humans understand intended meaning based on surrounding context clues. Combining linguistic and conceptual techniques can help machines do the same.
Europeana meeting under Finland’s Presidency of the Council of the EU - Day 1...Europeana
This document discusses multilingualism in digital cultural heritage. It begins by outlining some of the challenges of multilingual access, including mismatches between user queries and content languages, heterogeneity in queries, and issues with translating metadata. It then discusses some options for bridging the language gap, such as translating queries, content, and metadata; enriching metadata; and adapting systems to better support multilingual exploration. While progress has been made, areas that still need work include improving machine translation for small languages and specialized domains, evaluating solutions, and developing multilingual entity graphs to aid exploration.

The document discusses the Culturalia.ro platform, a digital library and national shared catalog in Romania that functions similarly to Europeana. It notes that the platform allows both institutions and the general public to contribute content, but that some data requires access controls due to varying levels of competence and permissions. The access controls establish a hierarchy of authorities and reading/writing permission levels from 0-9 to manage who can view or edit which resources. Intellectual responsibility is also important, as the platform allows public comments on statements while maintaining provenance of ingested legacy and imported metadata.
The Europeana meeting under the Romanian Presidency, Exposing Online the Euro...Europeana
This document discusses several topics related to AI and digital culture including metadata enrichment, machine learning, deep neural networks, supervised learning, datasets, crowd and machine intelligence, and semantic enrichment. Metadata can be enriched through manual and automatic processes including machine learning. Machine learning algorithms use sample training data to make predictions while deep neural networks and supervised learning use labeled input-output datasets. Large annotated datasets are needed to train machine learning models and crowdsourcing can be used to obtain this data. Crowd and machine intelligence can cooperate by using crowdsourced labels to train models and models to validate labels. Semantic enrichment involves mapping metadata to controlled vocabularies using tools like those developed by EKT to normalize values.

The Finnish National Gallery has adopted an open access policy to share digital images of its collections online through its own website and Europeana. It began by sharing archival materials in 2012 under Creative Commons licenses. In 2018, it launched sharing over 12,000 high-resolution images from its art collections with a CC0 license on both its website and Europeana. This was the result of collaboration between the Gallery and Europeana to improve access to the collections online. The open access policy aims to make the collections, which belong to the Finnish people, more accessible to wider audiences and to support education, research, and creative reuse. It has been positively received as responding to audience needs and expectations.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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.

18. Researchers and Content
What kinds of research communities in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
communities does your content serve?
What kinds of communities within the Humanities and the Social Sciences would we
like to serve within eCloud?
Do different subjects approach the discovery and use of content differently?
Does behaviour change for different types of content / format? (E.g. journals,
images, audio/visual, manuscripts, historical records etc)
Is multidisciplinarity a drawback in interacting with content and if so, in what ways?
19. Discovery and Access of Content
How do users discover content appropriate to their research? What are they key
problems they face at this stage?
What about catalogue information which is not available in digital form?
What about rights restrictions permitting access?
What are the finding aids provided and how do users interact with them?
Do different kinds of users interact differently with different kinds of finding aids?
What are the main problems encountered by users regarding access and privacy?
What are your views on user generated content?
What are the key problems with the terminology researchers use to access content?
20. Use of Content
What do researchers usually do once they have gained access to the content they need?
How do they annotate and organize their material? What could be done to facilitate this
process fot them?
What new tools do you think could assist researchers most in navigating themselves
within your collections and making the most of them?
Sharing of Content
How do researchers share, redistribute and disseminate content? What are the main
pitfalls in this?
What are your views on crowd sourcing and social media tools?
Curation of Content
In what ways can researchers enrich, through annotation and scholarly critical editions,
content?
21. By the end of the project what are the 5 key
barriers to using content for Humanities and
Social Sciences research that we should
overcome?
RCAB will be validating deliverables as appropriate
Are we aiming at the communities that use and develop high sophisticated digital tools for digital humanity research? The first group is more like what we do in EHRI (focusing on metadata) and the second might be more like Clarin (search tools related to document content). Those groups might not be mutually exclusive, but they may have different requirements. F.i. the first group could be happy with any form of digital metadata even only at collection level, and might also be interested in traveling to a local reading room to have a look at one item that could be of his interest. The second group might be interested in larger datasets and wants to have digital metadata in combination with the documents itself.
Think about the ways in which a researcher might want to use digital content but is currently inhibited from doing so because of – technical limitations, links not working, unclear licensing, paywalls, search engines not being efficient enough, content being spread around different places, content being accessible or not being downloadable, or simply the lack of digitised material.
