The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the word semantic stands for the meaning of. The semantic of something is the meaning of something. The Semantic Web or Web 2.0 or Web3.0 is a “Web of data” that enables machines to understand the semantics or meaning. Of information on the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other. Enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users. The term was coined by Tim Beemers-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium. Which oversees the development of the proposal Semantic Web standards? He defines the Semantic Web as “a web of data that can be processed directly and
indirectly by machines.”
A semantic web is a relativity modern technology coined by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 2001. Web 2.0 is readable by humans. We have HTML 5 and CSS and it does a great job of allowing information to be read by humans. Where web 2.0 fails is supporting machine reading. This then brings up web 3.0. Being able to support data is great, but often what we are most interested in is not the data itself, but the relationships between and among data. Think about how hard it is currently to get all water features. Those features are often in different services and provided by different organizations. I want to quickly and easily get all water features nationally. This is where a semantic web would be very useful because one can store the relationships between data to give you all water features. This talk will show you some of the advantages of a semantic web and how it can be used to answer questions that one would struggle to answer without it.

CILIP Conference - x metadata evolution the final mile - Richard WallisCILIP
Bibliographic metadata forms have evolved over centuries, the last 50 years in machine readable formats. The library community appears to be evolving from records, towards describing real-world entities using an agreed form of linked data. Is that step a step far enough to satisfy the ever-present need to aid discovery? Discovery in the environment of the approaching twenty first century’s 3rd decade. Or do we need to include a move into the landscape of globally understood structured data and knowledge graphs? The millennial environment of answer engines, mobile/local search and voice assistants.

About the Webinar
The library and cultural institution communities have generally accepted the vision of moving to a Linked Data environment that will align and integrate their resources with those of the greater Semantic Web. But moving from vision to implementation is not easy or well-understood. A number of institutions have begun the needed infrastructure and tools development with pilot projects to provide structured data in support of discovery and navigation services for their collections and resources.
Join NISO for this webinar where speakers will highlight actual Linked Data projects within their institutions—from envisioning the model to implementation and lessons learned—and present their thoughts on how linked data benefits research, scholarly communications, and publishing.

The Impact of Linked Data in Digital Curation and Application to the Catalogu...Hong (Jenny) Jing
(Full version of the presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS9Svbmp-YY)
Information organization and systems in libraries are in a state of significant flux. In systems there is a shift to XML and RDF-based schemas and ontologies while resource description content standards have changed from AACR2 to RDA. A move from MARC to BIBFRAME and other linked data applications is on the horizon. Linked data and the semantic web have become buzzwords, but what is linked data and why it is important for librarians? How can we use it in digital curation? What can libraries do now to “prepare” for this change in their current practice?
In light of these questions, the panel presentation will discuss two projects. First, there will be coverage of a sample project using the Fedora-based open source framework, Islandora to demonstrate the concepts of connecting related data across the Web with URIs, HTTP and RDF. The second half of the presentation will describe how a consortia has taken a holistic approach to writing an RDA workflow to help front-line cataloguers develop a wider perspective when it comes to resource description (creating more structured, future compatible metadata). Up for discussion: the current state and future possibilities of library metadata with a focus on the implications of linked data.
Linked Data is an evolving set of techniques for publishing and consuming data on the Web. Learn how Linked Data can turn the Web into a distributed database and how you can participate. In this session, Bernadette Hyland takes the mystery out of Linked Data by summarizing seven steps to prepare your data sets as Linked Data and announce it so others will use it.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

By making the implicit information explicit
9. Linked Data
“Recommended best practice for exposing,
sharing, and connecting pieces of data,
information and knowledge on the Semantic
Web using URIs and RDF”
Bizer, Christian; Heath,Tom; Berners-Lee,Tim (2009). "Linked
Data—The Story So Far" (PDF). International Journal on
Semantic Web and Information Systems 5 (3): 1–22. doi:
10.4018/jswis.2009081901. ISSN 1552-6283.
10. Principles of Linked Data
1. Use URIs as ‘names’ for things.
2. Use http protocol for those URIs
3. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful
information.
4. Provide links to other URIs to encourage
discovery.
11. A few quick definitions
URI - Uniform Resource Indicator
Basic Identifier on the Web.
ASCII Based.
IRI - Internationalized Resource Identifier
New standard supports global languages
RDF - Resource Description Framework
Method of modeling information on the web.
