The document discusses the transition from documents to datasets to linked data in how governments make public sector information available. It describes how information has shifted from being locked in documents, to being available as datasets in various formats through data catalogs, to the emerging approach of linked open government data which will be interlinked and put in context. The document outlines European Commission actions to support this transition and increase access to public sector information through initiatives like the LOD2 and LATC projects and the SEMIC registry. It argues that linked data seems to cover business requirements and there is momentum growing around the approach.
This document summarizes funding opportunities for ICT projects in the Horizon 2020 framework program for 2014-2015. It outlines calls for big data, open data, and language technologies projects, including innovation actions to develop new solutions, research projects to advance technologies, and coordination actions. The goals are to help companies build innovative data products, address barriers to data reuse, and crack the language barrier in Europe to facilitate multilingual communication.
This document summarizes a study that analyzed 19 parliamentary information visualization (PIV) initiatives. It identified the most common types of parliamentary data visualized and visualization methods used. It then evaluated the initiatives based on criteria for PIV completeness. The study found that maps are most useful for projects involving federal systems. Visualization shaping allows for self-exploration and further insights. Large data sets benefit from detailed analysis and background information to support multiple interpretations. Disclosure of methodology enables further exploration of the data. Initiatives that best exemplified completeness included those from the French National Assembly, French Senate, and Italian Chamber of Deputies. The document concludes continuous effort is needed to improve PIV initiatives and their contribution to open parliament.

Sniffer is a proposed solution to help locate lost mobile phones. It works by using a small base station with a unidirectional antenna to detect the unique IMEI number of lost phones as they are powered on. The IMEI number is stored in a database along with other identifying information. When a lost phone is powered on, the sniffer detects its IMEI and matches it to the database to help locate the missing device. The sniffer system aims to provide a solution to the growing problem of lost and unrecovered mobile phones.

Big data impact on society: a research roadmap for Europe (BYTE project resea...Anna Fensel
With its rapid growth and increasing adoption, big data is producing a growing impact in society. Its usage is opening both opportunities such as new business models and economic gains and risks such as privacy violations and discrimination. Europe is in need of a comprehensive strategy to optimise the use of data for a societal benefit and increase the innovation and competitiveness of its productive activities. In this paper, we contribute to the definition of this strategy with a research roadmap that considers the positive and negative externalities associated with big data, maps research and innovation topics in the areas of data management, processing, analytics, protection, visualisation, as well as non-technical topics, to the externalities they can tackle, and provides a time frame to address these topics.

The document discusses the value of EU smart city projects in pushing technology innovation and ecosystems in cities. It notes that while many public sector staff recognize the importance of open data, many are unsure how to use it or what specific government open data initiatives exist. EU projects have helped stimulate local open data programs and impact in cities like Amsterdam by creating civic apps, code workshops, and hackathons. These projects have brought evidence and use cases around interoperable open data solutions and helped secure local policy and budget commitments to open data. They have also introduced cities to open innovation networks and technologies. The document encourages strong open innovation lobbying to capture opportunities from EU programs and create local open data ecosystems.

The document discusses the privacy and data protection issues related to the use of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for earth observation. It notes that while geospatial data collected by UAS does not directly relate to individuals, powerful sensors could allow individuals to be identified if captured, which may implicate data protection law. The document also examines how quasi-stationary, high-altitude UAS conducting prolonged observation could raise some privacy concerns if individuals are visible. It outlines resources and guidance being developed to help drone operators and professionals address these legal issues through privacy by design and risk assessments.
Risky Borders: Designing togetherness using information technology for intero...Trilateral Research
This document discusses the risks of using borders as a framework for togetherness in disaster response. It argues that data sharing across borders can create risks if the underlying frameworks and practices are mismatched. This can lead to loss of response control, inaccuracies from misunderstandings, and new inequalities in who and what data is prioritized for care. Anticipatory response work also faces risks if responders do not understand how data is represented and may rely too heavily on unintended biases. True togetherness requires mechanisms for notice, evaluation, reflexivity, and negotiation to support autonomy while describing differences in approaches.

This document summarizes privacy issues in the esports industry. It discusses how game developers, platforms, and broadcasters collect extensive personal and gameplay data with little transparency. This allows for mass dataveillance and profiling of players and viewers. Additionally, automated surveillance systems and terms of service give companies hierarchical control over communities with little oversight or player consent. Going forward, regulations like GDPR may help address these power imbalances and privacy risks in esports.
ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.
