End-to-End Semantics: Sensors, Semitones and Social MachinesDavid De Roure
Keynote talk by David De Roure at SSN workshop at ISWC 2012, Boston, 12 November 2012
In many respects the music industry has gone digital "end-to-end", with success stories in Semantic Web adoption. Science too is dealing with a "digital turn" and the R&D community is active with Semantic Web. Meanwhile the Semantic Sensor Network workshop series has demonstrated the applicability of Semantic Web approaches in the sensor network domain. Looking to the future, what can we learn from music and science – and what can they learn from us? In this talk I will draw examples from music and science and introduce a discussion on future work in Semantic Sensor Networks.
This document discusses new forms of data and scientific research. It notes that more data and computation allows more people and machines to work together (Quadrant 4). This shifts research to a more data-driven paradigm, posing statistical challenges. It questions how objects in a sensemaking network are shared. New data requires new methods, objects, intermediaries, and social machines to facilitate research. In conclusion, the integration of more data, people, and machines enables new forms of collaborative and data-driven scientific research.

PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) in primary schools is important because it promotes a healthy lifestyle in students. One quarter of children are overweight or obese and do less physical activity than in the past. PDHPE gets students moving and helps them make good choices about diet, health, self-care, relationships, and treating others well. When implemented effectively in primary schools, PDHPE can help address rising obesity rates in children and establish healthy habits to carry into adulthood.

Alicia Taylor proposes creating a magazine focused on music from the 1980s era. She believes this theme would appeal to the target demographic of 16-25 year olds who are interested in 1980s music revival. The magazine would have colorful graphic designs inspired by 1980s magazines but with higher print quality. Articles would have a personal and enthusiastic tone about bands, with less commercial focus, to appeal to readers' enjoyment of music over profit.
This questionnaire asks about magazine preferences including average price willingness to pay, appeals of magazine covers, suitable music artists for the magazine's style, target age demographic, appealing sayings, interesting article types, and factors that attract readers to articles such as featured artists, length, words, images, and color.
