EOSC-hub rules of participation, Mark van de SandenEOSC-hub project
The document discusses rules and criteria for including services in the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) service catalogues. It raises questions about whether there should be a single central catalogue or multiple catalogues, who would govern a central catalogue, what the requirements should be for services to be included, and whether certain criteria should be mandatory. It also briefly mentions existing research infrastructure catalogues like those from EGI, EUDAT, and national e-infrastructures.
European small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) as well as large corporations--whether already operating internationally or seeking to branch out to other countries and markets-- face multiple constraints to engage in trade abroad and to localise their products and services to other countries, mainly as a consequence of legal and language barriers.
Lynx will provide more effective ways of accessing huge amounts of digital regulatory compliance documents, including legislation, case law, standards, industry norms and best practices. In particular, this solution envisages an ecosystem of smart cloud services to better manage compliance documents, based on a Legal Knowledge Graph which integrates and links heterogeneous compliance data sources.

Driving Network and Marketing Investments at O2 by Focusing on Improving the ...DataWorks Summit
The idea was to predict the customer experience, and their perception of the O2 network at both the user and area levels to drive the network and marketing investments. Here is why and how we got there.
In order to measure and predict customer network experience, O2 needed a streaming big data solution which would consume billions of events coming in from the network, in real-time, to measure the performance of the network as experienced by the customer. It was important to build a platform to gather all the relevant data; to co-relate that with the customer satisfaction index (CSI) surveys to understand the relationship of metrics to score. We applied machine learning methods to predict the CSI for all users on the network. Customer insights from the network helped us to build customer segmentations which are shaping various marketing and digital propositions at O2.
- The overall solution was based on a hybrid architecture, where Open Source technologies were brought together with Tableau visualization which enabled O2 to keep the maintenance cost down to a minimum.
- In order to have quick ROI, the solution was built as the prototype which continued to evolve and now currently handles 30 billion transactions a day, continuously streaming into the platform, and predicting customer experience for 35m+ users.
The O2 solution continued to expand every year to accommodate multi-fold growth in traffic, and to accommodate additional features. The decision to move from a community edition Hadoop to the Hortonworks-based platform enabled us to have a supported, faster, and more reliable service. The migration to Hortonworks was completed in October 2018 which has given us the reliable platform to expand the analytics use cases across the wider O2 businesses.

Publication and usage of linked data has been highly pursued by cultural heritage institutions and service providers in this domain. Much research and cooperation are taking place in adapting and improving cultural heritage data models for linked data and in defining ontologies and vocabularies, as well as the setting up of services based on linked data. This article presents an evaluation of ontologies and vocabularies published as liked data, which originate from the cultural heritage domain, or are frequently used and linked to in this domain. Our study aims to evaluate their usability by crawlers operating on the web of data, according to specifications and practices of linked data, the Semantic Web and ontology reasoning. We evaluate having in mind the use case of general data consumption applications based on RDF, RDF Schema, OWL, SKOS and linked data’s guidelines. We have evaluated twelve ontologies and vocabularies and identified that four were not fully compliant, and that alignments between ontologies are not included in the definitions of the ontologies. This study contributes to the research of novel services consuming linked data. It also allows to better assess the automation that can be achieved to handle the variety and large volume of linked data, when assessing the viability of new services based on linked data in cultural heritage.

Opening Digitized Newspapers Corpora: Europeana’s Full-text Data Interoperabi...Nuno Freire
Cultural heritage institutions hold collections of printed newspapers that are valuable resources for the study of history, linguistics and other Digital Humanities scientific domains. Effective retrieval of newspapers content based on metadata only is a task nearly impossible, making the retrieval based on (digitized) full-text particularly relevant. Europeana, Europe’s Digital Library, is in the position to provide access to large newspapers collections with full-text resources. Full-text corpora are also relevant for Europeana’s objective of promoting the usage of cultural heritage resources for use within research infrastructures. We have derived requirements for aggregating and publishing Europeana’s newspapers full-text corpus in an interoperable way, based on investigations into the specific characteristics of cultural data, the needs of two research infrastructures (CLARIN and EUDAT) and the practices being promoted in the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) community. We have then defined a ‘full-text profile’ for the Europeana Data Model, which is being applied to Europeana’s newspaper corpus.

To address the difficulties of discoverability in CH, the common practice is metadata aggregation, where centralized efforts like Europeana facilitate discoverability by collecting the resources’ metadata. In the last years, the CH domain has invested in data models for Linked Data (LD) representation of CH metadata. LD, however, also has potential for innovating metadata aggregation. We present the results of a pilot case study within the Europeana Network. In this pilot, the National Library of The Netherlands plays the role of initial data provider, with the Dutch Digital Heritage Network the one of intermediary service providing datasets to Europeana. We analysed the requirements for an LD aggregation solution and defined a workflow that fulfils the same functional requirements as Europeana’s current solution. The workflow was put into practice within the pilot and led to the development of several software components for managing datasets, harvesting LD, data analysis and integration. Our analysis of the experience discusses the effort of adopting such an LD approach for data providers and aggregators, the expertise required by CH data analysts, and the supporting tools required for semantic data.
Aggregation of cultural heritage datasets through the Web of DataNuno Freire
The existence of many digital libraries, maintained by different organizations, brings challenges to the discoverability of cultural heritage (CH) resources. Metadata aggregation is an approach where centralized efforts like Europeana facilitate their discoverability by collecting the resource’s metadata. Nowadays, CH institutions are increasingly applying technologies designed for the wider interoperability on the Web. In this context, we have identified the Schema.org vocabulary and linked data (LD) as potential technologies for innovating CH metadata aggregation. We present the results of an analysis using the case of the Europeana network of aggregators and data providers as basis. We have conducted a survey of the available linked data technology, and we defined a solution, which we have put into practice in a pilot implementation within the Europeana network. In this pilot, the National Library of The Netherlands fulfils the role of data provider, with the Dutch Digital Heritage Network, as national aggregator, supporting the provision of several datasets from the national library to Europeana. The metadata is published using LD practices, having Schema.org as the main vocabulary. The national library also implements all the necessary semantic web mechanisms, defined in our solution, for making the datasets discoverable and harvestable by Europeana. Our proposal involves the use of vocabularies for description of datasets, and their distributions, namely DCAT, VoID and Schema.org. Europeana implements the LD harvester side of the solution and applies it to harvest the Schema.org data from the national library.
Evaluation of Schema.org for Aggregation of Cultural Heritage MetadataNuno Freire
In the World Wide Web, a very large number of resources is made available through digital libraries. The existence of many individual digital libraries, maintained by different organiza-tions, brings challenges to the discoverability, sharing and reuse of the resources. A widely-used approach is metadata aggregation, where centralized efforts like Europeana facilitate the discoverability and use of the resources by collecting their associated metadata. The cultural heritage domain embraced the aggregation approach while, at the same time, the technological landscape kept evolving. Nowadays, cultural heritage institutions are increas-ingly applying technologies designed for the wider interoperability on the Web. In this con-text, we have identified the Schema.org vocabulary as a potential technology for innovating metadata aggregation. We conducted two case studies that analysed Schema.org metadata from collections from cultural heritage institutions. We used the requirements of the Euro-peana Network as evaluation criteria. These include the recommendations of the Europeana Data Model, which is a collaborative effort from all the domains represented in Europeana: libraries, museums, archives, and galleries. We concluded that Schema.org poses no obstacle that cannot be overcome to allow data providers to deliver metadata in full compliance with Europeana requirements and with the desired semantic quality. However, Schema.org’s cross-domain applicability raises the need for accompanying its adoption by recommenda-tions and/or specifications regarding how data providers should create their Schema.org metadata, so that they can meet the specific requirements of Europeana or other cultural aggregation networks.
The Europeana Community: Semantics and Cultural Heritage DataNuno Freire
This document discusses Europeana, a digital platform that provides access to over 54 million items from European cultural heritage institutions. It summarizes Europeana's data model and entity collection, which aims to semantically link cultural heritage objects. The document also outlines Europeana's linked data strategy and use of semantic annotations. It proposes future work using semantic services from e-Infrastructures to support annotations, data curation, and discovery of cultural heritage datasets.
Building new knowledge from distributed scientific corpus: HERBADROP & EUROPE...Nuno Freire
EUDAT provides common data services for research communities through a network of European organizations. This document discusses two case studies using EUDAT services: Herbadrop and Europeana. Herbadrop aims to preserve and extract information from digitized herbarium specimen images using optical character recognition and image analysis. Europeana exposes cultural heritage collections on the web and is exploring using EUDAT services to facilitate research use of these resources. Challenges include improving discovery of heritage data, supporting additional metadata and file formats, and computational processing for analysis. Overall, the case studies found EUDAT services successfully applied but identified new requirements from heritage research data.
Metadata Aggregation: Assessing the Application of IIIF and Sitemaps within C...Nuno Freire
This document summarizes research into using IIIF and Sitemaps technologies for metadata aggregation at Europeana. It describes case studies conducted with the National Library of Wales and University College Dublin on crawling their IIIF services using IIIF collections and Sitemaps. The studies found these technologies provided simple, effective solutions for metadata aggregation with few technological obstacles. Future work includes additional case studies and monitoring new trends to improve aggregation workflows at Europeana.
IIIF at europeana, IIIF conference, Vatican, 2017Nuno Freire
This document summarizes Europeana's work to aggregate metadata from cultural heritage institutions using the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF). It describes Europeana's goals of making over 54 million digitized objects discoverable. Case studies were conducted with partners to test crawling IIIF services and aggregating metadata. Ongoing work involves representing metadata in Schema.org and using linked data notifications. Future collaboration opportunities are discussed to further test IIIF for metadata aggregation across Europeana's network.

Use Cases From Digital Humanities for Library Linked DataNuno Freire
The document discusses using library linked open data to support digital humanities research. Specifically, it describes The European Library's open dataset containing 3.5 billion triples of cultural heritage data. While a SPARQL endpoint is being set up, the full dataset is too large to host. Supporting specific use cases from digital humanities research by providing subsets of the data focused on a historical period, location, or language could help address this challenge by enabling viable hosting solutions and SPARQL access for researchers.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
