The key trends across hardware, cloud and open-source; exploring how these areas are likely to mature and develop over the short and long-term, and then considering how organisations can position themselves to adapt and thrive.
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.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Sample
2. Prepare it for use with open source tools and some clever
python scripts
3. Check it all works
4. Display on a pretty openlayers map
Simples!
7. Getting Started
Boot the liveDVD and login with the username user and the
password user
Welcome to XUbuntu!
Click on the "Home" folder on your desktop to see where your
files will be stored
8. Getting Started
Change the keyboard settings from US to UK by right-clicking
the US flag in the top-right corner of the screen and clicking the
"Add" button next to "Keyboard Layouts". Expand "United
Kingdom" and choose "Extended win-keys" and hit "OK".
9. Getting Started
We need to update one piece of software on the disk.
Open Applications (menu) -> System -> Synaptic Package
Manager
Click the "reload" button to reload the list of available
repositories.
10. Getting Started
In the "quick search" box, search for gdal-bin.
We are looking for version 1.8.
11. Getting Started
Tick the box next to gdal-bin and choose "Mark for Upgrade".
Click the "Apply" button and agree to the dialogue about
installing additional packages.
12. Getting Started
First we need to get the data, and the scripts and tools that
we'll use to work with it.
In firefox download into your "Downloads" folder:
http://download.astuntechnology.com/public/Workshop2011.zip
Extract Workshop2011.zip by right-clicking it and choosing
"open with archive manager", and save in the "Downloads"
folder.
13. Getting Started
Then we need to download some sample mastermap data from
the Ordnance Survey, as their license prevents us from
distributing it.
In firefox, go to:
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/try-
now/sample-data.html
and download the OS MasterMap Topography Layer zip file
This will be saved in your "Downloads" folder. Right-click it and
choose "Open with Archive Manager" and extract it to the
folder:
/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Data/OS MasterMap
14. Getting Started
Check the permissions on both the Workshop2011 folder, the
_mapserverconfig folder, and the .map files.
In File Manager, right-click the folder or file and choose
"Properties". Choose the "Permissions" tab and ensure that it
is set to read-only for the "Others" group.
If presented with a dialogue asking you to make these changes
to sub-folders and files, agree to it.
15. Creating the database
We are going to create a spatial database to hold the
MasterMap and Vector-based Open Data.
Open pgadmin3 from Geospatial (menu) -> Databases -> PG
Admin III and expand the "Servers" list in the left-hand window.
Double-click on "localhost" as that represents the local
computer.
Expand "localhost" and right-click on "Databases" to create a
new database.
This should be called mapbase
The owner should be user
The template should be template_postgis
17. Creating the database
Next, we need to create some schemas in the database to hold
the different types of data.
Select the SQL window, choose the "open file" dialog and then
browse to the file:
/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Software/create-
schemas.sql
Then click the "Execute Query" button to run the SQL
19. Loading the Ordnance Survey Open Data
In File Manager navigate to
/home/user/Downloads/workshop2011/Software
Make the script load-os-opendata.sh executable by right
clicking the file in File Manager and in the Permissions tab
checking "Allow this file to run as a program" and click OK
Open a terminal window and type the following:
cd /home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Software
./load-os-opendata.sh
This might take a while... so we'll take a look at what data
we've included:
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/os-
opendata.html
21. Loading the Ordnance Survey Mastermap Data
This requires the same process as before, so navigate
to /home/user/Downloads/workshop2011/Software
Make the script load-os-mastermap.sh executable by
right clicking the file in File Manager and in the
Permissions tab checking "Allow this file to run as a
program" and click OK
Open a terminal window and type the following:
cd /home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Software
./load-os-mastermap.sh
This will also take a while... so we'll take a look at the
tools we're using at http://www.gdal.org/
22. Raster Data Preparation
As downloaded from the Ordnance Survey, the raster
data needs some preparation to make it useable in
mapserver (or any gis).
Firstly, in File Manager, navigate to
/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Data and for
each of the folders below, navigate into the named folder
and move the georeferencing files, or .tfw files from
./data/georeferencing files/tfw to ./data, where the tifs
are.
Do this for each of the following folders:
• 1 250 000 Scale Colour Raster
• MiniScale
• OS Street View
• OS VectorMap District (Raster)
23. Raster Data Preparation
To make the multi-tile raster datasets, such as OS
VectorMap District (Raster) and OS Street View work
more efficiently in mapserver, we need to create a
tileindex for each dataset.
This is a shapefile of polygons representing the
boundaries of each raster tile, with an attribute
location recording the relative path to the tile.
24. Raster Data Preparation
In File Manager, navigate
to /home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011, right-click data
and choose "open terminal here".
Type:
gdaltindex "OS VectorMap District
(Raster)/data/osvectormapdistrict.shp" "OS VectorMap
District (Raster)/data/"*.tif
Repeat for StreetView:
gdaltindex "OS Street View/data/osstreetview.shp" "OS
Street View/data/"*.tif
Top tip: use the tab key to autocomplete directory
and file names at the command line
25. Testing your map file
You can view your map file directly in a web browser using the
following URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?
map=/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/_MapserverConfig
/OSOpendata.map&mode=map&layers=[layername]
Substitute the name of a layer from your OSOpendata.map file
(or the included map files)- remembering that it is case
sensitive.
Recall that some layers have a minimum and maximum
scale at which they display. You can comment out these in
the map file for testing purposes, using the # symbol.
26. OH NO! It's all gone wrong!
Errors will be shown in the browser window or in the log files
in /var/www/temp.
27. And finally...
Once the map file is working correctly, it's time to see the
results of all your hard work in a shiny OpenLayers map.
Open a command prompt and type the following:
sudo cp
/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/Software/OpenLaye
rs/opendatamap.htm /var/www/opendatamap.htm
Finally, view the map in the browser at
http://localhost/opendatamap.htm
28. Extra Credit: Viewing the Data in Quantum GIS
Now we have our vector data loaded into PostgreSQL, we
can view it in any standards-compliant desktop GIS.
Open Quantum GIS from the Geospatial (menu) -> Desktop
GIS -> Quantum GIS
Go to Layer (menu) -> Add PostGIS Layer, then click "new"
and fill in the following:
• Name (can be anything)
• Host- Localhost
• Database- mapbase
• Username- user
• Password - user
• Port 5432
Tick the "save username" and "save password" boxes and
test the connection
30. Viewing the Vector Data in Quantum GIS
Click on the "Connect" button to make a connection to
the database. In the main window, expand the schemas
and choose a table (or tables) to load, and click "Add"
31. Viewing the WMS in Quantum GIS
We can view our styled data as image data (not
clickable) in Quantum GIS.
Choose Layer (menu) -> Add WMS Layer. In the Layers
tab, click "New" and give the server a name (like
mapserver) and put in the following address as the URL:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv?
map=/home/user/Downloads/Workshop2011/_Mapserver
Config/OSOpendata.map
Leave the username and password blank, and click
"OK".
33. Viewing the WMS in Quantum GIS
Click "Connect" to see the available layer groups from
your map file. Expand these to see the available layers,
and choose "Add" to add these to your map.
