FOAF (Friend of a Friend) is the most used ontology in the history of the universe. The document discusses the origins and rise of FOAF, which started as the RDFWebRing in 2000 to describe personal profiles and connections between individuals on the semantic web. It became widely used through applications like LiveJournal and Tribe in the early 2000s. The simple concept of describing people and their relationships enabled FOAF to spread organically and become very active despite starting as a side project.

A controversial discussion of the utility of DBpedia as authority data with examples from a project at the Library of Congress. Part of an ExLibris-sponsored panel discussion at ALA Chicago 2009.
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) is responsible for the development and maintenance of International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), UNIMARC, and the "Functional Requirements" family for bibliographic records (FRBR), authority data (FRAD), and subject authority data (FRSAD). ISBD underpins the MARC family of formats used by libraries world-wide for many millions of catalog records, while FRBR is a relatively new model optimized for users and the digital environment. These metadata models, schemas, and content rules are now being expressed in the Resource Description Framework language for use in the Semantic Web.
This webinar provides a general update on the work being undertaken. It describes the development of an Application Profile for ISBD to specify the sequence, repeatability, and mandatory status of its elements. It discusses issues involved in deriving linked data from legacy catalogue records based on monolithic and multi-part schemas following ISBD and FRBR, such as the duplication which arises from copy cataloging and FRBRization. The webinar provides practical examples of deriving high-quality linked data from the vast numbers of records created by libraries, and demonstrates how a shift of focus from records to linked-data triples can provide more efficient and effective user-centered resource discovery services.
Metadata plays an increasingly central role as a tool enabling the large-scale, distributed management of resources. However, metadata communities which have traditionally worked in relative isolation have struggled to make their specifications interoperate with others in the shared web environment.
This webinar explores how metadata standards with significantly different characteristics can productively coexist and how previously isolated metadata communities can work towards harmonization. The webinar presents a solution-oriented analysis of current issues in metadata harmonization with a focus on specifications of importance to the learning technology and library environments, notably Dublin Core, IEEE Learning Object Metadata, and W3C's Resource Description Framework. Providing concrete illustrations of harmonization problems and a roadmap for designing metadata for maximum interoperability, this webinar will provide a bird's-eye perspective on the respective roles of metadata syntaxes, formats, semantics, abstract models, vocabularies, and application profiles in achieving metadata harmonization.

Functional and Architectural Requirements for Metadata: Supporting Discovery...Jian Qin
The tremendous growth in digital data has led to an increase in metadata initiatives for different types of scientific data, as evident in Ball’s survey (2009). Although individual communities have specific needs, there are shared goals that need to be recognized if systems are to effectively support data sharing within and across all domains. This paper considers this need, and explores systems requirements that are essential for metadata supporting the discovery and management of scientific data. The paper begins with an introduction and a review of selected research specific to metadata modeling in the sciences. Next, the paper’s goals are stated, followed by the presentation of valuable systems requirements. The results include a base-model with three chief principles: principle of least effort, infrastructure service, and portability. The principles are intended to support “data user” tasks. Results also include a set of defined user tasks and functions, and applications scenarios.
Latin America & Caribbean Regional Outlook June 2013WB_Research
http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook
After a sharp recovery from the global economic crisis in 2010, when regional output expanded by 6 percent, growth in the Latin America and the Caribbean decelerated markedly, to an estimated 3 percent by 2012. Supply side constraints have become apparent in some of the larger economies, where output was near or above potential during the recovery phase, and which contributed to relatively high inflation and deterioration of current account balances. Despite a sharp deceleration in growth, regional output is only now in line with potential GDP.
http://www.worldbank.org/globaloutlook
South Asia’s regional GDP growth slipped to 4.8 percent in 2012, following a robust recovery in the years after the 2008 global financial crisis. A weakening global economy, coupled with domestic difficulties (including policy uncertainties, structural capacity constraints, and a poor harvest) contributed to weaker regional growth in 2012.
This is an edited version of a talk that I gave on the 11th of February to some PhD students from the University of Utrecht at a seminar on science and communication.
This long paper started out as a small experiment which was supposed to last an afternoon - a play-around with softwares NetDraw and yEd.
It ended up being a huge paper - too long to publish in a printed publication.
Results are not that significant, in that in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) community, it appears that people really mingle a lot with each other, but the matter of interest is to discover the power of the analysis which can be performed using the software used.
I really believe that Social Network Analysis using Netdraw, yEd, and other SNA and visualisation software, should be mandatory for any bottom-up organisation. I also think that corporations and organisations would really benefit from:
1. having their internal social networks analysis in the same manner.
2. using this type of analysis on their external professional social networks
This pinpoints who are the movers and shakers in the organization. This also pinpoints areas/departments where information flow might not be optimal, thus having a lesser contribution to the organization as a whole.
Feedback/discussion very welcome.

"What is left to do?", Dublin Core 2012 KeynoteDan Brickley
http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/index/pages/view/speakers-2012
Abstract: "The original 1995 Dublin Core vision of simple, publisher-provided metadata records for Web pages has finally entered the mainstream. From its earliest days, the Dublin Core community was positioned somewhere between the world of search, and the world of the library. The RDF-based approaches long championed by DCMI have recently enjoyed high profile adoption amongst both search engines and libraries. Where does this leave the Dublin Core as a community? Do we settle down into a quiet life of long-term metadata vocabulary maintenance, or are there larger challenges that emerge from this landscape of newly linked, networked information? Dan Brickley will revisit the history of the Dublin Core, outline the state of the art for bibliographic and Web metadata, and outline possible new roles, information-linking problems and practical opportunities for the Dublin Core as a project and as a growing community."

This is from a talk I gave in 2007, about the widget system and other developer APIs for Joost. It is now very out of date, Joost has an exciting new Web-based video player instead. I think the widget stuff was ahead of its time, even if moving to a Web player made sense. So I wanted to keep a record of what was built before memories fade completely :)

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Dagstuhl FOAF history talk
1. Perspectives Workshop: Semantic Web Reflections and Future Directions, 29 June 2009
FOAF (Friend of a Friend)
the most used ontology in the history of the universe?
how the hell did that happen?
?
Dan Brickley,
danbri@danbri.org
(Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)
2. Overview
• FOAF today: a very quick overview
• Origins of FOAF (as the RDFWebRing)
• Happy Accidents (2000-2003)
• Success, Horrible Success! (2004-5)
• Recent & Future History (2008/9)
4. FOAF today: the basics
• the FOAF vocabulary, a few classes and
properties describing people, groups, etc.
• high visibility outside RDF/RDFS/OWL scene
• lots of data, and a few interesting apps
• for a side-project, it became very active
12. What’s so special?
Nothing huge - subtle shifts of emphasis:
Use of Web standards.
Use of Web identifiers.
Information linking.
Easy to extend.
People are interesting...
13. Origins: RDFWebRing
Web in 2000:
Sixdegrees.com,
LiveJournal,
Weblogs, RSS...

14. RDFWeb 2000-2
• hacker project of Libby Miller, Dan Brickley
and our friends from the RDF Interest
Group, W3C, RSS and XML tech scene.
• Used RDFS and DAML+OIL to document
our work, ... as a means not an end.
• Early themes: PGP, digital signature and
trust, crawlers, linking, photo annotation.
15. June 2000:
The basic idea behind FOAF is simple: the Web is all about making connections between
things. FOAF provides some basic machinery to help us tell the Web about the connections
RDFWeb intro
between the things that matter to us.
Thousands of people already do this on the Web by describing themselves and their lives
on their home page. Using FOAF, you can help machines understand your home page, and FOAF is best explained with an example.
through doing so, learn about the relationships that connect people, places and things Consider a Web of inter-related home
described on the Web. FOAF uses W3C's RDF technology to integrate information from pages, each describing things of interest to
your home page with that of your friends, and the friends of your friends, and their friends.. a group of friends. Each new home page
that appears on the Web tells the world
something new, providing factoids and
Dan lives in Zetland road, Bristol, UK with Libby and gossip that make the Web a mine of
Craig. Dan's email address is danbri@w3.org. Libby's disconnected snippets of information.
email address is libby.miller@bris.ac.uk. Craig's is FOAF provides a way to make sense of all
craig@netgates.co.uk. Dan and Libby work for an this. Here's an example, a fragment from
organisation called "ILRT" whose website is at http:// the mostly-fictional FOAF database. First
ilrt.org/. Craig works for "Netgates", an organisation we list some facts, then describe how the
whose website is at http://www.netgates.co.uk/. Craig's
FOAF system makes it possible to explore
wife Liz lives in Bristol with Kathleen. Kathleen and
the Web learning such things.
Liz also work at "Netgates". Damian lives in London.
Martin knows Craig, Damian, Dan and Libby quite well.
Martin lives in Bristol and has an email address of
m.l.poulter@bristol.ac.uk. (etc...)
This kind of information is the sort of thing typically found on Web home pages. The extract shown here indicates how short,
stylised factual sentences can be used to characterise a Web of relationships between people, places, organisations and
documents. In real life, this information would be most likely be distributed across variou s Web pages created by the individuals
listed. Very likely, their pages will link directly or indirectly to the home pages of countless other friends-of-friends-of-friends.
16. Original Goals
We want a better way of keeping track of the scattered fragments of data currently represented in the
Web.
We want to be able to find documents in the Web based on their properties and inter-relationships...
We want to be able to find information about people based on their publications, employment details,
group membership and declared interests.
We want to be able to share annotations, ratings, bookmarks and arbitrary useful data fragments using
some common infrastructure.
We want a Web search system that's more like a database and less like a lucky dip.
We need it to be be distributed, decentralised, and content-neutral.
RDFWeb/FOAF, if successful, should help the Web do the sorts of things that are currently the
proprietary offering of centralised services.
17. Original use cases
• We want to be able to ask the Web sensible questions and common kinds of
thing (documents, organisations, people) and get back sensible results:
• "Find me today's web page recommendations made by people who work
for Medical organisations"
• "Find me recent publications by people I've co-authored documents with"
• "Show me critiques of this web page, and the home pages of the author of
that critique"
(see also EU DESIRE project, 1996-1999)
19. And it got big how?
• Libby Miller’s Java/Squish RDF query tools
• Edd Dumbill (of xml.com) wrote a nice
article on IBM DeveloperWorks.com
• Leigh Dodds created foaf-a-matic script, Ian
Davis (amongst other things) our logo
• RDF IG community built some early apps
• By 2003, Ecademy and TypePad exports
• In 2004, LiveJournal, Tribe, FOAFNet, ...
25. CoDepiction in 2002:
RDFWeb is intended to be both fun and technically challenging. We're trying to build a linked information system, RDFWeb,
as a way of connecting these two goals. In particular, we want RDF to present practical and interesting applications for the
Semantic Web, and explore ways of making them real. One of our favourite examples is photo metadata. This document tries
to explain why...
The (soon to be "Semantic") Web, if it is to reach its full potential, needs to become a lot more automatic. We hope that it will
be able to do things (offer us services) based on combining data and services scattered around the Web. It might, for
example, be able to find the phone numbers or AOL screen names of all your friends and professional collaborators. Or show
you the photos, names and recent publications and shared bookmarks for everyone attending the next meeting in your
calendar.
There are so many things the Web might usefully do in the future, that it is sometimes hard to see how we can get there from
here. W3C's RDF has been around since 1997, yet while it has been adopted in a number of applications (for example by
Mozilla, Open Directory, Adobe, RSS 1.0), people often ask why there is as yet no killer app for RDF. While we're not sure
that 'killer app' is the right way to think about the problem, it is true that there is relatively little RDF data 'out there in the
public Web', in the way that HTML is 'out there'.
The original idea behind RDFWeb was to experiment with making some cheap, simple RDF-based document formats that
were designed for deployment in the public Web. We began by asking 'What would it be like if machines could read my
homepage?', and by prototyping a simple vocabulary called FOAF ('Friend of a Friend'). The FOAF vocabulary provided a way
for RDF documents to talk about people and their characteristics. FOAF documents also make use of hypertext, providing
'seeAlso' links to other FOAF documents elsewhere in the Web. This simple convention makes it possible for RDF indexing
tools to explore an (RDF)Web of linked documents (hence the name of the project).
From foaf:knows to foaf:depiction...
Shortly after prototyping our early RDFWeb/FOAF tools, we ran into a design problem. The FOAF vocabulary initially tried to
define a number of basic relationships that could be used to describe connections between people in the Web. We
experimented with variations such as foaf:knows, foaf:friend and foaf:knowsWell. Eventually we decided that such a taxonomy
was neither appropriate nor deployable; we now simply use foaf:knows. Instead of trying to categorise subtle relationships
into broad classes, we took a different approach, focussing instead on other information about people. Documents they had
written (and who they were written with); Photos they'd taken (and who they'd taken them of). We expanded the early FOAF
support for image metadata by introducing the notion of a foaf:depiction. This relates something (eg. a person) to some
depiction of them (typically a digital image).
40. ...and we got noticed
“The very important aspect of FOAF (at least here in Japan) is that FOAF is
getting to be the first entry point to RDF/Semantic Web for ordinary people.
So many people say 'I first time feel partly understand RDF' or 'This is my first
experience to touch SW, wow!' in their blogs or diary pages.” --Kanzaki, June’03

• all the early demos died
• took a few years for global services
• “me and near me” personal crawlers?

62. How did LiveJournal get FOAF?
crschmidt: So, to the best of my knowledge, it went something like this:
crschmidt: 1. Roomate with neil. Neil is a deanspace hacker, I am an LJ hacker.
crschmidt: 2. Spend lots of time on LJ bug tracker. I seem to recall seeing fixing LJ bugs as a personal vendetta. I started
hacking on LJ around Oct 2003, iirc (the bug tracker from that time is dead)
crschmidt: 3. There was an open bug on FOAF support in LJ, which I was working on before the lj-biz post. (It was
something like a 4 month process, so if it was deployed in Feb, it was dfinitely before that)
crschmidt: 4. Iterate iterate iterate over the bug/patch, waiting in some cases for LJ to improve in other ways for speed, etc.
crschmidt: 5. Finally get the work that I did deployed in Feb 2004
crschmidt: So, basically: Someone who could find LJ's bugtracker thought it would be a good idea, and I had a tendancy to fix
every bug I understood, that one fit btter into my court than most because of the Deanspace connection in my
room, and that was my initial introduction to FOAF
crschmidt: I think that about sums it up, from what i remember
"A few people have asked "what's the point?" And to that I ask back, what is the point of RSS
and why did we bother implementing it here on LJ, even though people could just visit our
journals? RSS was implemented here because it's an open, machine-readable standard that has
been adopted by most of the blogging community to facilitate the sharing of information. One
of LiveJournal's core values is developing for the open source movement, and I think FOAF is
an exemplary project for which to extend this value. Of course there would be the option to
disable it. In fact, I think it should be opt-in, since it does provide personal information to the
outside world."

82. Problems
• “it’s ok to publish FOAF, so long as nobody uses
it...” - users don’t expect to see their data
resurface elsewhere (yet...)
• Deanspace and plink.org (now offline)
• Tribe.net & explode.us
• CC-for-people? OAuth for privacy? XMPP
for desktop access? privacy policies? Let
Facebook and twitter and FriendFeed train
everyone?

and DeanSpace? (room-mates)
• What’s the connection between Google

86. “Does it matter if they
use our stuff?”
• re-thinking core values
• domain-neutral aspects
• “people description” aspects
