The first of two talks in a seminar held on Friday 6 October 2017 at Exeter Library as part of Exeter’s Lost Weekend festival of creativity, technology and ideas. The seminar took in contributions from two artists who have come from an established, traditional fine art practice and introduced elements of data and interactivity.
An independent artist and writer based in Exeter, Gabrielle Hoad makes photographs, objects, actions and site-responsive works, which may invite contributions – often testing objective against subjective modes of description.
Gabrielle was a recipient of the Exeter Phoenix Digital Art Commission in 2012. She was a Creative Affiliate of the University of Exeter’s Environment & Sustainability Institute (2014–15), where she collaborated with a scientist on identifying, creating and visualising microclimates. She has also worked with Oxford University’s Mathematical Institute (2015). In 2016, she was awarded an a-n Professional Development Bursary to carry out a residency at Dawlish Warren National Nature Reserve with two other artists.
In this talk, Gabrielle discusses her 2014 Arts Council-funded research project Solid Air, which used data as source material. Setting out to track the flight paths of flocking birds and transcribe them into fixed three-dimensional objects, Solid Air was a collaboration with Dr Steven Portugal of the Royal Veterinary College's Structure & Motion Lab, as well as digital specialists and 3D printing experts. She describes the journey from a fine art drawing practice to a project that made use of state-of-the-art data loggers and fabrication techniques.

Lessons learned from the winter cycling surveyMartin L
For a recently finished project we conducted an online survey on winter cycling in February 2015. The outcome serve as evidence basis for future developments of information tools for winter cyclists.
Apart from the results as such (which were enormously helpful, to some extent surprising and indeed relevant for what we are doing), we have learned quite a lot about the winter cycling community and how to engage with them. Additionally some fundamental and methodological insights could have been gained.

SEMANCO - Integrating multiple data sources, domains and tools in urban ener...Álvaro Sicilia
Semantic-based interoperability based on ontologies provide an alternative to centralized stand-ard data models. They help to integrate heterogeneous data produced by loose coupled information systems and to interlink these data with different tools in ad hoc situations. In the SEMANCO project (www.semanco-project.eu) we have used semantic technologies to create energy models of urban areas encompassing a variety of data sources and do-mains (building, geospatial, energy, climate, socioeconomic). The semantically modelled data has been made accessible to a set of simulation and analysis tools. The interoperability among the data sources and between these and the tools that interact with them is assured by a Semantic Energy Information Framework (SEIF) developed in the project. The access to the data and tools takes place in the SEMANCO integrated platform. In this paper we describe the work carried out to integrate an existing simulation software –URSOS– with the semantic data model. The functionalities of the tool and the integrated platform have been demonstrated in an application case carried out in the city of Manresa, in Spain
Exposing Bibliographic Information as Linked Open Data using Standards-based ...Nikolaos Konstantinou
The Linked Open Data (LOD) movement is constantly gaining worldwide acceptance. In this paper we describe how LOD is generated in the case of digital repositories that contain bibliographic information, adopting international standards. The available options and respective choices are presented and justified while we also provide a technical description, the methodology we followed, the possibilities and difficulties in the way, and the respective benefits and drawbacks. Detailed examples are provided regarding the implementation and query capabilities, and the paper concludes after a discussion over the results and the challenges associated with our approach, and our most important observations and future plans.
Visualising large spatial databases and Building bespoke geodemographicsDr Muhammad Adnan
This presentation outlines my work at the Local Futures and the PhD research. I have been working on a combined project between Local Futures and UCL and the presentation starts by giving an introduction of the project. My PhD investigated the creation of Real-time bespoke geodemographics, and this presentation presents the work i did during the PhD journey.
The incorporation of numeric models and simulations onto GIS platforms will answer existing and developing problems of increasing complexity. This can be described as a move from analysis of what is happening to what will happen, or what could happen, and why. Some examples of this type of predictive modelling are: diagnostics and forecasts on shoreline erosion, land uses and their risk assessments, or control of human presence in natural areas. It will also be necessary to combine the simulations to aggregate output for enhanced decision support.
The platform is within the scope of the PIKSEL project, started in 2020 by the Catalan government and CIMNE to develop a system to support territorial management and decision support.
The primary motivation of the platform is the social interconnection of researchers, via the interoperability of content, numerical models and simulations. Models are specifically designed for a function, and like any software, there is no rule or methodology for creating them. Models are extremely heterogeneous, almost all are coded and constructed differently, differing in operating systems, hardware platforms, programming languages, inputs and outputs, and interfaces, with varied requirements, languages, inputs, outputs, measurements and formats. Harmonization of models has been a long sought goal, so that users would be able to combine models with ease, and faces distinct challenges to enact, as detailed by Zhang et al., 2018.
It is required to develop a manner allow ingress of new content, as well as inventory and access mechanisms. This is practical; the development of content (e.g. models, scripts, data) is time consuming and opening the platform for external participation is essential. The ecommerce component will function as a catalog and portal to the PIKSEL platform.
The objective of this investigation is to create a content management system with ecommerce capabilities for a platform as a service (PaaS) that utilizes computational models in addition to data. Said CMS will allow interoperability between resources for aggregated output.

GRASS and OSGeo: a framework for archeologyMarkus Neteler
Use of GIS and geospatial data in archeology. Contribution to:
Quarto Workshop Italiano "Open Source, Free Software e Open Format nei processi di ricerca archeologica", Roma, 27 e 28 aprile 2009. Sede centrale del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR)
http://www.archeo-foss.org/
Abstract:
With the widespread availability of desktop GIS, archaeologists have gained the tools to comprehensively analyze the important spatial component of their data. Initial archaeological use of GIS was (and still is in many instances) for making maps of archaeological sites. Rather quickly GIS became used for predictive modeling of site locations. More recently, viewshed analysis has seen increasing use, in efforts to understand prehistoric perceptions of the landscape.
In the last years, Open Source GIS software evolved to a powerful set of software products which support both scientific as well as common GIS users. In particular, the integration of GIS with image processing capabilities, geospatial data analysis, database management system and Web mapping software enables archaeologists to perform their tasks in a completely free environment. Since 2006, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) operates as umbrella foundation for Web Mapping, Desktop GIS Applications, Geospatial Libraries, Metadata Catalog as well as the Public Geospatial Data project and the Education and Curriculum project.
In our presentation, we focus on GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) for spatial data analysis and visualization. GRASS is the largest Open Source GIS program currently available. The new version GRASS 6.4.0 is interoperable as it supports all common vector and raster GIS formats. Its capabilities cover raster and volume spatial analysis and modeling, time-series and landscape analysis, image processing, and visualization of 2D and 3D (voxel) raster data. Vector data can be digitized, extracted, extruded to 3D, and vector networks analyzed. Vector data are handled topologically. Vector attributes are stored in internal or externally connected databases. All general GIS tasks like map reprojection, georeferencing, and transformations are available for raster and vector data. The data storage concept of GRASS permits for single as well as multi-user access set up via network file system.
GRASS 6.4.0, the new stable release after more than one year of development and testing, brings a number of exciting enhancements to the GIS. Besides the hundreds of new module features, supported data formats, and language translations. The 6.4.0 release also runs in MS-Windows, a new installer is provided. A new graphical user interface with integrated location wizard and new vector digitizer is also included.
The presentation concludes with a series of applications relevant to archaeology including image processing, Lidar data analysis, fast viewshed analysis and more.
An analysis of the quality issues of the properties available in the Spanish ...Nandana Mihindukulasooriya
DBpedia exposes data from Wikipedia as machine-readable Linked Data. The DBpedia data extraction process generates RDF data in two ways; (a) using the mappings that map the data from Wikipedia infoboxes to the DBpedia ontology and other vocabularies, and (b) using infobox-properties, i.e., properties that are not defined in the DBpedia
ontology but are auto-generated using the infobox attribute-value pairs. The work presented in this paper inspects the quality issues of the properties used in the Spanish DBpedia dataset according to conciseness, consistency, syntactic validity, and semantic accuracy quality dimensions.
The ICARUS aviation ontology was presented at the 10th international Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and Semantics (WIMS'20) that was held virtually during June 30th – 3rd July in 2020.

Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
