Personalized learning involves standardizing and harnessing data being created about specific student learning strengths and weaknesses, and connecting those needs with appropriate learning content. To achieve this, galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs), as well as scientific institutions like zoos and aquariums, which already produce open educational content, need to improve the discoverability and retrieval of their digital resources. We must develop complete learning-appropriate descriptions of what we have and share this descriptive language with users in many settings. Two of the most promising programs to address this challenge are the schema.org metadata project, called the Learning Resource Metadata Initiative, and the Learning Registry, a federally created technology infrastructure for the distribution of such metadata and the consolidation of information about its usage. We discuss the history and impacts of both programs, share our methodology for implementing and evaluating a Smithsonian project in progress, and propose recommended next steps for GLAMs.

The AI Platform Business Revolution: Matchmaking, Empathetic Technology, and ...Steve Omohundro
Popular media is full of stories about self-driving cars, video deepfakes, and robot citizens. But this kind of popular artificial intelligence is having very little business impact. The actual impact of AI on business is in automating business processes and in creating the "AI Platform Business Revolution". Platform companies create value by facilitating exchanges between two or more groups. AI is central to these businesses for matchmaking between producers and consumers, organizing massive data flows, eliminating malicious content, providing empathetic personalization, and generating engagement through gamification. The platform structure creates moats which generate outsized sustainable profits. This is why platform businesses are now dominating the world economy. The top five companies by market cap, half of the unicorn startups, and most of the biggest IPOs and acquisitions are platforms. For example, the platform startup ByteDance is now worth $75 billion based on three simple AI technologies.
In this talk we survey the current state of AI and show how it will generate massive business value in coming years. A recent McKinsey study estimates that AI will likely create over 70 trillion dollars of value by 2030. Every business must carefully choose its AI strategy now in order to thrive over coming decades. We discuss the limitations of today's deep learning based systems and the "Software 2.0" infrastructure which has arisen to support it. We discuss the likely next steps in natural language, machine vision, machine learning, and robotic systems. We argue that the biggest impact will be created by systems which serve to engage, connect, and help individuals. There is an enormous opportunity to use this technology to create both social and business value.

The volume of user data, generated in museums continues to increase rapidly. Data is collected from the visitor’s physical experience but also from all the different digital touchpoints of that experience: web, social media, ticketing, mobile apps, among others. The application of AI to analyze and visualize this data brings an opportunity for museums to understand better their audiences and create personalized and engaging experiences. These technologies allow museums to demonstrate their continued relevance in an increasingly digital society, and present new ways for museums to collect, tell stories and engage with visitors. However these technologies and the societal changes they have led to, also created important ethical considerations for museums.

Crowdsourcing projects have generated millions of data points through volunteer contributions of classifications, tags and other information about cultural heritage and scientific collections. However, to what extent have crowdsourcing and citizen science projects democratised knowledge about the past within 'official' collections and knowledge management systems? And how would infrastructures and policies in cultural heritage organisations need to change to allow deeper integration with knowledge captured through citizen science projects?

A talk at the DH Lab at the University of Exeter in February 2019.
The British Library's Digital Scholarship Training Programme provides colleagues with the space and support to
develop the necessary skills and knowledge to support emerging areas of modern scholarship. Their familiarity with the foundational concepts, methods and tools of digital scholarship in turn helps promote a spirit of innovation and creativity, encouraging digital initiatives within the Library and with external partners. Finally, the programme of events helps nourish and sustain an internal digital scholarship community of interest/practice.
In this talk, Digital Curator Dr. Mia Ridge will share some of the lessons the team have learnt about delivering Digital Scholarship training in a library environment since it began several years ago, and some of the challenges they still face.
A modest proposal: crowdsourcing in cultural heritage benefits us all.Mia
Projects like In the Spotlight http://playbills.libcrowds.com encourage people to pay close attention to historic playbills while transcribing text to help make them more discoverable. Crowdsourcing cultural heritage tasks can create new relationships between cultural organisations and the public, while creating moments of curiosity that help people understand the past and present. Isn't it time you tried crowdsourcing?

Crowdsourcing at the British Library: lessons learnt and future directionsMia
Digital Humanities Congress, University of Sheffield, September 2018.
The British Library has been experimenting with crowdsourcing since it launched the Georeferencer (http://www.bl.uk/georeferencer/) in 2012. It launched an updated platform for crowdsourcing in late 2017. Currently the platform supports two projects, In the Spotlight (http://playbills.libcrowds.com/, transcribing information from the Library's historic collection of theatre playbills) and Convert-a-Card (https://www.libcrowds.com/collection/convertacard, converting printed card catalogues into digital records).
This presentation will provide a case study of the implementation of this crowdsourcing platform, considering how the design of behind-the-scenes processes such as metadata workflow, and visible outputs such as the user experience and conversations with participants, were informed by lessons learnt from past projects. The platform is integrated with new Library infrastructure that publishes images in IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework, http://iiif.io/about/) and has pioneered the use of web annotations for crowdsourced data.
It will discuss how and why In the Spotlight was designed with a balance between productivity (the number of tasks completed) with enjoyment and opportunities for engagement (whether discussing interesting playbills on the forum or social media, or investigating aspects of theatre history) in mind. It will also look at the integration of crowdsourced data into the Library's catalogues, and how the project has changed in response to requests and feedback from participants.
The presentation will include a progress update on the project, and discuss how we applied best practices like usability testing and Europeana's Impact model (https://pro.europeana.eu/what-we-do/impact). It will finish with a preview of future plans for the platform, including the ability for library staff to build their own projects with digitised collections in compatible formats. Reducing the technical overhead for launching a pilot project could be immensely valuable - but how will we ensure that anyone starting a project understands that crowdsourcing is more about people than it is about technology?

Historical thinking in crowdsourcing and citizen history projectsMia
The TL;DR version: repeated exposure and active attention to primary materials can develop some historical skills; more learning happens through observing and participating in discussion.
Presentation for Creating Historical Knowledge Socially: New Approaches, Opportunities and Epistemological Implications of Undertaking Research with Citizen Scholars
Washington DC, October 2017
Abstract: This 20-minute presentation examines the extent to which crowdsourcing and 'citizen history' projects and discussion platforms enable and encourage the practice of historical thinking. It takes the definitions of historical thinking set out by scholars and institutional bodies and the American Historical Association's 'core competencies' for students in history courses and degree programs as cues for an extensive trace-ethnographic analysis of participant discourse on crowdsourcing and digital community history platforms. This analysis found evidence for the development of historical thinking, situated learning and collective knowledge creation through participation in online communities of practice. Crowdsourcing project forums support many of the behaviours considered typical of communities of practice, including problem solving, requests for information, seeking the experience of past behaviours, coordinating actions, documenting shared knowledge and experiences, and discussing developments. This paper draws on research undertaken for my 2015 PhD, Making digital history: The impact of digitality on public participation and scholarly practices in historical research, in which I explored the ways in which some crowdsourcing projects encourage deeper engagement with history or science, and the role of communities of practice in citizen history.

For Beyond the Black Box, University of Edinburgh, February 2017
As the datasets used by humanists become ever larger and more readily accessible, the ability to render and interpret overwhelmingly large amounts of information in graphically literate ways has become an increasingly important part of the researcher’s skillset. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the core principles of scholarly data visualisation and shown how to use a variety of visualisation tools.
Visualisations may sound like the opposite of a black box, as they display the data provided. However, aside from 'truthiness' of things on a screen, lots of invisible algorithmic decisions affect what appears on the screen. Data used in visualisations is increasingly generated algorithmically rather than manually. What choices is software making for you, and whose world view do they reflect? Algorithms are choices - if you can't read the source code or access the learned model, how can you understand them?

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

sites and aggregators. CMS. CRM. VR, AR, MR.
5. Stories considered harmful
• It’s fine for social media to be ephemeral
• ‘Digital’ is just marketing, no-one expects it to be kept
• We have limited resources, and if we spend them all
maintaining things then how will we build the new cool
things the Director wants?
• We're a museum / gallery / library / archive, not a
software development company, what do you mean we
have to maintain things?
• What do you mean, software decays over time?
• ‘Digital’ is just like an exhibition; once it’s launched
you’re done
• That person left, it doesn’t matter anymore
6. If you don’t make conscious
choices about what to
maintain, you’re leaving it
to fate
8. Better stories for the future
• You can’t save everything. Make conscious
decisions about what to maintain and how you’ll
close the things you can’t maintain
• Plan for a graceful exit – for all stakeholders
• Refresh little and often, where possible
• Build on standards, work with communities
• Also:
• Check whether your websites are archiveready.com
• Support GLAMs with the legislative, rights and
