FRBR stands for Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is a conceptual entity-relationship model developed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA).
A conceptual entity relationship model that relates user tasks of retrieval and access in online library catalogs and bibliographic databases from a user’s perspective.
A new conceptual model for bibliographic universe with a strong users focus .
The purpose of this entity relationship analysis was to discover the logical nature of bibliographic data in terms of entity, attributes and relationship.
Resource Description Framework (RDF) has entered the metadata scene for libraries in a major way over the last few years. While the promise of its Linked Data capabilities is exciting, the realities of changing data models, encoding practices, and even ontologies can put a check on that excitement. This session will explore these issues and discuss when this is worth doing and how to go about doing it.

Talk about Exploring the Semantic Web, and particularly Linked Data, and the Rhizomer approach. Presented August 14th 2012 at the SRI AIC Seminar Series, Menlo Park, CA
“Publishing and Consuming Linked Data. (Lessons learnt when using LOD in an a...Marta Villegas
Talk given at the "1st Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD-15)"
In this talk we will describe our experience when publishing and, more crucially, consuming Linked Data at the Spanish CLARIN Knowledge Centre (http://lod.iula.upf.edu). The center includes a Catalog of NLP resources & tools which aims to promote the use of language technology to researches of Humanities and Social Sciences. Though the original data set followed the XML/XSD schema, this was rewritten in accordance to the LOD approach in order to maximize the information contained in our repositories and to be able to enrich the data there.
We will addresses some critical aspects when RDFying XSD/XML data focusing on the strategy followed when mapping controlled vocabularies expressed in XML enumerations; when dealing with certain unstructured data (those where input strings may generate relevant instances); and when addressing identity resolution and linking tasks once the eventual instances are RDFied. Here we will also report on data cleansing, a crucial and unavoidable task which we addressed as an incremental process where SPARQL played an important role. We will see that some of the decisions taken depend on the eventual application we have in mind. The requirements of our Catalog (implemented as a web browser) include: displaying data to the user in a comprehensive way; aggregating external data in a sensitive manner and making hidden implicit relations explicit. In addition, the system needs to provide fresh data (regularly updated) in a quick response time.
Finally, we will report on our experiences when addressing data integration and enrichment (via data mashup). We experimented with different strategies (e.g. using external URIS vs caching local data) and faced different problems (time latency, dereferencing external URIS) that may be useful to share.
Google's recent announcement that it will support the use of microformats in their search opens up new possibilities for librarians and library technologists to support the goals of the semantic web; namely to provide better access, reuse and recombinations of library resources and services on the open web. This lightning talk introduces the semantic web and semantic markup technologies.
NISO Virtual Conference: BIBFRAME & Real World Applications of Linked Bibliographic Data
http://www.niso.org/news/events/2016/virtual_conference/jun15_virtualconf/
June 15, 2016
Opening Keynote: Landscape and Current Status of BIBFRAME and Related Initiatives
Currently Experience API (xAPI) mostly focuses on providing “structural” interoperability of xAPI statements via JavaScript Object Notation Language (JSON). Structural interoperability defines the syntax of the data exchange and ensures the data exchanged between systems can be interpreted at the data field level. In comparison, semantic interoperability leverages the structural interoperability of the data exchange, but provides a vocabulary so other systems and consumers can also interpret the data. Analytics produced by xAPI statements would benefit from more consistent and semantic approaches to describing domain-specific verbs, activityTypes, attachments, and extensions. The xAPI specification recommends implementers to adopt community-defined vocabularies, but the only current guidance is to provide very basic, human-readable identifier metadata (e.g., literal string name(display), description). The main objective of the Vocabulary and Semantic Interoperability Working Group (WG) is to research machine-readable, semantic technologies (e.g., RDF, JSON-LD) in order to produce guidance for Communities of Practice (CoPs) on creating, publishing, or managing controlled vocabulary datasets (e.g., verbs). In this session, you will see a brief introduction to modern controlled vocabulary practices and how they can be applied to xAPI to add semantic expressiveness of controlled vocabularies. The progress and resources from the Vocabulary WG (started in April 2015) will also be shared.
TPDL2013 tutorial linked data for digital libraries 2013-10-22jodischneider
Tutorial on Linked Data for Digital Libraries, given by me, Uldis Bojars, and Nuno Lopes in Valletta, Malta at TPDL2013 on 2013-10-22.
http://tpdl2013.upatras.gr/tut-lddl.php
This half-day tutorial is aimed at academics and practitioners interested in creating and using Library Linked Data. Linked Data has been embraced as the way to bring complex information onto the Web, enabling discoverability while maintaining the richness of the original data. This tutorial will offer participants an overview of how digital libraries are already using Linked Data, followed by a more detailed exploration of how to publish, discover and consume Linked Data. The practical part of the tutorial will include hands-on exercises in working with Linked Data and will be based on two main case studies: (1) linked authority data and VIAF; (2) place name information as Linked Data.
For practitioners, this tutorial provides a greater understanding of what Linked Data is, and how to prepare digital library materials for conversion to Linked Data. For researchers, this tutorial updates the state of the art in digital libraries, while remaining accessible to those learning Linked
Data principles for the first time. For library and iSchool instructors, the tutorial provides a valuable introduction to an area of growing interest for information organization curricula. For digital library project managers, this tutorial provides a deeper understanding of the principles of Linked Data, which is needed for bespoke projects that involve data mapping and the reuse of existing metadata models.

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.

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.
"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.
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.
4. Friend of a Friend
Information about:
• Person
• Social Network / Relations
• Groups
5. Friend of a Friend
Information about:
• Person
• Social Network / Relations
• Groups (multiple)
• ... and more ...
6. Richer Info Needed?
• RDF allows us to combine FOAF
with other vocabularies
• XFN, Relations vocabulary, ...
7. Richer Info Needed?
• RDF allows us to combine FOAF
with other vocabularies
• XFN, Relations vocabulary, ...
RDF = Information, Concentrated
8. Richer Info Needed?
• An example - Morten’s FOAF profile:
http://www.wasab.dk/morten/blog/archives/author/mortenf/
9. Social Network
Portability
Components (data):
• A way to identify a person (across sites)
- privacy
• A way to describe a social network
- relations between people
11. Social Network
Portability
Components (tools):
• Tools / Services (do the actual “magic”)
• Data providers
- opening up social media sites
• Data users / consumers
12. Workflow
1. Parse FOAF data (from Site A)
2. Extract a list of friends and
some data for identifying them
3. Compare this identifying data with
a registry of users on Site B,
report matching users
13. Parsing FOAF data?
Python:
import RDF
# using Redland Python bindings (librdf.org)
m = RDF.Model()
m.load('http://danbri.org/foaf.rdf')
15. Case Study: LiveJournal
• Data about a person (FOAF) - ✓
• Social network (FOAF) - ✓
• Identifying information ...
Difficulty: this data (foaf:mbox_sha1sum)
is spread across friends’ profiles.
Must be collected together before use.
16. Distributed Social
Information
• What about using Flickr, Twitter, ... account
URLs as identifyers?
- Identifying properties are only useful if
other sites also knows this data
- Entering all the URLs again and again?!
• Describe these accounts once
- Applications can get this info from your
homepage (e.g., described in FOAF)
18. Open Questions
• Who owns this information?
• You should have ability to backup and
reuse your social network info
(you own the data!)
• Privacy
• ... ... ...
