This document discusses the convergence of social networks and semantic web technologies like FOAF, OpenID, and OAuth. It provides a brief history of semantic web projects and social networking sites. It then explains how standards like FOAF, OpenID, and OAuth allow for decentralized social applications and a unified social graph by describing identities, connections between people, and permissions for sharing data across sites. The document suggests the emerging social web will focus more on groups than individuals and leverage evidence-based friend lists identified by OpenID and described by FOAF across multiple sites using OAuth.
Web 3.0 explained with a stamp (pt I: the basics)Freek Bijl
What really means web 3.0, or: the semantic web? With this presentation I explain the meaning of web 3.0 by an example of a stamp collection. This presentation is a translation of a Dutch version made earlier. For more detailed information in Dutch you can have a look at BijlBrand.nl
Beacon, GRDDL, and Twine... oh my!! Sometimes it is hard to keep track of all the new technology on the web. Which are the ones worth paying attention to? Let's take a look into how the web evolves and where we've came from. (Finally, a field where "evolution" and "intelligent design" can play nice.) We'll dive deep into some of the upcoming trends poised to change the web as we know it.

This talk introduces the concepts of web 3.0 technology and how they relate to related technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Grid Computing and the Semantic Web:
• A short history of web technologies:
o Web 1.0: Publishing static information with links for human consumption.
o Web 2.0: Publishing dynamic information created by users, for human consumption.
o Web 3.0: Publishing all kinds of information with links between data items, for machine consumption.
• Standardization of protocols for description of any type of data (RDF, N3, Turtle).
• Standardization of protocols for the consumption of data in “the grid” (SPARQL).
• Standardization of protocols for rules (RIF).
• Comparison with the evolution of technologies related to data bases.
• Comparison of IoT solutions based on web 2.0 and web 3.0 technologies.
• Distributed solutions vs centralized solutions..
• Security
• Extensions of Peer-to-peer protocols (XMPP).
• Advantages of solutions based on web 3.0 and standards (IETF, XSF).
Duration of talk: 1-2 hours with questions.
The Semantic Web is an evolving development of the World Wide Web in which the word semantic stands for the meaning of. The semantic of something is the meaning of something. The Semantic Web or Web 2.0 or Web3.0 is a “Web of data” that enables machines to understand the semantics or meaning. Of information on the World Wide Web. It extends the network of hyperlinked human-readable web pages by inserting machine-readable metadata about pages and how they are related to each other. Enabling automated agents to access the Web more intelligently and perform tasks on behalf of users. The term was coined by Tim Beemers-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web and director of the World Wide Web Consortium. Which oversees the development of the proposal Semantic Web standards? He defines the Semantic Web as “a web of data that can be processed directly and
indirectly by machines.”
Web 1.0 was an early stage evolution focused on how users could connect to the web through the user interface. Web 2.0 emerged around 2004 and focused mainly on interactivity and collaboration through social media; it too has peaked.
Through the evolution of smart phones and the ongoing improvement of technology, Web 3.0 offers more solutions for browsing and enables consumers to browse application data from anywhere in the world.
Hassan Bawab will share how Web 3.0 started as merely a trend but is quickly becoming the standard.
Capitalizing on Web 3.0 requires providing a mobile experience to end-users. It also means more effective communication and ease of reach. Implementing a Web 3.0 strategy can ultimately lead to improved intelligence and customer engagement for organizations in any industry.

Walking Our Way to the Web - Fabien Gandon
The Web: Scientific Creativity, Technological Innovation and Society
XXVIII Conference on Contemporary Philosophy and Methodology of Science
9 and 10 March 2023
University of A Coruña
The prospect of Walking our Way to the Web may sound strange to contemporary readers of this article for whom the Web is omnipresent. However, the slogan of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been, for years, and remains today, to lead “the Web to its full potential” meaning we haven’t reached that potential yet, whatever it is. The first architect of the Web himself, Tim Berners-Lee, said in an interview in 2009: “The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past”. And he is still very active, together with the W3C members and Web experts world-wide, in proposing evolutions of the Web architecture to improve its growing usages and applications. In this article we will review the path that led us to the actual Web, the shape it is taking now and the possible evolutions, good and bad, we can identify today. This will lead us to consider the distance that we witness between the initial vision and the reality of the Web today, and to reflect on the possible divergence between the potential we see in the Web and the directions it could take. Our goal in this article is to reflect on how we could walk the delicate path to the full potential of the Web, finding the missing links and avoiding the one too many links.
This slide deck has been prepared for a workshop on Linked Data Publishing and Semantic Processing using the Redlink platform (http://redlink.co). The workshop delivered at the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics at Università degli Studi dell'Aquila aimed at providing a general understanding of Semantic Web Technologies and how these can be used in real world use cases such as Salzburgerland Tourismus.
A brief introduction has been also included on MICO (Media in Context) a European Union part-funded research project to provide cross-media analysis solutions for online multimedia producers.
Journey of world wide web across its various phases and how we could achieve the web that we have at present. Also an insight into the current and future trends in world wide web and Internet.
"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."

A talk about the gap between theory and practice with W3C Semantic Web and Dublin Core standards, and how the DC Tools Community can help collectively reduce the cost of that gap.
Given as part of the DC Tools Community workshop at LIDA2009 in Zadar, Croatia.
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 :)

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Enhancing Performance with Globus and the Science DMZGlobus

In this talk we will present a summary of approaches and tips for getting the most out of your network infrastructure using Globus Connect Server.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

13. FOAF is a project about sharing information in the Web.
It's about ways of describing things using computers,
so that those descriptions can be linked together,
mixed up with other data, and searched.
Friend of a Friend
People, groups, accounts, photos, IM, life on the Web.
Machine-readable pages, de-centralised, freely extensible.
14. Everyone’s connected? Don’t say it, show it:
...the evidence friendship leaves in the world and Web
Work. Fun. Beer. Travel. Writings. Events. Music. Photos. Life.
“Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.”- Harvey Pekar
23. Oracle
“Oracle Spatial 11g introduces the industry's first open, scalable, secure and reliable RDF management
platform. Based on a graph data model, RDF triples are persisted, indexed and queried, similar to other
object-relational data types.
Application areas include Social Network Applications, Friend of a Friend applications, social network
tracking and navigation common in security and intelligence applications”
(competing with e.g. OpenLink and numerous opensource systems)
24. FOAF/XFN in Google Social Graph API:
'The Social Graph API makes information
about the public connections between
people on the web more easily available.'
Based on open standards ... Google “currently indexes the public Web for
XHTML Friends Network (XFN), Friend of a Friend (FOAF) markup and
other publicly declared connections. By supporting open Web standards for
describing connections between people, web sites can add to the social
infrastructure of the web.”
25. FOAF/RDFa in Yahoo search
Without a killer semantic web
app for consumers, site owners
have been reluctant to support
standards like RDF, or even
microformats. We believe that
app can be web search.
...we plan to support vocabulary
from Dublin Core, Creative
Commons, FOAF, GeoRSS,
MediaRSS, and others. ... we will
support RDFa and eRDF markup
to embed these into existing
HTML pages
27. OpenID & OAuth
Wired: “Taken together, OpenID and
OAuth establish an open, reusable
means of turning the whole web into
your own personal social network.”
Sign-in with a URL
Identify buddies with URLs
Inter-site data permissioning system
Richer infrastructure for cross-site integration
28. What can we do today?
Migrate profiles between sites
Use OpenID to label source of claims
Use FOAF & Microformats to describe owner of OpenID
Use Google SG API to find old friends on new sites
Navigate unified ‘Social Graph’ with alternate UI
29. User experience impact?
OpenID is a learning experience...
Reduce email-based “add a friend” noise
Less work to enter and enjoy a new ‘social’ site
User education needed re privacy exposure
More focussed, specialist sites (travel, music, food, tv, events)
30. Greater than sum of parts?
OpenID gives Identity not Trust
FOAF/RDF gives claim-based description, not Trust
Linked data approach allows Trust to flow
If you are sure about ‘danbri.org’, and
danbri.org claims same owner as
danbri.livejournal.com, ... you have a basis
for believing claims from the latter.
(Google SGAPI does just this)
31. What can we expect tommorrow?
Focus moving from individuals to groups:
super-connectors will link sites
communities will spread across sites
Evidence-based friend lists: Identified by OpenID.
