OOR Architecture - Towards a Network of Linked Ontology RepositoriesKim Viljanen
(Presented at the OOR Conference Call on Friday 19th November 2010.)
We propose a distributed OOR architecture consisting of simple APIs, ontology repository implementations conforming to these APIs and a registry of these repositories. Together these components create an OOR network that can be used to build services utilizing content from different ontology repositories. The approach is based on an observation that there are different kinds of use cases, ontologies, ontology service providers, etc., and therefore it may not be possible to implement a single OOR server that addresses all possible needs. We suggest that the OOR initiative should focus on APIs and enabling an ecosystem of ontology repositories, not on doing everything by ourselves. Test suites and baseline implementations for APIs are needed for validating API implementations on different ontology repositories and testing the APIs.
A proposal to adopt an approach inspired by rightsstatements.org:
1. Create a set of rights statements specific to news and media
2. Host the rights statements using the IPTC CV server
3. Create an editorial process for adding new rights statements
4. Document how to use the rights statements – and maybe even implement an evaluation engine with explanations
5. Document how to mix in custom statements with IPTC ones

Rights expression for the news industry, using RightsML and ODRL. Updates on the RightsML Experimental Phase, discussion of embedding sophisticated rights expression in binaries, the LCC/RDI EC project and a lookahead to the IPTC Spring meeting.
The proliferation of data from new data sources has generated greater demand for technologies that can handle and harvest value from unstructured data. Postgres is leading the movement of integrating unstructured data with the relational environment.
Postgres first added JSON and then enhanced it with new data types, functions and operators in recent releases. Now in beta is the JSONB “binary JSON” type. These advances follow the longstanding HStore data type added in 2006 to support key/value stores in Postgres. Now Postgres users can learn how to harness these capabilities to master unstructured data challenges with Postgres.
The presentation also covers:
* An overview of JSON data types and operators
* Examples of SELECT, UPDATE, etc
* An examination of performance considerations

Redfish is an IPMI replacement standardized by the DMTF. It provides a RESTful API for server out of band management and a lightweight data model specification that is scalable, discoverable and extensible. (Cf: http://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish). This presentation will start by detailing its role and the features it provides with examples. It will demonstrate the benefits it provides to system administrator by providing a standardized open interface for multiple servers, and also storage systems.
We will then cover various tools such as the DMTF ones and the python-redfish library (Cf: https://github.com/openstack/python-redfish) offering Redfish abstractions.
Metadata for web ontologies and rules: current practices and perspectivesCarlos Tejo-Alonso
The Semantic Web contains a number of dierent knowledge artifacts, including OWL ontologies, RIF rule sets and RDF datasets. Efective exchange and management of these artifacts demand the use of metadata and prompt availability of accurate reference documentation. In this paper, we analyze the current practices in metadata usage for OWL ontologies, and we propose a vocabulary for annotating RIF rules. We also introduce a software tool {Parrot{ that exploits these annotations and produces reference documentation for combinations of ontologies and rules.

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.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
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.
