ninjs is the IPTC's standard for news in JSON. An overview of the standard as it is today - for representing text, photo, video and audio items - together with our plans for enhancements.
ninjs is IPTC's news in JSON standard. How was the design of ninjs approached? What were the different options which were considered? What is different about designing in JSON versus other formats, such as XML and RDF?
Taking Advantage of XMetaL’s XInclude SupportXMetaL
In XMetaL Author 6.0 we introduced “Support for modular XML documents via W3C XInclude”. Beyond the checkbox on the marketing datasheet, what does this support really mean for partners and customers? As an XMetaL implementer, you can provide your end users with new content reuse capabilities. We take a look at what XMetaL allows, and what you need to do to allow your end users to take advantage of this powerful new feature.

Enabling IoT Devices’ Hardware and Software Interoperability, IPSO Alliance (...Open Mobile Alliance
Presentation delivered during the Internet of Things World, Santa Clara pre-event workshop by Christian Legare - IPSO Alliance Chairman, Chief of Software Engineering, Micrium (Part of Silicon Labs)
Internet Protocol for Smart Objects (IPSO) is an alliance that, among other things, defines a data model to represent sensor values and attributes. OMA uses IPSO Smart Objects v1.0 as its resource model to expose sensor information to a remote LwM2M Server. From the speaker from IPSO Alliance, you will learn:
● What is an IPSO Smart Object data model
● What do these Objects and Resources look like
● How to create and register your own resources
● What is next for IPSO Alliance
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

DrupalGovCon 2016: Consuming Third-party APIs in Drupal - Lessons from USGS.govClinton Herget
Clinton Herget and Bobby Parker from Mobomo shared tips and tricks for integrating third-party content APIs in Drupal, including: pros and cons of content ingestion, use of Feeds and FeedsJSONPath, tradeoffs of Views JSON Query and Remote Entity API, and advantages of using a data middleware layer (such as ElasticSearch) and a reverse proxy cache like Nginx or Varnish to gracefully handle API downtime.
Automating Security and Compliance Testing of Infrastructure-as-Code for DevS...Amazon Web Services
Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) has emerged as an essential element of organizational DevOps practices. Tools such as AWS CloudFormation and Terraform allow software-defined infrastructure to be deployed quickly and repeatably to AWS. But the agility of CI/CD pipelines also creates new challenges in infrastructure security hardening. How do you ensure that your CloudFormation templates meet your organization's security, compliance, and governance needs before you deploy them? How do you deploy infrastructure securely to production environments, and monitor the security posture on a continuous basis? And how do you do this repeatedly without hitting a speed bump? This session provides a foundation for how to bring proven software hardening practices into the world of infrastructure deployment. We discuss how to build security and compliance tests for infrastructure analogous to unit tests for application code, and showcase how security, compliance and governance testing fit in a modern CI/CD pipeline.

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.
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.
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.
