The document discusses the potential and challenges of the Semantic Web and Wikipedia's role in it. It notes that while the Semantic Web enables linking and reasoning over distributed data, it lacks context and can oversimplify complex real-world concepts. The Semantic Web may make unjustified conclusions or discriminations if exceptions, context, and uncertainties are not properly represented in the data. Wikipedia's data could have significant impact on the Semantic Web but also bears responsibility for how that data is used and understood.

Linked data for knowledge curation in humanities researchEnrico Daga
The identification and cataloguing of documentary evidence is an important part of empirical research in the humanities.
An increasing number of recent initiatives in the digital humanities have as a primary objective the curation of collections of digital artefacts augmented with fine-grained metadata, for example, mentioning the entities and their relations, often adopting the "Linked Data" paradigm. This talk is focused on exploring the potential of Linked Data to support humanities scholars in identifying, collecting, and curating documentary evidence. First, I will introduce the basic notions around Linked Data and place its emergence in the tradition of Knowledge Representation, an area of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Second, I will show how Linked Data and AI techniques have been successfully applied in the Listening Experience Database project to support the retrieval and curation of documentary evidence. Finally, I will conclude the presentation by discussing the potential (and challenges) of adopting a "knowledge extraction" paradigm to automate the identification and cataloguing of metadata about documentary evidence in texts.
From Hyperlinks to Semantic Web Properties using Open Knowledge ExtractionSTLab
The vision of the Semantic Web is to populate the web with machine understandable information so that artificial intelligences (AI) can use it as background knowledge for assisting humans in performing a significant number of their daily tasks. Research in this field produced a standardised knowledge representation format (namely, linked data) and huge amount of machine-readable data available on the web (namely, the web of data), mostly derived from structured data (typically databases) or semi-structured data (e.g. Wikipedia infoboxes). However, most of the web consists of natural language text containing valuable knowledge for enriching the web of data. Hence, a main challenge is to extract as much relevant knowledge as possible from this content, and publish them in the form of linked data. Open Information Extraction (OIE) has been developed recently as an approach to extract information from unstructured data, mostly of a textual nature.
However, the information extracted is typically in the form of triples of strings (subject, relational phrase, object). OIE approaches are useful but insufficient alone for populating the web with machine readable information as their results are not directly linkable to, and immediately reusable from, other linked data sources. In this seminar, after giving a brief introduction to background concepts and notions, I will describe a work that proposes a novel Open Knowledge Extraction approach that performs unsupervised, open domain, and abstractive knowledge extraction from text for producing directly usable machine readable information. In particular I will discuss an approach based on the hypothesis that hyperlinks (either created by humans or knowledge extraction tools) provide a pragmatic trace of such semantic relations between two entities, and that such semantic relations, their subjects and objects, can be revealed by processing their linguistic traces (i.e. the sentences that embed the hyperlinks) and formalised as linked data and ontology axioms. Experimental evaluations conducted with the help of crowdsourcing confirm this hypothesis showing very high performances.

Using social media for medical purposes offers great advantages but also comes with great responsibility.
At Webicina.com, we receive thousands of suggestions week by week about which social media channels should be added to our database and many times we have to provide authors with the same suggestions in order to improve the quality of their resources.
Therefore we thought we should come up with a list of tips and pieces of advice about improving a medical social media channel.

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!

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.

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.

THEN you have a problem
33. Not our problem?
Ẁikipedia is already used as
●
source by millions of people
People can think, judge and ask,
●
computers cannot
We create definitions that will be used in
●
thousands of applications
Statistics lie
●
Aggragation/resoning even lies better
34. Possible Solutions
More of all (data, aggregation, reasoning)
●
Less of all
●
Statements about statements
●
Fuzzy logic
●
Data provenance / data lineage
●
Allow exceptions
●
Teach people to be careful
●
Do not expect or believe simple answers
●
It’s just dirty data
●
35. Summary
Semantic Web is great
●
Reality is based on exceptions
●
Simplification is useful but dangerous
●
Data POV != NPOV
●
We also bear responsability for
●
stupid use of Wikipedia data
Never stop analyzing and thinking
●
instead of relying on computers
