Managing Tacit And Explicit Knowledge Ratnakarsharmaratnakar_sharma
Knowledge Management is an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, managing and sharing an organization\'s information assets like documents, database, other repositories and employee\'s expertise. It is a conscious strategy of getting the right knowledge to the right people at the right time so they can make the right decisions.
Effective management of knowledge is important because knowledge can create commercial value only when it is put into action. Knowledge is fortunately a process that can be nurtured in organizations.
This presentation explains Tacit and Explicit, the two forms, the knowledge comes from in.
Tacit knowledge is hard to communicate but can be shared in discussions, storytelling, and personal interactions. This presentation points out a wide variety of tools, methods, and approaches that help surface it.

ELPUB 2018 Feminist Open Science workshopLeslie Chan
This was the slides for the workshop on Feminist Open Science presented at ELPUB2018 in Toronto. Notes for the session is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zr51nZ4VRjVNLixeRc_4SPa-liSALADLTbJ1RUJYcpo/edit
"This workshop will centre on how current discourse around Open Science has tended to focus on the creation of new technological platforms and tools to facilitate sharing and reuse of a wide range of research outputs, but has largely avoided tackling many important issues related to inclusion of a diversity of perspectives in science. We believe a feminist perspective can help to surface these issues, particularly with regard to the need for inclusive infrastructure, which are especially important as Open Science increasingly becomes part of government agendas and policies. We expect that researchers, practitioners and policy makers interested in Open Science will benefit from this workshop to think about issues of inclusivity in Open Science that are not receiving sufficient attention. We expect participants who attend this workshop will gain awareness about relevant resources and work that has been done by feminist technoscience scholars to expand the perspectives of Open Science. We hope that participants will take away new possibilities for their work that they may not have considered before. For policy makers, this workshop will be particularly relevant to help think about how evidence for Open Science should be assessed from a more feminist inclusive standpoint. The workshop will also present results from a two-day workshop on Feminist Open Science that will take place prior to the ELPUB workshop, with the intent of soliciting feedback and collaboration."

Research into Practice case study 2: Library linked data implementations an...Hazel Hall
The research underlying this presentation explored the role that libraries play in the linked data context. Focusing on European national libraries and Scottish libraries, multiple data gathering methods and constant comparative analysis were applied in the study. Amongst the findings, a general lack of awareness within the library community of the Semantic Web and the implications of linked data was identified. At the same time, there is recognition that linked data augments the discoverability and enhances the interoperability of library data. The presentation will include recommendations for the application of the findings of this research in practice.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

42. Creating Community
• Communities are public-facing
spaces that present data,
information, and subject matter
knowledge about a single topic
from many organizations in one
place
– The topics for communities can be
chosen based on priorities from the
public, departments based on their
mission, or issues of national
importance
42
43. Creating a Shared Vision
• These questions help to guide early discussions
1. Vision: What will the community connection and collaboration
look like in the future?
2. Leaders: Who will help to lead the community?
3. Participants: Who will participate?
4. Outcome: What are the expected outcomes, metrics, and
measurements that will show success? How will this
community work to improve the lives of citizens?
5. Functionality: What types of activities will be conducted on the
site (forums, blogs, wikis, ranking, rating, challenges, or apps)?
6. Content: What content should be displayed
7. Interactivity: What ways will the community interact with the
leaders, with each other, and with the public?
