Connected heritage: How should Cultural Institutions Open and Connect Data?
Keynote for the International Digital Culture Forum 2017, Taichung, Taiwan, August 2017
I approach the question by describing the mechanisms organisations have used to open and connect data, then I look at some of the positive outcomes that resulted from their actions. This is not a technical talk about different acronyms, it's about connecting people to our shared heritage.

User contributions have the potential to enrich WorldCat in several ways:
1) Over 160,000 user-created lists are already in WorldCat, allowing sharing of citations and recommendations.
2) User feedback like corrections, added content, and ratings can help improve WorldCat's quality and coverage.
3) Linking user contributions to related professional and external data could provide a more comprehensive view of identities, works, and topics in WorldCat.
However, challenges remain in encouraging contributions at scale while maintaining data quality, integrating social metadata with existing systems, and addressing users' reluctance to engage in some activities like ratings.

Linked Data for Law Libraries: An Introduction
This document summarizes Emily Dust Nimsakont's presentation on linked data for law libraries. She began by defining linked data and its key aspects, such as using URIs to identify things and linking data from different sources to connect and query it. She explained the principles of linked data using RDF graphs and triples. Nimsakont discussed benefits of linked data for libraries, such as new ways of searching and applications using structured data. For law libraries specifically, linked data can help address challenges of heterogeneous and changing legal information. She provided examples of existing linked open data sources and encouraged libraries to publish data following linked data best practices.

The document discusses trends in library technologies from an international perspective. It describes the emergence of a new generation of library services platforms that have a different scope and architecture than traditional integrated library systems. These new platforms aim to provide comprehensive management of print, electronic, and digital materials. The document also discusses the transition to cloud-based library systems and the importance of open APIs and interoperability.Okfn 30.06.2011
- Europeana is a digital library that provides single access to European cultural heritage from over 1500 institutions, containing over 19 million items. It uses open licenses like CC-BY-NC and CC0 to make this content freely available.
- Open licensing benefits users, cultural institutions, and politicians by improving access, visibility, education, and economic growth. However, some institutions fear loss of control, income, reputation, and branding.
- Europeana conducted workshops and consultations on the risks and rewards of open licensing. Based on this, it will transition metadata to CC0 to allow maximum reuse while institutions can still commercially exploit their own metadata. This will enrich data and better connect cultural heritage online.

Coherence in Agricultural Information Systems
The document discusses the need for greater coherence and interoperability across agricultural information systems. It proposes the establishment of an Alliance for Coherence in Agricultural Information Systems to facilitate the coherent use of standards and tools across distributed databases and information services. The Alliance would register common standards, documentation systems, and act as a clearinghouse to agree on standards and procedures to improve connectivity between agricultural information resources on the web. Next steps proposed include further work on developing common profiles and standards, piloting a shared events calendar, establishing the legal framework and governance structure for the Alliance, and continued advocacy and outreach.

Workshops and consultations were held with cultural institutions on risks and rewards of open licensing. As a result, Europeana will apply the CC0 public domain dedication to metadata from July 2012 onward to promote wider reuse. Pilot projects showed this caused no issues and unlocked social and commercial value from the open data.

The document discusses various Web 2.0 tools like social networking sites, wikis, RSS feeds, and media sharing sites and their implications for libraries. It encourages libraries to embrace these new technologies and allow users to collaboratively share and generate knowledge using the library's online spaces. Some specific Web 2.0 tools highlighted include wikis for knowledge sharing among library staff and patrons, Twitter for news and event monitoring, Flickr and YouTube for media sharing, and SlideShare for sharing presentations. The document argues that libraries must actively engage with these new technologies and platforms or risk being left out of important conversations.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
