- Linked data and data virtualization can help address challenges of growing data heterogeneity, complexity, and need for agility by providing a common data model and identifiers.
- Linked data uses RDF to represent information as graphs of triples connected by URIs, allowing different data sources to be integrated and queried together.
- As more data is published using common vocabularies and linking to existing URIs, it increases opportunities for discovery, integration and novel ways to extract value from diverse data sources.
This presentation provides insights into how Semantic Web Project innovations such as: RDF based Linked Data & FOAF+SSL, address age old challenges that include:1. Identity (people, places, and other things)2. Open Data Access & Integration3. Precision Find (search++).

Linked data for Enterprise Data IntegrationSören Auer
The Web evolves into a Web of Data. In parallel Intranets of large companies will evolve into Data Intranets based on the Linked Data principles. Linked Data has the potential to complement the SOA paradigm with a light-weight, adaptive data integration approach.
Structured Dynamics provides 'ontology-driven applications'. Our product stack is geared to enable the semantic enterprise. The products are premised on preserving and leveraging existing information assets in an incremental, low-risk way. SD's products span from converters to authoring environments to Web services middleware and to eventual ontologies and user interfaces and applications.
This tutorial explains the Data Web vision, some preliminary standards and technologies as well as some tools and technological building blocks developed by AKSW research group from Universität Leipzig.

From Linked Data to Semantic ApplicationsAndre Freitas
In this talk we will discuss how to build (today) semantically intelligent systems, i.e. systems with the ability to process and interpret information by its meaning. We will take a multidisciplinary perspective showing how recent advances in other computer science areas such as Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing can enable, together with Linked Data and Semantic Web resources, the construction of the next generation of information systems. A summary of the core principles and available
resources from these areas will give a concrete understanding on how to jump-start your own semantic system.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.
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.

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.
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.
