Jola G.B. Prinsen - Implementing a cloud-based library management and search ...jprinsen
In the summer of 2011, Tilburg University’s Library & IT Services decided to replace their current integrated library system with OCLC’s cloud-based WorldShare Management Services (WMS) system. Their current end-user environment (in-house developed) was to be replaced by OCLC’s WorldCat Local (WCL). WMS and WCL were planned to go live on June 1, 2012. Tilburg University would be the first Dutch and European university to go live with WMS.
After describing the reasons for Tilburg University to select these systems, Jola Prinsen will present the university’s business case for this project (what the project aims to achieve) and the steps which were taken so far. The first stage of the project aimed at analyzing the current workflows at Tilburg University’s library and determining whether these workflows were supported by the new WMS/WCL systems. On the basis of the resulting gap and impact analyses, in March 2012 the project board decided to go live with WCL in the summer of 2012. The analysis phase for WMS was extended. This latter system is now expected to go live in January 2013.
Jola’s focus will not be on WMS’ and WCL’s functionality, but rather on the practice and challenges of implementing a (cloud-based) library management and search system. She will pay attention to what went well so far and what didn’t. Issues she will address, include the project organization, loading of metadata, linking to full-text, phasing out local systems, staff training, and communication to end-users.
Libraries around the world have a long tradition of maintaining authority files to assure the consistent presentation and indexing of names. As library authority files have become available online, the authority data has become accessible -- and many have been published as Linked Open Data (LOD) -- but names in one library authority file typically had no link to corresponding records for persons and organizations in other library authority files. After a successful experiment in matching the Library of Congress/NACO authority file with the German National Library's authority file, an online system called the Virtual International Authority File was developed to facilitate sharing by ingesting, matching, and displaying the relations between records in multiple authority files.
The Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) has grown from three source files in 2007 to more than two dozen files today. The system harvests authority records, enhances them with bibliographic information and brings them together into clusters when it is confident the records describe the same identity. Although the most visible part of VIAF is a HTML interface, the API beneath it supports a linked data view of VIAF with URIs representing the identities themselves, not just URIs for the clusters. It supports names for person, corporations, geographic entities, works, and expressions. With English, French, German, Spanish interfaces (and a Japanese in process), the system is used around the world, with over a million queries per day.
Speaker
Thomas Hickey is Chief Scientist at OCLC where he helped found OCLC Research. Current interests include metadata creation and editing systems, authority control, parallel systems for bibliographic processing, and information retrieval and display. In addition to implementing VIAF, his group looks into exploring Web access to metadata, identification of FRBR works and expressions in WorldCat, the algorithmic creation of authorities, and the characterization of collections. He has an undergraduate degree in Physics and a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

2. About LODLAM
• #lodlam teaser: http://youtu.be/YdrVI7emnt4
• Using WWW standards to explore data interoperability not only between
institutions but with the Web community and end users as well.
• The last few years have seen a major cultural shift on the whole, but in
institutions, addressing changing expectations from audiences,
curators, & technologists
• This amounts to an enormous opportunity for libraries, archives, &
museums, and for the semantic web community as well.
3. LODLAM is a Growing Movement
• in its infancy, but picking up steam
• it requires experimentation
• small, niche, domain-specific implementations
• use cases, reasons for content providers to get excited about contributing
4. Cross Pollination & Translation
• More opportunities than ever to cross borders of academics,
programmers, museum professionals, archivists, librarians, technologists,
etc.
• www.thatcamp.org #thatcamp
• Many similar concepts between Library & Information Sciences types and
Linked Data/Semantic Web developers

5. LODLAM is a product of our increasingly
connected culture.
• it’s an unfolding story, but it’s awn...
• first funded projects in the US exploring Linked Open Data in the
humanities now underway: http://lod-lam.net
• 100 people gathered from around the world June 2-3 to forward
LODLAM in the next year, thanks to generous funding from:
6. LOD-LAM Summit: over 85 organizations
• First of it’s kind meeting
• Bridging sciences and humanities to focus on moving Linked Open Data
forward in public & academic libraries, archives & museums world wide in
the next year.
• Libraries like: Library of Congress, French & German National libraries,
NYPL, Open Library, state libraries across the country
• Archives like: the National Archives of US and UK, California Digital Library
• Museums like: The Met, SFMOMA, Powerhouse, Smithsonian
7. LODLAM Summit Outcomes
• Outreach, Education, Evangelization
• Making sense of copyright, licensing, publishing options, setting precedent
• Developing collaborative use cases
9. Expose yourself, be vulnerable
• This is the major cultural shift, the tide rising amongst institutions, that data
wants to be free in a culture economy.
• There is value in sharing
• It does require a leap of faith, but risks and rewards should be carefully
considered and calculated
• Excellent resource: JISC Open Bibliographic Data Guide http://
obd.jisc.ac.uk/

11. Metadata vs. data, assets, digital surrogates
• A key conceptual shift with Open Data is looking at metadata and data as
two separate things, that can have different licensing and permissions
12. Examples and precedents
• Bibliographic data:
• British Library (CC0), University of Michigan (CC0), Stanford (CC-BY)
have published large, raw datasets of bibliographic data they have
created (being careful not to publish OCLC or other vendor controlled or
licensed metadata)
13. Examples and precedents
• Civil War Data 150
• Metadata from contributing federal institutions are largely considered
to be Public Domain.
• State, local, university & individual researchers are considering
policies for metadata publishing on a case by case basis.
14. Civil War Data 150 - Linked Data in Scholarship
• consider graph demo: http://civilwardata150.net
• Starts with open data sets from multiple institutions
• Civil War vocabulary, or a way to link and traverse across datasets
• Regiments, battles, Freebase military schema
15. Civil War Data 150 - Linked Data in Scholarship
• Building apps
• How tools like Simile/Exhibit can use Linked Data in coordination with
Freebase (Conflict History: http://conflicthistory.com/#/period/
1861-1865/conflict/+en+american_civil_war)
• Now there’s a reason to publish RDF, etc.
16. What will happen to your data?
• If you want people to do something with your data/metadata, you have to
put it out there
• But once you do, it’s [mostly] out of your control. Yet it can be a part of
something much greater than any of the component parts
• Roots and Wings
17. What will happen to your data?
• working with Open Data from
NOAA at wherecamp 2011. http://
www.nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/
history/CivilWar/
18. Sciences leading the way vs. Humanities
• In the sciences, there have been a lot of advances in the realm of Open
Data, which will provide models for humanities research as well
• Nano Publishing: the idea of publishing datasets separately from
research findings, so that it can more easily be built upon and integrated
into other datasets. Several scientific journals have already started this.
• Federally funded medical research must have a data management plan
and some funders are requiring that data be published separately from
analysis and findings as Open Data
19. Join the LODLAM movement
