Introduction to the workshop Services to support FAIR data - Sarah Jones

OpenAIRE

The document summarizes a series of three workshops aimed at discussing services to support FAIR data. The first workshop took place in Prague on April 12, 2019 and focused on service providers and research infrastructures. The second workshop was in Vienna on April 24, 2019 and targeted research support staff and researchers. The third workshop will be in Porto on September 17, 2019 for service users and providers. The workshops seek to explore existing services and gaps to better support FAIR data practices and interoperability between services and infrastructures. A white paper on recommendations will be produced for the EOSC working group on FAIR.

Workshop 1 amy pollard

Policy Lab

Public dialogue is a process that brings together members of the public, policymakers, and experts to discuss important issues in depth. It aims to highlight social, ethical, and practical issues related to upcoming policies and make more robust decisions that reflect public values. Extensive public engagement upfront can help prevent costs from spiraling out of control for complex, controversial decisions. Public dialogue in practice involves bringing all stakeholders together with independent facilitators and clear expectations around public influence, to have an informed discussion over multiple meetings. It can open policy areas, deliver cost savings, increase responsiveness and accountability, and support behavior change.

Sparc Funders Publishers Workshop 071015

Philip Bourne

Academia lacks incentives for open data and software while industry has incentives, and a lack of infrastructure makes data not findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. Funders' intent is unclear regarding responsibilities, ethics, ownership and security, but funders and publishers can address these impediments by establishing simple, harmonious guidelines for openness; compliance modes; uniform data and software citation; end-to-end infrastructures with awards; shared responsibility for infrastructure; and standards agreements. Current exemplars provide guidelines, metrics, policies, resources, projects, participatory approaches, and government programs.

Workshop 3 paula lovitt

Policy Lab

This document discusses digital policy-making strategies used by the Labour Market Directorate at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. It describes how digital tools are used for both engagement and listening. Engagement includes publicizing consultations and announcements online and on social media to reach wider audiences. Listening involves tracking industry blogs and public sentiment. A case study of an employment law blog highlights tips for regular posting and promotion. A consultation on zero-hours contracts received over 38,000 responses, the most in BIS history, after stakeholder groups shared the online survey link. The future may require faster responses to digital feedback and reevaluating how open policy-making inputs are analyzed and valued.

State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal. We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia. More information about the conference can be found on: http://stateofthemap.asia.

This document summarizes a presentation about empowering people through open knowledge. It discusses how open data and open knowledge can be used by anyone to solve problems when information is made accessible, understandable and meaningful. Open data comes from many sources like government, companies and individuals and can be in many formats. The Open Knowledge Foundation builds tools to work with information, helps people learn data skills, and connects organizations working on open data projects. Open knowledge empowers people but also requires tools, communities and skills to access and use data effectively. Personal data also generates important open datasets when anonymized and aggregated but personal information requires careful consideration regarding privacy and control.

Semantic Computing Executive Briefing

Graeme Wood

The document discusses semantic computing and its benefits. It provides an agenda for introducing semantic software, IoT/big data, and semantic computing concepts. Semantic computing transforms unstructured data into structured triples that can be queried using ontologies to add context and meaning. It discusses how semantic computing supports applications in various domains like finance, government, and healthcare by integrating diverse data sources and enabling expanded analytics. The US Navy case study shows how semantic computing helped the Navy reduce energy costs.

Research Data Alliance

RDA provides a neutral space for researchers to develop standards and share data across disciplines through working groups and interest groups. It focuses on developing interoperability through deliverables like registries and identifiers. While it doesn't define architecture, it aims to foster connections and provide unity. RDA also takes a "glocal" approach, implementing standards locally while addressing global issues. Friction in collaboration is inevitable but necessary for progress, and RDA provides a place for discussions to work through differences.

How to write a data management plan

OpenExeter

The document provides guidance on writing a data management plan (DMP). It explains that DMPs are now required by many funders to accompany grant applications. A DMP outlines how research data will be managed and shared during and after a project. It should address issues like the type of data being collected, documentation, storage and backup plans, data sharing and reuse, legal and ethical concerns, and long-term preservation. Writing a DMP helps ensure good data management practices and that a project is compliant with funder policies supporting open access to research data.

The future of FAIR

Sarah Jones

This document discusses the FAIR data principles and increasing adoption of FAIR. It begins by explaining the 15 FAIR principles for findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable data. It then discusses how adoption is increasing through funder requirements, the role of FAIR within EOSC, and related projects. However, it notes that most data is still not managed or shared according to FAIR principles due to barriers like time and effort required as well as lack of incentives and rewards. The document argues that both cultural and technical aspects must be addressed to fully implement FAIR.

This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies. In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters

Safe Software

Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they? Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality. You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe

Precisely

Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market. Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots

Pablo Gómez Abajo

Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots. To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Apps Break Data

Ivo Velitchkov

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?
