SharePoint Saturday Albany 2014 - The Fantastic 4 of Communication and Collab...Vlad Catrinescu
This session discusses the various ways Lync, Exchange, SharePoint and Office Web Apps can become better with regard to communication and collaboration by being joined together. We will do a non-technical overview of features such as Skill Search, Site Mailbox, Task Synchronization and more that are only made possible by them working together as well as see how they can boost productivity in a real life scenario.
Need to know more about getting the best value from the investment in your website?
A Web Strategy is a vision that clearly articulates how you use the web to help achieve or exceed your organisation’s online objectives. It provides a measurable plan of attack that is specifically tuned to your needs. In this briefing we will outline the core components of a Web Strategy, what the difference having one makes and how you can get one.
Need to know how to leverage the Microsoft SharePoint platform for your website?
Microsoft’s SharePoint is leading the way for internal employee collaboration and communication. However it is also a great platform for your website. Also in this briefing you will hear more about and see examples of Microsoft SharePoint being used for websites.

The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers - Heather Hedden.pdfEnterprise Knowledge
Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers” at a webinar hosted by Progress Semaphore on April 16, 2024.
Taxonomies at their core enable effective tagging and retrieval of content, and combined with ontologies they extend to the management and understanding of related data. There are even greater benefits of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance your enterprise information architecture when applying them to a semantic layer. A survey by DBP-Institute found that enterprises using a semantic layer see their business outcomes improve by four times, while reducing their data and analytics costs. Extending taxonomies to a semantic layer can be a game-changing solution, allowing you to connect information silos, alleviate knowledge gaps, and derive new insights.
Hedden, who specializes in taxonomy design and implementation, presented how the value of taxonomies shouldn’t reside in silos but be integrated with ontologies into a semantic layer.
Learn about:
- The essence and purpose of taxonomies and ontologies in information and knowledge management;
- Advantages of semantic layers leveraging organizational taxonomies; and
- Components and approaches to creating a semantic layer, including the integration of taxonomies and ontologies
Get a practical, hands-on review of the new managed metadata services for managing taxonomies, folksonomies, tags, metadata and content types in SharePoint 2010.

Understanding the Culture of Collaboration in your OrganizationChristian Buckley
Presented at Commsverse 2022
When looking at the collaboration culture within your organization, there are three areas where you can focus: people, process, and technology. The number one mistake that organizations make is that we typically focus most of our time and attention on technology...and the least on people. In this session, we'll tackle the various collaboration "profiles" in modern work, and how we can better leverage our technology to drive better people outcomes.

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.

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.

57. “Metadata provides context for data. Metadata is used to facilitate the understanding, characteristics, and management usage of data. The metadata required for effective data management varies with the type of data and context of use.” ~Wikipedia.org
60. Asset Type Company Asset Number Color code (by department) Barcode Tracking Number
61. The role of metadata Metadata is the lifeblood of SharePoint Taxonomy and metadata drive the tools and processes that make the world go round Metadata powers search, it powers social media, and it powers SharePoint
62. End Users Search Social Media Governance Taxonomy Ad Hoc Metadata
67. Authors don’t apply metadata= “shotgun” approach to search OR Authors apply metadata without common classification = better search, but worse authoring experience
72. The islands of information have been moved to SharePoint. And? You can’t find anything You can’t tell who owns what You can’t tell what’s new, what’s old, or what has changed It’s all disconnected Why SharePoint Needs METADATA STRATEGY
74. In Biology, taxonomyis the science dealing with the description, identification, naming, andclassificationof organisms. “however, the term is now applied in a wider, more general sense and now may refer to a classification of things, as well as to the principles underlying such a classification.” ~Wikipedia.org
80. Authors don’t apply metadata= “shotgun” approach to search OR Authors apply metadata without common classification = better search, but worse authoring experience
84. What is your broader strategy for tagging, metadata and taxonomy? Map out your high level taxonomy (web applications and site collections) and schemas (Content Types) Understand your current-state and future-state plans, and how they relate to your metadata
86. THE ROLE OF SERVICES SharePoint 2010 offers many services OOTB Search Excel Services BCS Project Server Web Analytics Access Performance Point Visio Word Office Web Apps People These centrally managed services allow for greater control across the enterprise Have your cake and eat it through centrally managed services
87. What is Behind Managed Metadata It is a service application created by a Farm Administrator It is added to a farm’s default list You can also create a content type hub, which is a URL to a site collection
88. It’s basically a definition of an artifact that can be stored in a SharePoint site. For example: A project document, including File type Date created Author Last modified It is part of a workflow, including Who needs to approve Date of approval It includes information management policies that Cannot be edited once approved Content Type
90. Content types can be shared Create a content type hub, which is an blank site collection used to publish content types Publish the content types Consume them Content types become visible in subscriber’s content type galleries Syndication
91. Managing Terms Service Application Instance Term Group Term Set Term Create a term set and terms Use the managed metadata Pick the terms
93. Term Set = Taxonomy Related terms Managed through governance policies Managed Metadata Column Can be in a list, a library, or a content type Associated with a term set Found through Managed Metadata term set Keywords set = Folksonomy User generated tags Anyone can add them Require ongoing governance
104. Understand the current-state and future-state of your environment, any gaps, and how it relates to your metadata
105.
106. Jumpstart your governance Have a plan Create an internal SharePoint user group Clearly define roles and responsibilities Outline your taxonomy, communicate it, and iterate Create a governance site Learn and evolve
