Selecting Ontologies and Publishing Data of Electrical Appliances: A Refrige...Anna Fensel
Application scenarios for the data generated from the Internet of Things are on the rise. For example, given the appliances’ energy consumption data, energy measurement tools now make it possible to save energy whilst efficiently controlling the consumption of different household devices. Yet, when the precise structured data describing appliance models is missing, it is difficult for such application scenarios to be realized. The developed OpenFridge ontology defines a basic vocabulary for the domain of measuring a refrigerator’s energy consumption, showing that the needed ontology schemata are already in place, but need to be identified and skillfully applied. Further, the ontology has been populated from the Web using data scraping, and the created dataset semantically describing the specifics of 1032 refrigerator models with 18665 triples, make these valuable assets for the development of further applications.

Science and more specifically projects using HPC is facing a digital data explosion. Instruments and simulations are producing more and more volume; data can be shared, mined, cited, preserved… They are a great asset, but they are facing risks: we can miss storage, we can lose them, they can be misused,… To start this session, we will review why it is important to manage research data and how to do this by maintaining a Data Management Plan. This will be based on the best practices from EUDAT H2020 project and European Commission recommendation. During the second part we will interactively draft a DMP for a given use case.
A new approach to gather similar operations extracted from web servicesIJECEIAES
A web service is an autonomous software that exposes a set of features on the Internet, it is developed and published by providers and accessed by customers who discover it, select it, invoke and use it. Several research policies have been implemented such as searching through keywords, searching according to semantics and searching by estimating the similarity. A customer is looking for a service for the operations he/she carries out, hence the interest of guiding the search for services towards a search for operations: finding the desired operations amounts to finding the services. For this, groupings of similar operations would make it possible to obtain all the services that can meet the desired functionalities. The customer can then select, in this set the service or services according to its non-functional criteria. The paper presents a study of the similarity between operations. The proposed approach is validated through an experimental study conducted on web services belonging to various domains.

Linked Statistical Data: does it actually pay off?Oscar Corcho
Invited keynote at the ISWC2015 Workshop on Semantics and Statistics (SemStats 2015). http://semstats.github.io/2015/
The release of the W3C RDF Data Cube recommendation was a significant milestone towards improving the maturity of the area of Linked Statistical Data. Many Data Cube-based datasets have been released since then. Tools for the generation and exploitation of such datasets have also appeared. While the benefits for the usage of RDF Data Cube and the generation of Linked Data in this area seem to be clear, there are still many challenges associated to the generation and exploitation of such data. In this talk we will reflect about them, based on our experience on generating and exploiting such type of data, and hopefully provoke some discussion about what the next steps should be.

Data accessibility and the role of informatics in predicting the biosphereAlex Hardisty
The variety, distinctiveness and complexity of life – biodiversity in other words and by implication the ecosystems in which it is situated – is our life support system. It is absolutely essential and more important than almost everything else but it is typically taken for granted. Today’s big societal challenges – food and water security, coping with environmental change and aspects of human health – are beyond the abilities of any one individual or research group to solve. Solving them depends not only on collaboration to deliver the appropriate scientific evidence but increasingly on vast amounts of data from multiple sources (environmental, taxonomic, genomic and ecological) gathered by manual observation and automated sensors, digitisation, remote sensing, and genetic sequencing. In April 2012 we called the biodiversity and ecosystems research communities to arms to formulate a consensus view on establishing an infrastructure to improve the accessibility of the ever-increasing volumes of biological data. We published the whitepaper: “A decadal view of biodiversity informatics: challenges and priorities” that has since been viewed more than 24,000 times. We envisage a shared and maintained multi-purpose network of computationally-based processing services sitting on top of an open data domain. By open data domain we mean data that is accessible i.e., published, registered and linked. BioVeL, pro-iBiosphere, ViBRANT and other FP7 funded projects have all explored aspects of this vision.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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.

24. Project number: 283465
GfBio
German Federation for the Curation of Biological Data
Sustainable, service oriented, national data infrastructure
facilitating data sharing for biological and environmental
research
Based on well established archives e.g., MARUM, PANGAEA
ENVRI RM as common terminology
Architecture - define and document
GfBio service portfolios and critical
components based on minimal
model and common functions
Business model - estimate GfBio costs and
compensation models required for
operation of these services
Initially for PANGAEA, Bexis, and DWB
26. Project number: 283465
Benefits of Using the RM (Immediate 1-5 years)
Professional framework for clearly defining roles and
processes in RI operations
Makes it far easier to design RI in the Construction Phase
Helps to evaluate current RIs for division of tasks
Helps to find missing or duplicated actions
Easier definition of requirements of IT components
Enabling a more modular approach for the RI IT solutions
Makes easier to use external suppliers (e.g. international IT
co-operation projects) for the component development

27. Project number: 283465
Benefits of Using the RM (Intermediate 5-10 years)
A common language ensures common understanding
Avoiding duplications
Enabling re-use of components, solutions & policies
The use of planned standard modular approach
enables scalable design solutions
Better risk management of RI development, due to
possibility of changing individual modules and
operations of the RIs, without needing to completely
redesign the systems due to some ad-hoc solutions
Improving the trustworthiness of the RI products due to
clearly defined and standardized ways to present
workflows

28. Project number: 283465
Benefits of Using the RM (Long-term 10-20 years)
Greater level of interoperability through the use of
common standards, enabling data usage and
communication between the RIs to become
commonplace
Support of cross-disciplinary perspectives and products
and enablement of systems science approach
Larger potential user base due to easier use of the RI
products, which increases the impact and return on
investment of RIs

Editor's Notes
Start by saying how we all speak a common language but often, despite using the same words we say different things. This is a problem for us because it makes it difficult to reach common understanding and it leads to incompatibilities between systems.
The motivations of creating a reference model for environmental science research infrastructures are:
The motivations of creating a reference model for environmental science research infrastructures are:
Industrial strength, based on more than 30 years experience in telecommunications, defence, public sector, etc.
ODP defines 5 viewpoints, from 5 viewpoint to consider how to build the distributed system
Three viewpoints take particular priority: the Science, Information and Computational View-points, which gives better focus on the core objective of ENVRI: to develop an understanding of the common requirements and to provide the design solutions for common data and operation services.
ODP defines 5 viewpoints, from 5 viewpoint to consider how to build the distributed system
Single point of contact for collection, archiving, curation, integration, publication and deployment of data
Following here the successful model of PANGAEA we would like to make data management an integral and funded part of research projects.

Kurze Charakterisierung der Partner –was sind die highlights bei einzelnen Partnern (Auswahl)
Critical mass – comprising the essential players in this field in Germany.
We are not starting from sratch, our archives are well established, some of them are active for decades
Multidisciplinary – that is we are covering all relevant fields
Expertise – in terms of data and infrastructure. GFBio archives and services are embedded into research facilities. Most of the facilties have been set up complementary to in house research. We understand the science behind the data, we are experienced in building infrastructures, and we also have experience with the management of such infrastructures.
An finally most of the partners are engaged international networks, projects, and programs. Examples on the European level are EU projects ELIXIR or Lifewatch, internationally GBIF and the marine part OBIS, where already now most of the german collection facilities and also PANGAEA is feeding data to. Beyond the biological infrastructures, PANGAEA is also member of the World Data Systems of the WMO and the ICSU and a number of further international consortia – alles listen was Bedeutung hat: ELIXIR, Marine Genomics, WDS, WMO, … Logos einblenden an der Seite
Hier müssen noch viele Logos rein, für Projekte, Netzwerke etc.
