Written for the Museums and the Web 2010 conference, this paper describes the unusual process used to create the Smithsonian's Web and New Media Strategy. The strategy was created through a fast, transparent, public-facing process that included workshops, the Smithsonian 2.0 conference, Twitter, YouTube, and ongoing collaboration through a public wiki. Transparency, openness, and speed were used to overcome obstacles and gather the input of hundreds of people inside and outside the institution.

Note that some of the text/callouts seem hard to read w. SlideShare's new compression scheme — sorry about that! Probably best to download the show and view it in PowerPoint, or, I've put a link to a PDF version on slide 2 (and the links work on the PDF version too!)
(This is the second version of these slides. The previous version was for some reason flagged as suspicious by SlideShare and made irrevocably un-shareable.)
Digital Culture and the Shaking Hand of ChangeMichael Edson
The presentation shows how to create and use a "problem space" to organize complex challenges. The central metaphor for the talk is the "civic handshake" — a process by which different parts of society cooperate through the informal exchange of information and the sharing of responsibilities.

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.

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Smithsonian Web and New Media StrategyDrivers, Process, and Execution …in 15 minutes or less The Reduced Shakespeare Version Museum Computer NetworkStrategery [sic]November 13, 2009 Portland, OR Michael Edson Director, Web and New Media Strategy Smithsonian Institution, Office of the CIO edsonm@si.edu | @mpedson
2. Preamble Twitter: @mpedson http://slideshare.net/edsonm Join us at http://smithsonian-webstrategy.wikispaces.com Beware…The opinions in this presentation are mine, not the official policy/strategy of the Smithsonian… (My M.O. is to drive change by building a sense of urgency) We’re a little bird
3. What to focus on in 15 minutes? A lifetime of thought and work went into this, the ideas are complex and nuanced, and I should be talking about the Smithsonian Commons… “But LynrdSkynrd has to play Freebird at every show” @SI_CTO Carmen Iannacone
4. Let’s Roll it This Way @ MCN The Strategy is online, so read it The process was pretty unusual Most of your organizations need to be making a strategy So, the thing that will make the most change in the world is to focus on HOW the strategy was made, so people can go out and build their own
5. Pain, Fear, or Opportunity Some kind of process Some kind of assertion Some kind of work How Strategy Goesin a really abstracted way of thinking
8. Pain/Fear Unexpected Rivals in Reach (July – Sept, 2009) Enchantedlearning.com is a two person team, with more online reach than the world’s largest museum and research complex! Enchantedlearning.com si.edu discoveryeducation.com ocean.com
10. Video interviews with visitorsDo you ever use Smithsonian Web sites? No, not really http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5x4Sga0d1s
11. /Opportunity The Smithsonian Commons A set of resources maintained in the public sphere for the use and benefit of everyone
12. /Opportunity Focus on innovation/ discovery inside the Institution Catalyze innovation/ discovery outside the institution Joy’s Law: no matter who you are, most of The smartest people work for someone else
13. /Opportunity The Web is a fundamentally new way of getting things done The Web is a bigger megaphone
14. Many more of these in recent slides on slideshare.net/edsonm /Opportunity The Web is a fundamentally new way of getting things done The Web is a bigger megaphone
16. /Opportunity Four Grand Challenges Unlocking the Mysteries of the Universe Understanding and Sustaining a Biodiverse Planet Valuing World Cultures Understanding the American Experience
17. Pain, Fear, or Opportunity Some kind of process Some kind of assertion Some kind of work
40. Process: Workshops to Wiki Process at-a-glance “The main intent of the workshops is to move relevant information to the wiki where it can be openly evaluated, sifted, weighed, and considered by all.”
43. Process: Workshops to Wiki As participants are speaking, what they’re saying is being typed and saved on a public wiki
44. Process: Workshops to Wiki “What I say really matters (because I know it will be seen/heard after the meeting ends)”
45. Process: Workshops to Wiki “Not everything that matters will get said in the next hour by the people in this room. The wiki encourages thoughtful synthesis and new ideas”
46. Process: Workshops to Wiki Highlighting “actions required” and important themes, post workshop.

67. “The impact of online collections can be greatly magnified by highlighting the knowledge and insight of Smithsonian experts…and a matrix of tools, policies, and resources that allows our audiences to be our partners in the increase and diffusion of knowledge.”
69. “Encourage and provide necessary support for staff to share their work and ideas directly with visitors though blogging, video, mobile platforms, geospatial data, and other Web and New Media formats”
70. “This is not to suggest that the old models of learning are irrelevant or inoperative, far from it. But the emergence of a new class of learning techniques—built on a foundation of broad and unrestricted access to information, social sharing, creativity, play, and participatory learning—supplement those standard protocols and enable vast new audiences to use the Smithsonian as one part of their lifelong learning journeys. ”
