The Web Comes Alive with Data! Schema.org and Structured Data on the Web: Pas...Jay Myers
For years, technologists have been trying to make sense of the vast wealth of insightful data we have locked in databases and unstructured formats. There is a growing movement to transform the web from one meant for solely human consumption to one accessible for humans and machines. Schema.org is a coalition of technology companies, including Google, promoting better structured data on the web.
The Next Web of Linked Data -- University of St Thomas SEIS 708Jay Myers
With hundreds of millions of active web sites on the web and millions of
new web pages added every day, the knowledge contained on the internet far
surpasses even the largest cache of big data. Today, many web developers
still publish web pages and services solely for human consumption.
However, there is a growing movement to put machine friendly data on the
web in various forms to create a web of Linked Data rather than a web
comprised of simple documents.
This talk will examine the history, technology and examples around Linked
Data, onotologies, and the schema.org movement that will enable a smarter
web -- not just for search, but also next-gen data tools and applications
that will connect entities and facts from across the internet, all enabled
by developers publishing data directly to the web.
On Again; Off Again - Benjamin Young - ebookcraft 2017BookNet Canada
Over the past year, the world’s leading browsers have added features enabling web applications and publications to “phase shift” between online and offline states. Surrounding these new features is a growing set of communities broadly coalescing around the term “offline-first.” In this talk, we’ll take a look at some of the key bits of technology being used by these new phase-shifting applications, as well as how the W3C’s Digital Publishing Interest Group is exploring these (and other ideas) for possible use in Portable Web Publications.

Learn how one organization put Linked Data to work for it by adding a sixth star - using APIs - to Sir Tim Berners-Lee's 5-Star Scale for implementing Linked Open Data. This session includes an introduction to Linked Open Data, Linked Closed Data, and Berners-Lee's 5 star scale and do a step-by-step walk-through of a successful implementation. It includes a frank discussion regarding the technical and organizational challenges encountered with a real-world Linked Data project and how those challenges were overcome. In this presentation, you will not only learn how to think about Linked Data APIs in real world terms, but also how to "sell" it to the organization."
SAFETY NETS: RESCUE AND REVIVAL FOR ENDANGERED BORN-DIGITAL RECORDS- Program ...Micah Altman
The web is now firmly established as the primary communication and publication platform for sharing and accessing social and cultural materials. This networked world has created both opportunities and pitfalls for libraries and archives in their mission to preserve and provide ongoing access to knowledge. How can the affordances of the web be leveraged to drastically extend the plurality of representation in the archive? What challenges are imposed by the intrinsic ephemerality and mutability of online information? What methodological reorientations are demanded by the scale and dynamism of machine-generated cultural artifacts? This talk will explore the interplay of the web, contemporary historical records, and the programs, technologies, and approaches by which libraries and archives are working to extend their mission to preserve and provide access to the evidence of human activity in a world distinguished by the ubiquity of born-digital materials.
Information Science Brown Bag talks, hosted by the Program on Information Science, consists of regular discussions and brainstorming sessions on all aspects of information science and uses of information science and technology to assess and solve institutional, social and research problems. These are informal talks. Discussions are often inspired by real-world problems being faced by the lead discussant.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
