Challenges for the Language Technology IndustryAntoine Isaac
This document summarizes challenges for the language technology industry in Europe related to Europeana, a platform providing access to cultural heritage collections across Europe. It notes that Europeana provides access to over 33 million objects from over 2,300 contributors in 36 countries, with metadata in 33 languages. However, it faces challenges in facilitating re-use and access across languages due to the diversity of languages and domains in its collections. It discusses the need for automatic translation and natural language processing tools to address multilingual search and access issues at Europeana's scale. The document also outlines resource constraints for libraries, archives, and museums in developing language technologies, and their role in providing open data and use cases to the industry.

Made for the Semantic Media Web innovation day, Berlin, Sept 27, 2013: http://semantic-media-web.de/innovationsforum/metadaten/
Europeana is the European Union's digital platform for cultural heritage, currently providing access to over 4.6 million digitized items from European libraries, archives, and museums. The document discusses efforts to enhance Europeana by developing a semantic layer and semantics-enabled search capabilities that can better connect related concepts and expand queries using metadata and controlled vocabularies. It describes prototypes developed by the Europeana Thought Lab that cluster search results and autocomplete queries using semantic relationships between concepts. Key challenges mentioned include converting legacy metadata into semantic formats, aligning different descriptive ontologies and vocabularies, and ensuring the semantic features can be scaled for Europeana's production environment.

The document discusses applying linked data principles to identify and describe fragments of multimedia content like images, videos, and audio. It proposes using URIs to uniquely identify multimedia fragments and deploying multimedia metadata in the semantic web. The W3C Media Fragments Working Group aims to provide mechanisms for identifying multimedia fragments on the web. Examples show retrieving video fragments by URI and representing them semantically in RDF. Open issues include content negotiation between media and semantic representations of fragments.
NISO Annual Report of 2012 Activities presented by Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director, at the 2013 NISO Annual Membership Meeting, held during ALA Midwinter on January 27, 2013 in Seattle, WA
The document discusses finding and organizing media like photos and videos that illustrate real-world events. It describes scraping various event directories and linking the data. Media can be found by searching based on geo-tags, titles, or uploader. Visual analysis is used to prune media results. The goal is to help users explore, annotate and share media related to events. Challenges include interlinking diverse data sources and detecting unscheduled events.
This document discusses validating RDF data against the Europeana Data Model (EDM). It describes how EDM constraints are currently implemented using XML Schema and Schematron rules, which is not ideal. Alternatives discussed include using an OWL ontology, the Dublin Core Application Profile constraint language, SPIN, and Stardog ICV. The document argues that expressing constraints at different levels is needed, from enabling basic validation to packaging constraints for specific datasets to allowing sharing and reuse. Expressing constraints in a way that does not modify class and property semantics is also important.

The ISTC is administered by the International ISTC Agency which oversees the assignment and registration of ISTC codes. ISTC codes will facilitate information exchange and optimize discovery of related works. The ISTC will support rights management and improve collections management by linking works to their various physical and digital manifestations through a single identifier.

The European (Digital) Library - Overview and OutlookOlaf Janssen
The European Library (www.theeuropeanlibrary.org) is a multilingual portal offering integrated access to the tens of millions of resources (books, magazines, journals...) of 18 national libraries in Europe. It offers free searching and delivers both digital and non-digital objects. It provides a vast virtual collection of mate-rials from all disciplines. The European Library is currently being expanded with the holdings of the national libraries of the 10 EU New Member States. From September 2006 onwards the remaining EU and EFTA na-tional libraries will be connected to TheEuropeanLibrary.org, bringing the total number of participating na-tional libraries to ±35 by the end of 2008.
In the beginning of 2006 the EC expressed support for The European Library to evolve into a much bigger European Digital Library (EDL), including access to the digital collections of other major cultural heritage institutions, such as museums and archives. The EDL is planned to include the holdings of all European na-tional libraries and a minimum of 2M digital works by the end of 2008. By 2010 the EDL needs to have ex-panded to include collections of archives, museums and other libraries, with a minimum of 6M digital works.
The European Library aims to remain a major player in the European cultural heritage field and is already strengthening its cooperation with other relevant key initiatives, such as MACS, DELOS, MICHAEL, BRICKS and MINERVA.

This document discusses integrating 3D architectural and archaeological models into Europeana, an online portal that provides access to Europe's cultural heritage. It provides background on Europeana, describing how it was created to aggregate digital cultural heritage objects from across Europe using common metadata standards. The document outlines the evolution of Europeana's data models from ESE to the more robust EDM to better integrate disparate sources. It argues that providing 3D models to Europeana ensures international visibility and preservation of digital cultural heritage assets. The 3D-ICONS project aims to contribute a significant number of 3D models of important European architectural and archaeological sites to Europeana.
Workshop jointly hosted by CARARE and Europeana which took place at the University of Leiden, Faculty of Archaeology on 14 June 2017. The theme of the workshop was Archaeology and Architecture in Europeana.
The document proposes the DEER (Distributed European Electronic Resource) project, which would provide access to networked cultural content across Europe through distributed repositories and virtual spaces. The DEER would unite and showcase Europe's diverse cultures while being multilingual and forward-looking through its use of advanced technologies. It would serve audiences in higher education, research, and the general public. The technical requirements would include a high-bandwidth infrastructure to support the DEER's cultural content management system and user-friendly portal for multicultural access. Organizational models and funding strategies are also discussed to realize the DEER.
Europeana is a digital platform that provides access to over 27 million digitized items from European cultural heritage institutions like museums, libraries, and archives.

The Europeana Data Model Principles, community and innovationAntoine Isaac
This document summarizes the Europeana Data Model (EDM), which provides principles for representing metadata from cultural heritage institutions in a connected way on the web. EDM follows linked data best practices like using existing vocabularies and minimizing formalization. It represents metadata elements like full text, rights, and quality. Developing EDM involves experts from different domains and adopting a collaborative approach. Flexibility is needed to avoid overcommitment to formal semantics while reusing standards.

Isaac - W3C Data on the Web Best Practices - Data VocabulariesAntoine Isaac
The document discusses best practices for using data vocabularies on the web as developed by the W3C Data on the Web Best Practices Working Group. It recommends reusing existing standardized vocabularies when possible and choosing the appropriate formalization level for data, avoiding both over-commitment to semantics and replication of existing vocabulary terms. It also describes Europeana's experience developing its data model EDM, which reuses many existing vocabularies while requiring significant effort to research, discuss, and maintain flexibility.
This document summarizes the Europeana APIs for accessing metadata and media from the Europeana digital collection. It describes the Search API and Record API, including how to perform basic searches and get search result profiles. It also provides examples of searching, getting search fields, and accessing record metadata in different formats. The document introduces the Europeana Data Model and how digital objects and representations are submitted and stored as proxies in Europeana.
The document discusses modelling and exchanging annotations for Europeana projects. It proposes adopting the W3C Web Annotation Data Model to represent annotations in RDF using JSON-LD serialization. An Annotations API based on the W3C Web Annotation Protocol allows exchanging annotations between Europeana and platforms like HistoryPin.org and Pundit. Representing metadata annotations is also discussed to make them machine-readable and shareable across interfaces. Overall, modelling annotations interoperably and exchanging them across platforms is still a work in progress.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
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.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

9. Related projects applying NLP tools
E.g., The PATHS project has developed techniques to enrich English
and Spanish collections
1)Identification of key entities
2)Detection of (typed) similarities between objects, using metadata
3)“Background links” to external resources such as Wikipedia
4)Classification of object against a hierarchy of topic
Applying these techniques to other languages would require work
1)requires language-specific tools (PoS tagging, lemmatization)
2)is straightforward to apply to new languages
3)requires language-specific tools
4)depends on (3) and on translation of some topics

Typical queries are very short
Average < 2 terms
Identification of query language is not easy, even manually
39% of queries may belong to several languages
Plenty of named entities
60% of queries are for persons & places
Not only is it hard for queries: the same issues apply
to the descriptive metadata
