Network Analysis: Tech Evangelism London Meetup
The real magic in any community comes from the people. Dawn will show you tools and techniques for performing network analysis to look at the people in your community along with the relationships between them. Why settle for boring numbers and line charts to describe your community when you can do cool visualizations that show how people connect within your open source community?
This talk will cover
* Principles of network analysis.
* Using tools like mlstats and others to pull data from your community and store it in a database.
* Running basic queries to extract the data needed for network analysis.
* Demonstrate techniques for doing network analysis.
* Show examples of visualizations.
The goal is for people to walk away with some basic techniques and tools that they can use to begin doing network analysis of their own and to make their metrics awesome.
Network Relationships and Job Changes of Software Developers at Sunbelt 2016
This presentation looks at job changes of software developers within an open source software community using
relational predictors of job change activity to model the actions of the actors involved. Interactions with other actors
on mailing lists and in software contributions will be used as predictors.
Open source software is developed in the open where anyone can view the source code and anyone with the knowledge
to do so can contribute to the project. Because people from around the world work on these projects together using
online tools with publicly accessible interactions between people, it is a relevant setting for studying job changes
using Social Network Analysis to understand and model the network relationships between individuals both before
and after a job change.

Open source: A Job and an Adventure - FLOSSUK 2016
Do you love open source and want to make enough money to pay the bills? Dawn made an accidental career out of open source over 15 years ago, and it changed her life. It has given her an opportunity to work with amazing people and travel the world while doing work that is more fun than any job should be.
This session will start with why you might want to make a career out of open source. The bulk of it will explore the many ways to get open source to pay your bills. Even if you already have one of these jobs, this talk will provide options for additional career paths and tips for what to do improve your chances of getting that next gig and how to avoid sabotaging your career. Dawn will share her stories about how she ended up here along with some of her time management tips to avoid letting this work take over your entire life (unless you want it to)!
Audience:
The audience is anyone who is interested in making a career out of their work with open source software or improving their existing careers. Attendees can expect to learn how to find a new career in open source software or improve an existing career. They will also get useful advice about things to do and not to do that will improve their chances of getting that next job.
Semantic Wiki Based Collaborative Scientific Modeling Infrastructure
This document describes a semantic wiki-based collaborative scientific modeling infrastructure that aims to support collaboration, hybrid modeling approaches, and accessibility. It allows users to publish and use scientific data through a wiki interface that integrates semantic technologies to enable formal modeling alongside informal text. The infrastructure provides concept modeling, policy modeling, group information management, and other applications to facilitate scientific collaboration and knowledge management.
Commit yourself already: Contributing to open source
The document discusses committing to open source projects by joining a community to avoid working alone. It recommends finding a project that scratches a personal itch, using the right tools for the job, and looking out for potential blockers. The goal is to provide examples of how to successfully contribute to open source.
Predicting Discussions on the Social Semantic Web
This document discusses predicting discussions on social media platforms. It first notes the large amount of social data being published and then discusses how analysis of this data is currently limited. It proposes predicting which posts will start discussions ("seed posts") and how active those discussions will be. The document describes experiments using semantic features and ontologies to identify seed posts and predict discussion volume. Key findings include that user reputation, broadcast reach, and connections influence discussion likelihood and levels. The approach accurately predicts which posts will spark replies and how active discussions will be.

The document discusses the evolution of webometrics and related fields in light of new Web 2.0 technologies that enable greater participation and collaboration online. It explores new areas of study including blogometrics, wikimetrics, tagometrics, and the analysis of social networks and interactions online. The rise of social media and user-generated content on the web necessitates an updated approach to the quantitative study of the web that takes into account how users actively create and share information.

The Social Semantic Web
This document summarizes John Breslin's presentation on the social semantic web. It discusses how semantic web technologies like FOAF, SIOC, and OGP can help connect isolated social networks and allow users to easily move between sites while bringing their data. Standards like OpenID Connect aim to provide interoperability across social platforms. Emerging projects also seek to annotate social media content with semantics and bring the data into the linked open data cloud. The goal is a unified social semantic web where users have distributed identities and their profiles and content can easily cross between different social platforms.
The end of the scientific paper as we know it (in 4 easy steps)
Scientific publishing hasn't really changed in over 300 years. By changing papers from a single narrative text (readable by people only) into a rich network of snippets of knowledge ("nano-publications") we would allow computers to become our colleagues instead of just our tools
Linked Data past, present and futures
1) The document discusses the evolution of the semantic web and linked data, from their initial visions to their current uses. It describes how linked data has focused more on sharing information as a graph and facilitating data integration, rather than the formal ontologies originally envisioned for the semantic web.
2) Key developments in linked data are highlighted, such as schema.org for web pages metadata and DBpedia for open data. However, limitations around costs, incentives and tool maintenance are noted.
3) Emerging areas are knowledge discovery through graph mining of linked data, and the potential for a more "sentient web" combining linked data with sensors and AI/ML for continuous learning.
An Automated Snowball Census of the Political Web - JITP 2011
Working abstract: This paper solves a persistent methodological problem for social scientists studying the political web: representative sampling. Virtually all existing studies of the political web are based on incomplete samples, and therefore lack generalizability. In this paper, I combine methods from computer science and sampling theory to conduct an automated snowball census of the political web and constructs an all-but-complete index of English political websites. I check the robustness of this index, use it to generate descriptive statistics for the entire political web, and demonstrate that studies based on ad hoc sampling strategies are likely to be biased in important ways. In future research, this bias can be eliminated by using this index as a sampling universe. In addition, the methods and open-source software presented here can be used to creating similar sampling frames for other online content domains.
The end of the scientific paper as we know it (or not...)
Two talks in one: the first talk expanding on the great promises of nanopublications, the second talk pointing out why much of that is too difficult (and some of it wrong).
Webometrics 1.0 from AltaVista to Small Worlds and Genre Drift
The document discusses early research in webometrics, which is the study of quantitative aspects of the construction and use of information resources on the web. It describes two seminal webometric studies - one that analyzed the small-world link structure across UK university websites, and another that examined genre connectivity and how different page genres function as link providers and receivers. The studies found that computer science sites often connect topics, personal pages provide links that increase cohesion, and genre and topic drift along links helps create short paths in the small-world structure of the web.

Mining the Go Developer Community
Based on my experience with open source, community and Go, I’ll dig into the traction of Go relative to competing systems languages, examples in production, and the health and growth of Go’s community.
Broad Data
The document discusses the concept of "Broad Data" which refers to the large amount of freely available but widely varied open data on the World Wide Web, including structured and semi-structured data. It provides examples such as the growing linked open data cloud and over 710,000 datasets available from governments around the world. Broad data poses new challenges for data search, modeling, integration and visualization of partially modeled datasets. International open government data search and linking government data to additional contexts are also discussed.
Sharing ideas and sharing data: Researchers and Web 2.0
This document discusses researchers sharing ideas and data on Web 2.0 platforms. It explores some benefits like openness, network effects, and sharing effort to filter information. However, it also notes barriers like cultural differences between fields, work habits, information overload, and intellectual property issues. The document examines examples like Friendfeed, GeoVue, and Maptube for sharing conference reports and data without major technological limitations.
Designing a second generation of open data platforms
1. The document describes a study that aimed to develop an open government data (OGD) platform that integrates OGD and social media features to better stimulate value generation from OGD.
2. Researchers designed a prototype platform with features like data processing, feedback/collaboration, data quality ratings, and grouping/interaction capabilities.
3. An evaluation of the prototype found that users appreciated the novel social media-inspired features and found them useful for collaborating around OGD.

BCcampus a-great-babbling-bazaar
BCcampus is interested in making collaboration around OER easier because we've moved from a system where our involvement in the textbook creation/adaption process was very hands on to a process where we need to be very hands off. We hope that by making tools that help authors move through a workflow on their own, it will fill in the gap. What we have so far is a model of what works in OSS, a few assumptions, a little bit of research to back up those assumptions and some feedback from a quick survey.
The Web of Data: do we actually understand what we built?
Despite its obvious success (largest knowledge base ever built, used in practice by companies and governments alike), we actually understand very little of the structure of the Web of Data. Its formal meaning is specified in logic, but with its scale, context dependency and dynamics, the Web of Data has outgrown its traditional model-theoretic semantics.
Is the meaning of a logical statement (an edge in the graph) dependent on the cluster ("context") in which it appears? Does a more densely connected concept (node) contain more information? Is the path length between two nodes related to their semantic distance?
Properties such as clustering, connectivity and path length are not described, much less explained by model-theoretic semantics. Do such properties contribute to the meaning of a knowledge graph?
To properly understand the structure and meaning of knowledge graphs, we should no longer treat knowledge graphs as (only) a set of logical statements, but treat them properly as a graph. But how to do this is far from clear.
In this talk, I report on some of our early results on some of these questions, but I ask many more questions for which we don't have answers yet.
Dan Needham & Phil Cross (mimas) – Names Project
The Names Project presentation discusses using Names to disambiguate researcher identities and integrate researcher data across different sources. Names extracts data from repositories like EPrints and Zetoc and makes it available through APIs and other standardized formats. Over 30 million researcher records have been made permanent in Names so far. Future work includes processing more data sources, adding more identifiers like ISNI and ORCID, and developing plugins to help repositories integrate with Names.
Franck Rebillard, Professeur Université Paris 3
The document discusses the use of digital methods for analyzing online information, including both their benefits and limitations. It provides two examples of digital methods applications: (1) tracking memes and their variants across news articles and blogs, and (2) analyzing trends on Twitter by collecting tweets mentioning trending topics. The conclusion advocates taking advantage of digital methods' access to large, exhaustive digital corpora and network visualizations, while also using qualitative content analysis and observations of actors to build on initial quantitative findings.
Digital Methods by Richard Rogers
The workshop opens with a discussion of how to repurpose digital "methods of the medium" for social and cultural scholarly research, including its limitations, critiques and ethics. Subsequently participants are trained in using digital methods in hands-on sessions. How to use crawlers for dynamic URL sampling and issue network mapping? How to employ scrapers to create a bias or partisanship diagnostic instrument? We also consider how to deploy online platforms for social research. How to transform Wikipedia from an online encyclopaedia to a device for cross-cultural memory studies? How to make use of social media so as to profile the preferences and tastes of politicians’ friends, and also locate most engaged with content? How to make use of Twitter analytics to debanalize tweets, and provide compelling accounts of events on the ground? Finally, the workshop turns to the question of employing web data and metrics as societal indices more generally.

Building Community for your Company’s OSS Projects
Your company has just started an open source project, but where is the community? This talk provides practical tips and suggestions along with what not to do when building a community around your company’s open source project.
Building a community around your company’s open source project is no easy task, and there is no magic bullet or one size fits all solution. However, there are some things that you can do (or not do) to increase the chances of successfully building a community for your project.
A few of the dos and don’ts covered in this talk include:
* Planning and product management: Do use a transparent process in the open with tools that allow anyone to participate. Don’t use your internal tools and private meetings to make all of the decisions.
* Encourage participation: Do be proactive about helping community members contribute in meaningful ways. Don’t inadvertently set the expectation that employees will be the ones always answering questions and making decisions.
* Be honest: Do be honest with yourselves about where and how you prefer to have community members contribute. Don’t encourage people to contribute in areas where you are less likely to accept outside contributions.
* Managing contributions: Do have enough people trained in how to provide constructive feedback to manage the flow of incoming community contributions. Don’t assume that your existing developers have the time and skills to magically perform this difficult function.
The audience will walk away with practical advice about building communities for corporate open source projects.

* Planning and product management: Do use a transparent process in the open with tools that allow anyone to participate. Don’t use your internal tools and private meetings to make all of the decisions.
* Encourage participation: Do be proactive about helping community members contribute in meaningful ways. Don’t inadvertently set the expectation that employees will be the ones always answering questions and making decisions.
* Be honest: Do be honest with yourselves about where and how you prefer to have community members contribute. Don’t encourage people to contribute in areas where you are less likely to accept outside contributions.
* Managing contributions: Do have enough people trained in how to provide constructive feedback to manage the flow of incoming community contributions. Don’t assume that your existing developers have the time and skills to magically perform this difficult function.
The audience will walk away with practical advice about building communities for corporate open source projects.

Human Computation for Big Data
Over the last few years we have observed the emergence of hybrid human-machine information systems which are able to both scale over large amount of data as well as to maintain high-quality data processing intrinsic in human intelligence.
In this talk I will focus on the use of human intelligence at scale by means of crowdsourcing to deal with Big Data problems. We will look specifically on how to deal with the variety in data by means of Human Computation still being able to operate with a large data volume.
First, I will introduce the area of micro-task crowdsourcing also providing an overview of different research challenges that needs to be tackled to enable large-scale hybrid human-machine information systems. Next, I will provide examples of such hybrid systems for entity linking and disambiguation using crowdsourcing and a graph of linked entities as background corpus. I will describe how keyword query understanding can be crowdsourced to build search engines that can answer rare complex queries. Finally, I will present new techniques that allow to improve the quality of crowdsourced information system components by means of push crowdsourcing.

A Social Cloud for Public eResearch
Scientific researchers faced with extremely large computations or the requirement of storing vast quantities of data have come to rely on distributed computational models like cloud computing. However, distributed computation is typically complex and expensive. The Social Cloud for Public eResearch aims to provide researchers with a platform to exploit social networks to reach out to users who would otherwise be unlikely to donate computational time for scientific and other research oriented projects. In this paper we explore the motivations of users to contribute computational time and examine the various ways these motivations can be catered to through established social networks. We specifically look at integrating Facebook and BOINC, and discuss the architecture of the functional system and the novel social engineering algorithms that power it.
A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON DATA EXTRACTION IN SINA WEIBO
With the rapid growth of users in social networking services, data is generated in thousands of terabytes
every day. Practical frameworks for data extraction from social networking sites have not been well
investigated yet. In this paper, a methodology for data extraction with respect to Sina Weibo is discussed.
In order to design a proper method for data extraction, the properties of complex networks and the
challenges when extracting data from complex networks are discussed first. Then, the reason for choosing
Sina Weibo as the data source is given. After that, the methods for data gathering are introduced and the
techniques for data sampling and data clean-up are discussed. Over 1 million users and hundreds of
millions of social relations between them were extracted from Sina Weibo using the methods proposed in
this paper.

Semantic Data Retrieval: Search, Ranking, and Summarization
Gong Cheng presented on semantic data retrieval, including entity retrieval and association retrieval from semantic graphs. He discussed two main challenges: efficiently searching large graphs for associations within a diameter bound, and ranking the retrieved associations. For the first challenge, he proposed algorithms using path finding, pruning, and result deduplication. For the second challenge, he conducted a user study and found that association size was the most important ranking factor. Other proposed measures like entity homogeneity and relation heterogeneity had mixed user preferences.
No more waiting! Tools that work Today to reveal dataset use
This document discusses the need to better understand the impact of datasets beyond just citations. It notes that datasets can be engaged with in many ways, such as through views, saves, discussions, and recommendations, by various groups like researchers, teachers, students, and policymakers. It calls for exposing more metrics of engagement, supporting more tools for interacting with datasets at all stages, and making metrics and data more openly available to help reveal how datasets are being used.

The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
What is an RPA CoE? Session 1 – CoE Vision
In the first session, we will review the organization's vision and how this has an impact on the COE Structure.
Topics covered:
• The role of a steering committee
• How do the organization’s priorities determine CoE Structure?
Speaker:
Chris Bolin, Senior Intelligent Automation Architect Anika Systems
