Towards comprehensive syntactic and semantic annotations of the clinical narr...Jinho Choi
Objective To create annotated clinical narratives with layers of syntactic and semantic labels to facilitate advances in clinical natural language processing (NLP). To develop NLP algorithms and open source components. Methods Manual annotation of a clinical narrative corpus of 127 606 tokens following the Treebank schema for syntactic information, PropBank schema for predicate-argument structures, and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) schema for semantic information. NLP components were developed. Results The final corpus consists of 13 091 sentences containing 1772 distinct predicate lemmas. Of the 766 newly created PropBank frames, 74 are verbs. There are 28 539 named entity (NE) annotations spread over 15 UMLS semantic groups, one UMLS semantic type, and the Person semantic category. The most frequent annotations belong to the UMLS semantic groups of Procedures (15.71%), Disorders (14.74%), Concepts and Ideas (15.10%), Anatomy (12.80%), Chemicals and Drugs (7.49%), and the UMLS semantic type of Sign or Symptom (12.46%). Inter-annotator agreement results: Treebank (0.926), PropBank (0.891–0.931), NE (0.697–0.750). The part-of-speech tagger, constituency parser, dependency parser, and semantic role labeler are built from the corpus and released open source. A significant limitation uncovered by this project is the need for the NLP community to develop a widely agreed-upon schema for the annotation of clinical concepts and their relations. Conclusions This project takes a foundational step towards bringing the field of clinical NLP up to par with NLP in the general domain. The corpus creation and NLP components provide a resource for research and application development that would have been previously impossible.

Presentation for the paper: "Semantic Discovery in the Web of Things" at http://sisinflab.poliba.it/EnWoT/2017/
Abstract:
While the number of things present in the Web grows, the ability of discovering such things in order to successfully interact with them becomes a challenge, mainly due to heterogeneity.
The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, an ontology-based approach to leverage web things discovery that is transparent to the syntax, protocols and formats used in things interfaces is described. Second, a semantic model for describing web things and how to extract and understand the relevant information for discovery is proposed.
Integrating a Domain Ontology Development Environment and an Ontology Search ...Takeshi Morita
In order to reduce the cost of building domain ontologies manually, in this paper, we propose a method and a tool named DODDLE-OWL for domain ontology construction reusing texts and existing ontologies extracted by an ontology search engine: Swoogle. In the experimental evaluation, we applied the method to a particular field of law and evaluated the acquired ontologies.

The Dendro research data management platform: Applying ontologies to long-ter...João Rocha da Silva
It has been shown that data management should start as early as possible in the research workflow to minimize the risks of data loss. Given the large numbers of datasets produced every day, curators may be unable to describe them all, so researchers should take an active part in the process. However, since they are not data management experts, they must be provided with user-friendly but powerful tools to capture the context information necessary for others to interpret and reuse their datasets. In this paper, we present Dendro, a fully ontology-based collaborative platform for research data management. Its graph data model innovates in the sense that it allows domain-specific lightweight ontologies to be used in resource description, acting as a staging area for later deposit in long-term preservation solutions.
Revolutionizing Laboratory Instrument Data for the Pharmaceutical Industry:...OSTHUS
The Allotrope Foundation is a consortium of major pharmaceutical companies and a partner network whose goal is to address challenges in the pharmaceutical industry by providing a set of public, non-proprietary standards for using and integrating analytical laboratory data. Current challenges in data management within the pharmaceutical industry often center around inconsistent or incomplete data and metadata and proprietary data formats. Because of a lack of standardization, several operations (e.g. integration of instruments/applications, transfer of methods or results, archiving for regulatory purposes) require unnecessary efforts. Further, higher level aggregation of data, e.g. regulatory filings, that are derived from multiple sources of laboratory data are costly to create. These unnecessary costs impact operations within a company’s laboratories, between partnering companies, and between a company and contract research organizations (CROs). Finally, the accelerating transition of laboratories from hybrid (paper + electronic) to purely electronic data streams, coupled with an ever-increasing regulatory scrutiny of electronic data management practices, further require a comprehensive solution. This talk will discuss how The Allotrope Foundation is providing a new framework for data standards through collaboration between numerous stakeholders.

Due to the increasing uptake of semantic technologies, ontologies are becoming part of a growing number of software development projects. As a result, ontology development teams have to combine their activities with software development practices. In this presentation some practices, tools and examples of new trends in ontological engineering are provided.
Introduction to Linked Open Vocabularies http://lov.okfn.org/ during EUDAT2017 https://eudat.eu/events/trainings/eudat-semantic-working-group-at-9th-rda-plenary-barcelona-3-4-april-2017
Some tools developed at OEG (Ontology Engineering Group) for facilitating ontology engineering activities as evaluation, documentation, releasing and publication.
Ontology Evaluation: a pitfall-based approach to ontology diagnosisMaría Poveda Villalón
Ontology evaluation, which includes ontology diagnosis and repair, is a complex activity that should be carried out in every ontology development project, because it checks for the technical quality of the ontology. However, there is an important gap between the methodological work about ontology evaluation and the tools that support such an activity. More precisely, not many approaches provide clear guidance about how to diagnose ontologies and how to repair them accordingly.
This thesis aims to advance the current state of the art of ontology evaluation, specifically in the ontology diagnosis activity. The main goals of this thesis are (a) to help ontology engineers to diagnose their ontologies in order to find common pitfalls and (b) to lessen the effort required from them by providing the suitable technological support. This thesis presents the following main contributions:
• A catalogue that describes 41 pitfalls that ontology developers might include in their ontologies.
• A quality model for ontology diagnose that aligns the pitfall catalogue to existing quality models for semantic technologies.
• The design and implementation of 48 methods for detecting 33 out of the 41 pitfalls defined in the catalogue.
• A system called OOPS! (OntOlogy Pitfall Scanner!) that allows ontology engineers to (semi)automatically diagnose their ontologies.
According to the feedback gathered and satisfaction tests carried out, the approach developed and presented in this thesis effectively helps users to increase the quality of their ontologies. At the time of writing this thesis, OOPS! has been broadly accepted by a high number of users worldwide and has been used around 3000 times from 60 different countries. OOPS! is integrated with third-party software and is locally installed in private enterprises being used both for ontology development activities and training courses.
Detecting Good Practices and Pitfalls when Publishing Vocabularies on the Web María Poveda Villalón
The uptake of Linked Data (LD) has promoted the proliferation of datasets and their associated ontologies bringing their semantic to the data being published. These ontologies should be evaluated at different stages, both during their development and their publication. As important as correctly modelling the intended part of the world to be captured in an ontology, is publishing, sharing and facilitating the (re)use of the obtained model. In this paper, 11 evaluation characteristics, with respect to publish, share and facilitate the reuse, are proposed. In particular, 6 good practices and 5 pitfalls are presented, together with their associated detection methods. In addition, a grid-based rating system is generated showing the results of analysing the vocabularies gathered in LOV repository. Both contributions, the set of evaluation characteristics and the grid system, could be useful for ontologists in order to reuse existing LD vocabularies or to check the one being built.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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:

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
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).
