This document proposes an approach to improve geographic information (GI) interoperability through emergent semantics. It describes using structure preserving semantic matching (SPSM) to find correspondences between semantically related nodes in graph-like representations (e.g. schemas, ontologies) while preserving structural properties. An example matching geo-services requests is provided. Evaluation on synthesized datasets showed average precision and recall of 0.78, demonstrating the potential of the approach. Future work will include extensive evaluation and extending the approach to fully developed spatial data infrastructure ontologies.

The document discusses open geo-spatial data and spatial data infrastructures. It provides an overview of key concepts including open data, geographic information systems (GIS), spatial data formats and standards, and spatial data infrastructure initiatives like INSPIRE which aim to make spatial data interoperable across Europe. The document also discusses global open data efforts like the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) and GEOSS, as well as principles for open data and how data can be made more open and accessible.
This document compares the carbon dioxide emissions of hybrid cars, eating apples and croissants, and following a vegan diet. It estimates that driving a hybrid instead of a non-hybrid would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 360 tons per year. It also estimates that eating apples instead of croissants would reduce emissions by 14.4 tons per year based on consumption of 200 people. Finally, it estimates that following a vegan diet would reduce emissions by 619 tons per year compared to the average diet based on differences in average kilometers traveled per year.
The implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in Europe and similar efforts around the globe to develop spatial data infrastructures and global systems of systems have been focusing largely on the adoption of agreed technologies, standards, and specifications to meet the (systems) interoperability challenge. Addressing the key scientific challenges of humanity in the 21st century requires however a much increased inter-disciplinary effort, which in turn makes more complex demands on the type of systems and arrangements needed to support it. This paper analyses the challenges for inter-disciplinary interoperability using the experience of the EuroGEOSS research project. It argues that inter-disciplinarity requires mutual understanding of requirements, methods, theoretical underpinning and tacit knowledge, and this in turn demands for a flexible approach to interoperability based on mediation, brokering and semantics-aware, cross-thematic functionalities. The paper demonstrates the implications of adopting this approach and charts the trajectory for the evolution of current spatial data infrastructures.

Open Data and Open Government at the local level: an example and thoughts fro...Marco Fioretti
The document discusses several OGP-related initiatives in Italy that promote civic use of open data at the local level. It describes OpenCoesione, which released funding data as open data, and Monithon and ASOC, which enable citizens and students to monitor publicly funded projects by working with this open data. It also discusses a student project in Palermo that compared transportation plans to open data and ultimately convinced the city to release more data. The document advocates engaging a variety of groups with open data and using it to improve processes rather than punish errors.

OpenStreetMap is discussed as an example of an open data ecosystem, where users collaboratively map the world and create tools like Haiti's crisis mapping platform. The document also discusses the Group on Earth Observations and its Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), which shares environmental data between countries. Through GEOSS, the eHabitat model provides data on biodiversity to help protect habitats ranging from Venezuelan forests to plains.
Raimondo Iemma - Open Government Data in Italy - may 2012RaimondoIemma
This document summarizes the state of open government data in Italy. It discusses how some public sector data has been made available as open data through various national and regional portals. However, most public sector information is still not openly available due to various cultural and technical barriers. It provides recommendations for advocates to identify high-value datasets, work with reuse communities, and push for consistent licensing and open formats to maximize the potential of open data in Italy.
This document discusses open data development in Mongolia. It identifies legal and organizational issues that need to be addressed, including the lack of a comprehensive legal framework and data protection policies. Currently, few government datasets are openly available. The National Information Technology Park has started an Open Data Initiative to define policies, standards and licenses. Opening transportation, budget and statistical data from Ulaanbaatar city could help boost open data initiatives in Mongolia by providing a successful case study. Overall progress requires improved data management, technical skills and awareness of open data across government.

The Veneto Region is promoting open data projects to drive more modern and smarter government. Open data can be used to improve decision-making, offer new citizen services, strengthen private sector collaboration, and increase transparency. The region aims to boost economic and social growth by collecting and processing public data. It has launched an open data portal and community portal to make data available and engage stakeholders. Innovation labs will be created to exploit open data and engage groups in co-creating new services and products.
This document discusses open government and open data. It defines open data as data that has no legal barriers, fees, technological barriers, or other restrictions. The benefits of open data include promoting transparency, encouraging citizen participation, enhancing government effectiveness and efficiency, and promoting innovation. Examples are given of public-private partnerships using open data, such as an open data transit project in Massachusetts. Challenges to open data include lack of strategy, cultural barriers, and gaps in legislation and context. The way forward includes developing open government strategies and frameworks, building capacity, working with data sources, and developing open data portals and communities.

Open data benefits governments and citizens by increasing transparency, accountability and engagement. It also enables innovation and economic growth. The document provides examples of how open data has been used to create business opportunities and jobs, improve public services, and develop apps for citizens. It emphasizes that successful open data initiatives require connecting data suppliers to users and engaging stakeholders across sectors through ongoing collaboration.
MONITORING, TRANSPARENCY AND CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT:THE OPENCOESIONE INITIATIVEOpenCoesione
The OpenCoesione initiative provides transparency around EU and national funding for cohesion projects in Italy. It operates a web platform that publishes open data on over 700,000 funded projects totaling €65.2 billion. The platform allows users to search for and view detailed project information. OpenCoesione aims to increase accountability, encourage civic engagement and foster innovative reuse of the data. However, further improvements are still needed, including providing more detailed output and results data for individual projects and strengthening interoperability.
Trentino is building a data-driven public administration by breaking down data silos and sharing data across administrative levels. It has taken several steps since 2012, including learning how to produce and share high quality data according to standards, and integrating the data platforms of municipalities and the province for citizens. Over time, the number of open datasets and their usage has increased significantly. The goal is to structure all published administrative information as reusable, harmonized data to contribute to a shared public sector vocabulary and the digital single market strategy.
This document summarizes a presentation on open data given on June 22, 2012 in Trieste, Italy.

Diètes végétarienne et végétaliste, choix ou nécessité ? je vous parlerai d’une question que j’aime particulièrement. C’est-à-dire, si les diètes végétariennes et végétalistes sont un libre choix ou une nécessité. Je vais maintenant vous présentez un récent évènement qui s’est passé en octobre à Paris : la 15me édition du festival « Veggie Pride ». Si le Veggie Pride met l’accent sur un végétarisme étique (ne pas manger les animaux que sont des êtres « sentients »), dans cette discussion je voudrais porter à votre attention d’autres aspects relatifs à l’écologie et à la santé du choix végétarien pour arriver à comprendre s’il s’agit d’un choix ou bien d’une nécessité.
This document provides an overview of maps, geographic information systems (GIS), and spatial data infrastructures (SDI). It discusses how maps predate writing, how GIS allows analyzing geospatial data through software, and how SDIs facilitate sharing and using spatial data. Key topics covered include GIS data models, common file formats, examples of GIS software, the purpose of the INSPIRE directive, and OpenStreetMap as an open SDI project.
The document discusses open data and its uses. Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone subject to attribution and share-alike requirements. Open data has the potential to unlock $3-5 trillion in economic value annually across sectors when combined with open source tools and humanitarian projects. Barriers to open data include legal, organizational, technical, and contextual issues. The presentation promotes open data principles and releasing datasets publicly through open data portals.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

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.

HCL Notes und Domino Lizenzkostenreduzierung in der Welt von DLAUpanagenda
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-und-domino-lizenzkostenreduzierung-in-der-welt-von-dlau/
DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.
Diese Themen werden behandelt
- Reduzierung der Lizenzkosten durch Auffinden und Beheben von Fehlkonfigurationen und überflüssigen Konten
- Wie funktionieren CCB- und CCX-Lizenzen wirklich?
- Verstehen des DLAU-Tools und wie man es am besten nutzt
- Tipps für häufige Problembereiche, wie z. B. Team-Postfächer, Funktions-/Testbenutzer usw.
- Praxisbeispiele und Best Practices zum sofortigen Umsetzen

83. Entities
Real world: is something that has a distinct,
separate existence, although it need not be a
material (physical) existence. Has a set of
properties, which evolve over time. Example:
Mental: personal (local) model created and
maintained by a person that references and
describes a real world entity.
Digital: capture the semantics of real world
entities, provided by people.

Editor's Notes
http://www.infogineering.net/data-information-knowledge.htm
Knowledge
Firstly, let’s look at Knowledge. Knowledge is what we know. Think of this as the map of the World we build inside our brains. Like a physical map, it helps us knowwhere things are – but it contains more than that. It also contains our beliefs and expectations. “If I do this, I will probably get that.” Crucially, the brain links all these things together into a giant network of ideas, memories, predictions, beliefs, etc.
It is from this “map” that we base our decisions, not the real world itself. Our brains constantly update this map from the signals coming through our eyes, ears, nose, mouth and skin.
You can’t currently store knowledge in anything other than a brain, because a brain connects it all together. Everything is inter-connected in the brain. Computers are not artificial brains. They don’t understand what they are processing, and can’t make independent decisions based upon what you tell them.
There are two sources that the brain uses to build this knowledge - information and data.
Data
Data is/are the facts of the World. For example, take yourself. You may be 5ft tall, have brown hair and blue eyes. All of this is “data”. You have brown hair whether this is written down somewhere or not.
In many ways, data can be thought of as a description of the World. We can perceive this data with our senses, and then the brain can process this.
Human beings have used data as long as we’ve existed to form knowledge of the world.
Until we started using information, all we could use was data directly. If you wanted to know how tall I was, you would have to come and look at me. Our knowledge was limited by our direct experiences.
Information
Information allows us to expand our knowledge beyond the range of our senses. We can capture data in information, then move it about so that other people can access it at different times.
Here is a simple analogy for you.
If I take a picture of you, the photograph is information. But what you look like is data.
I can move the photo of you around, send it to other people via e-mail etc. However, I’m not actually moving you around – or what you look like. I’m simply allowing other people who can’t directly see you from where they are to know what you look like. If I lose or destroy the photo, this doesn’t change how you look.
So, in the case of the lost tax records, the CDs were information. The information was lost, but the data wasn’t. Mrs Jones still lives at 14 Whitewater road, and she was still born on 15th August 1971.
The Infogineering Model (below) explains how these interact…
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-data-charter/g8-open-data-charter-and-technical-annex
Principle 1: Open Data by Default
11) We recognise that free access to, and subsequent re-use of, open data are of significant value to society and the economy.
12) We agree to orient our governments towards open data by default.
13) We recognise that the term government data is meant in the widest sense possible. This could apply to data owned by national, federal, local, or international government bodies, or by the wider public sector.
14) We recognise that there is national and international legislation, in particular pertaining to intellectual property, personally-identifiable and sensitive information, which must be observed.
15) We will:
establish an expectation that all government data be published openly by default, as outlined in this Charter, while recognising that there are legitimate reasons why some data cannot be released.
2.Principle 2: Quality and Quantity
16) We recognise that governments and the public sector hold vast amounts of information that may be of interest to citizens.
17) We also recognise that it may take time to prepare high-quality data, and the importance of consulting with each other and with national, and wider, open data users to identify which data to prioritise for release or improvement.
18) We will:
release high-quality open data that are timely, comprehensive, and accurate. To the extent possible, data will be in their original, unmodified form and at the finest level of granularity available;
ensure that information in the data is written in plain, clear language, so that it can be understood by all, though this Charter does not require translation into other languages;
make sure that data are fully described, so that consumers have sufficient information to understand their strengths, weaknesses, analytical limitations, and security requirements, as well as how to process the data; and
release data as early as possible, allow users to provide feedback, and then continue to make revisions to ensure the highest standards of open data quality are met.
3.Principle 3: Usable by All
19) We agree to release data in a way that helps all people to obtain and re-use it.
20) We recognise that open data should be available free of charge in order to encourage their most widespread use.
21) We agree that when open data are released, it should be done without bureaucratic or administrative barriers, such as registration requirements, which can deter people from accessing the data.
22) We will:
release data in open formats wherever possible, ensuring that the data are available to the widest range of users for the widest range of purposes; and
release as much data as possible, and where it is not possible to offer free access at present, promote the benefits and encourage the allowance of free access to data. In many cases this will include providing data in multiple formats, so that they can be processed by computers and understood by people.
4.Principle 4: Releasing Data for Improved Governance
23) We recognise that the release of open data strengthens our democratic institutions and encourages better policy-making to meets the needs of our citizens. This is true not only in our own countries but across the world.
24) We also recognise that interest in open data is growing in other multilateral organisations and initiatives.
25) We will:
share technical expertise and experience with each other and with other countries across the world so that everyone can reap the benefits of open data; and
be transparent about our own data collection, standards, and publishing processes, by documenting all of these related processes online.
5.Principle 5: Releasing Data for Innovation
26) Recognising the importance of diversity in stimulating creativity and innovation, we agree that the more people and organisations that use our data, the greater the social and economic benefits that will be generated. This is true for both commercial and non-commercial uses.
27) We will:
work to increase open data literacy and encourage people, such as developers of applications and civil society organisations that work in the field of open data promotion, to unlock the value of open data;
empower a future generation of data innovators by providing data in machine-readable formats.

Till now everything is happiness and joy, like these kids in tel aviv, even with a hard weather, they see the potential to enjoy and use the most basic instruments fhat they have at their disposal to have fun, provided that their goal is to have fun..
BUT, working in an open data initialtive can be scary too when time comes, and there are several issues in several categories that we need to deal with if we are to have a great project, let us consider that each issue is a kid, that witll trick or treat us in the project, and that if we are not ready, they will play tricks on us.
Working in a open data project is like halloween, you must know that the kids will come and tick or traet you, and you must be prepared with candies (solutions), and that possibly, each kid will ask for a different kind of candie, actually, for sure they will
Open Nuts!
Open Government Data activities in Austria
Gregor Eibl*, Brigitte Lutz**
How does opening government data compare to opening nuts? Opening government data can
be compared well with the act of opening a nut.
The kernel of the walnut for example, which is protected by the hard shell and is a valuable
food for animals, is a calorie-rich winter food supply for birds, squirrels and other rodents.
Let’s assume that government data is a rich supply for third parties (businesses, NGOs, citizens,
universities, other government agencies…), this information resource is often protected well from
third parties. Making this data available and easy to use is one of the core claims in the debate of
open government. You will see later in this reflection that the principles of open government data
all have the aim to make these valuable information resources easily available.
Just like cracking a nut to access the rich fruit.
In this reflection we will shortly talk about the hard shell, which the open government data
movement will have to crack. First the activities, which shows what Austria has done so far to
crack the shell and remove the barriers and finally the first fruits, which became available through
the efforts of opening the nut itself.
1. The Hard Shell of Open Government Data
Figure 1 depicts some barriers encountered during the implementation of opening government
data in Austrian public administrations. Only through the opening process of government data,
data islands were identified, which had to be integrated and harmonized. Other data sources are consciously kept secret, which explains the resistance of some data
owners. Arguments were raised, that opening can have unpredictable results (overwhelming
feedback, new requirements,…) about the quality of data or new technical features.
On the other hand administrations have to deal with missing resources, like lower budgets in the
time of financial crisis, additional distribution cost with the open data portals and missing human
resources capable of handling the new tasks.
Raw data eliminates the possibility to publish only “censored” and non-critical data and
information. Some administrations have concerns to publish their data in a quality that was
sufficient for internal purposes, but not enough for the broad public audience.

The Open Knowledge Foundation (OKF) is a non-profit organisation founded in 2004 and dedicated to promoting open data and open content in all their forms – including government data, publicly funded research and public domain cultural content. The OKF CKAN project is the world’s leading open source data portal platform.
CKAN (Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network) is a powerful data management system that makes data accessible – by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. CKAN is aimed at data publishers (national and regional governments, companies and organizations) wanting to make their data open and available.
