Towards an Authoritative Global Data Infrastructure: Connecting Libraries wit...Lars G. Svensson
With Fake News and Alternative Facts being part of the everyday agenda, the notion of trustworthy data is getting increasingly important. Government agencies have an important role to play here as suppliers of authoritative information. In this presentation, held in the Edinburgh University Library on February 27, 2017, I started out outlining what data we publish in the German National Library and then go on to explore how this information can be interesting to other government agencies and what information they publish can be interesting for libraries.

Presentation by Hans Arents at seminar 1 held on 4 March 2021, which addresses life-events in public service delivery: what and how? This event takes place in the framework of a series of webinars organised by the SIGMA Programme, a joint initiative of the OECD and EU, principally financed by the EU, on the role of life events in end-to-end public service delivery.
The development of Smart Cities is becoming increasingly important in the creation of intelligent ecosystems. The primary objective of Smart Cities is to enhance the quality of life of citizens while also engaging companies to work towards achieving mission zero. However, the question arises as to how this can be achieved. How can technology, urban needs, and mission zero objectives be effectively interconnected in a city setting?
Learn more about Smart City ecosystems powered by FIWARE, Smart City solutions and technologies to improve citizens life and at the end fulfilling mission zero together by the power of technology.
Be part of a discussion for future cities powered by FIWARE.

It is known today that unstructured data can present key challenges to the digital transformation journey and the path to automation. Companies are seeking to ensure that the agility and speed from today’s smart phones and tablets are not stopped by missing interfaces or legacy technology. A few successful companies have learned how to work with and around their legacy systems and tap into the value of unstructured data.

Knowledge Graph Conference 2021
Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), which was introduced as early as in 2006, has since gone on to establish a vital community and is currently one of the few semantic wiki solutions still in existence. SMW is an extension of MediaWiki, the software used for Wikipedia and many other projects, resulting in a largely sustainable codebase and ecosystem. There are many reasons why SMW should not be overlooked by the knowledge graph community:
SMW is capable of directly connecting to several triple stores (Blazegraph, Virtuoso, Jena), which is why it can be considered an interface for entering data into knowledge graphs.
SMW can use its internal relational database (or ElasticSearch), enabling users to build simple knowledge graphs without in-depth knowledge about triple stores.
SMW has the built-in capability of exporting to RDF including building complete RDF data dumps that can be imported into existing knowledge graphs.
SMW has the capability to reuse existing ontologies by importing vocabularies and providing unique identifiers.
The explicit semantic content of Semantic MediaWiki is formally interpreted in the OWL DL ontology language and is made available in XML/RDF format.
A simple internal query language is available to query the internal knowledge graph from within SMW, without the requirement of having a SPARQL endpoint. However, extensions for implementing SPARQL in SMW are available as well.
SMW has the capability to enable data curation for experienced users responsible for the ontology as well as simple form-based input for regular users that can easily populate the KG with data.
There are several approaches to visualizing data in SMW, thus making the knowledge graph visible and interactive.
Implementing custom ontologies in SMW is quite easy, everything is built-in wiki pages (e.g. definition of properties and datatypes, forms and templates).
SMW has low barriers to implementation as it is a clean extension to MediaWiki, which is PHP software running on regular web hosts.
In the talk, I will give an overview of the mentioned aspects and highlight some main differences to Wikibase – which is an alternative approach for managing structured data in MediaWiki – as well as the current limitations of SMW.

Rethinking public sector data ecosystems - Open Government Data, Semantic Med...Bernhard Krabina
In the session the question will be discussed how data from the public sector is generated and made publicly available. Very often, cumbersome processes are in place until finally data (e. g. from official statistics) reach Wikipeda. Often this is done through publication in Open Government Data portals and voluntary efforts to add official data as source in Wikidata.
In the talk, a redesign of the ecosystem of how public sector data is generated, distributed and made available will be presented, facilitating Semantic MediaWiki as data tool. The relation to Wikidata/Wikibase, Open Governmen Data portals and official statistics will be discussed.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

22. Performance Management
• we only have data on budget and spending
– KDZ Quicktest as indicator on financial soundness
• we only have data from municipalities (yet)
• performance oriented data is not connected (yet)
• data is either
– not available at all
– not openly available
– not detailed enough
So we need, more Open Government Data!
most of the individual project cover 1 or 2 years
1 of them covers current data
We need to move from individual projects to services.
We need to empower municipalities to do open data in a very simple way.
The map of Austria with participating municipalities when whe started in 2013 with three pilot municipalities. Ad look what happened since then.
The main visualisation is the well known tree-map with the political view. It covers three levels. From „Education“ to „PreSchool education“ and then to „Kindergarten“.
The economic view show the types of expenditure (e. g. personnell, financial)
The detailed view shows the development of spending and revenues over time, back to 2001.
A special visualisation „Where does Tax Money go“ analyzes for what areas taxpayers money has to be used. (Areas where fees cover the costs are excluded).
The KDZ quicktest is a set of 5 indicators that sum up to a quicktest value indicating the financial soundness of a municipality.
Debts and liabilities are displayed over time.
The city of Salzburg organized a youth congress in 2014 – we developed a short online game to be played at the venue.
Young people were asked a question about municipal spending. They had to guess an amount.
For a special visualisation of grants and subsidies, the municipalities have to provide additional data that is not included in the usual spending reports. Currently Salzburg, Linz, Bregenz and Wels use this service.
For the city of Salzburg, data in investments in infrastructure is displayed on a map.
