Broadband world forum service delivery framework KPN presentationAlan Quayle
KPN's presentation at the Broadband World Forum 2010 at the session "Service Delivery Platform Evolution Revolution, Convolution, Amalgamation, Elimination or Virtualization."
KPN vision is to provide services to any device on any network at anytime. Eventually, it moves to "Everything-is-a-Service" model. From a user perspective consistent, on-par (Apple setting the bar) UX is one of the most important buying (and usage) motivation. Customer satisfaction efforts demand co-operation/partnership with others in the value chain, among which are (independent) developers, VARs, users, verticals, etc. Hence, services will encompass assets and capabilities from many different sources. Critical for this paradigm is fulfillment(including activation, registration, log-on), assurance and billing.

2013 06-21 - semic2013 - putting the core vocabularies into practiceGoedertier Stijn
Presentation delivered at the SEMIC 2013 conference about the Linked Open Government Data (LOGD) pilots that we carried out to spike the adoption of the Core Vocabularies.
This document discusses opening up public data to improve transparency and efficiency. It defines public data and outlines principles for publishing public data, such as making it reusable, machine-readable, and available through a single access point. It also provides examples of data that local councils could publish, such as information on communities, businesses, locations, and council services, finances, and performance. Finally, it discusses standards and architectures for aggregating and sharing public data across different areas in a consistent and reusable way.
The document summarizes highlights from the Semantic Interoperability Conference (SEMIC) 2013 held in Dublin. It discusses how semantic technologies can help public administrations exchange information across borders more seamlessly by reusing common standards and vocabularies. The conference highlighted several projects utilizing semantic interoperability, including linking statistical and plant protection data in the EU, integrating maritime domain information, and harmonizing civil registry and trademark data. Key speakers emphasized the benefits of semantic interoperability for enabling more efficient and effective information exchange between governments and providing better public services.
This document discusses linked statistical data and its benefits. It provides an overview of key concepts like open data, linked data, and the W3C RDF DataCube specification. It also presents a case study of a statistical office in Aragon, Spain that has published local government data as linked open data. Publishing data this way allows for easier reuse by both internal and external developers. It facilitates integration with other datasets and enables complex queries across multiple sources. Overall, representing statistical data using semantic web standards like RDF DataCube provides advantages for data sharing and reuse.
The conference report summarizes the SEMIC.EU Yearly Conference 2011 focused on rethinking semantic interoperability through collaboration. The key highlights included:
- Declan Deasy announced new directions for SEMIC.EU including developing e-Government core vocabularies and creating an EU semantic interoperability community of practice.
- Brand Niemann shared the experience of the Semantic Interoperability Community of Practice in the US and emphasized the importance of knowledge centric systems.
- Dr. Stefan Decker discussed opportunities and challenges of using semantic technologies like linked open data and ontologies to improve government data interoperability and access.

Open standards for linked organisations | meeting Estonia - Flemish Governmen...Raf Buyle
The Flemish Government in Belgium has an interoperability program called Open Standards for Linked Organizations (OSLO), which focuses on both technical and semantical interoperability of data and systems used for (digital) government service delivery.
On the semantical level, information is aligned with European standards (ISA² Core Vocabularies and INSPIRE), enriched by data extensions to comply with the local context. On the technical level, we developed RESTFul APIs which build upon the principles of Linked Data.
The API conforms to the Flemish URI standard1, describing how data resources can be exposed using persistent and “cool” URIs2, in line with international best practices. Because of its extensibility and since it is already a standard for data interchange on the web, Flemish Administrations have chosen the Resource Description Framework (RDF) to facilitate the creation and reuse of machine-readable data.
This Slide Deck provides a quick overview of the interoperability programme of the Flemish Government in Belgium. Next, it describes our SHACL implementation strategy in-depth, followed by an evaluation, challenges encountered and how they were addressed. This talk ends with a demo of the Open Source SHACL-validator and future w

Flanders published a data portal containing well over 4000 Open Data Sets, but due to a lack of interoperability, interconnecting to these sources of information remains a challenge. To dissolve the boundaries between these data silos, the Flemish government built a strategy based on Linked Data. In this session they share their strategy and release the 5-star Public Organisations Base Registry. The Flemish Agency for Domestic Governance created an Open Source tool which facilitates a more transparent local decision-making process. Local Council Decisions are often bulky and contain unstructured information. The Open Editor supports administrations to create and publish local decisions without additional efforts as Linked Open Data. The information is suitable to be reused, organized, searched, shared, and displayed in many different ways by the citizen and private sector.
The document discusses base registries, which are authoritative sources of core data used across public administrations and services. Base registries provide reliable information on entities like people, companies, addresses, and roads. Developing and distributing base registry data sources according to linked open data principles allows for efficient, integrated public service delivery by enabling data to be reused across departments and administrative levels. Key benefits include reduced costs, improved relevance of data used, increased transparency, and reducing administrative burden through the "once only" principle of collecting and sharing data. The Address Registry in Flanders is provided as an example base registry that follows these linked open data guidelines.
Linked base Registries | The Scottish Government - Webinar 2017Raf Buyle
The document discusses linked base registries as an enabler for eGovernment in Flanders. It outlines Flanders' strategy called OSLO2 which aims to improve interoperability and reuse of base registry data through semantic agreements and linked open data principles. A key example is Flanders' address registry which contains over 4 million addresses and is available as linked open data through APIs. The approach seeks to facilitate improved public services by making government data more interoperable and accessible.
OSLO | Aan de slag met semantische standaardenRaf Buyle
De Vlaamse overheid zet in op een eenduidige standaard OSLO² voor de uitwisseling van informatie. Via Open Standaarden wisselen overheden en dienstenleveranciers kerninformatie uit tussen de verschillende toepassingen en overstijgen ze de huidige verkokering. Deze sessie geeft een overzicht van hoe de semantiek van OSLO² kernobjecten op de verschillende niveaus gedocumenteerd is en hoe je hiermee aan de slag gaat in je projecten. Vervolgens tonen we stap voor stap hoe je de semantische standaarden integreert in je webservices. Hierbij maken we gebruik van de principes van Linked Data in JSON-services.
Open Belgium 5-star linked open data address registryRaf Buyle
This session reports on the development of the 5-star Linked Open Data Address Register.
The first product released by the Flemish Government in line with the Linked Data principles is the Central Reference Address Database (CRAB), containing well over 4 million addresses and their geographical coordinates. The addresses are synchronised in real time between 308 local governments and the Linked Base registry.
The Public Sector DNA on the web: semantically marking up government portalsRaf Buyle
Base registries contain core public sector data. They are fundamental building blocks in supporting interaction between government and private sector. To enable the private sector to discover, adopt and use information from base registries (e.g. addresses of organizations and public services), the government needs a distribution model. Therefore, the Flemish government is working on a technical strategy to add markup to government portals to embed their ‘DNA’, semantic annotations, on third-party private sector platforms, to dissolve the existing governmental silos and to provide better public services. In this context, this paper reviews a potential strategy to ‘open up’ base registries that combines the best of both worlds: bridging between the schema.org and the European ISA Core vocabularies.
#opentourism - Linked Open Data Publishing and Discovery WorkshopRaf Buyle
This session will bring a solution to one of the main issues in the field of application development for the tourism and leisure sector. A lot of projects fail because the underlying systems and databases are too difficult to connect or because it is too costly to do. We will share and discuss the ‘Open Standard for Tourism Ecosystems Data’, developed by touristic actors in Flanders and a tool for aggregating existing data and mapping it to the tourism vocabulary, which has been tested with local data in the region of West-Flanders.

Open Tourism: The importance of enriching your online content with semantic annotations.
This workshop consists of two parts
1. enriching your online content with semantic annotations
Most webmasters are familiar with HTML tags on their pages. Usually, HTML tags tell the browser how to display to humans the information included in the tag. Semantic annotations can be used by webmasters to mark up their pages in ways that can be understood by the major search engines: Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! and machines in general. In this session international & local experts will explain how you can open-up, semantically enrich and promote your tourism related data and initiatives.
Why Should You Add Schema?
In the first part of this presentation an expert from iMinds will explain the potential of annotating and publishing your data with semantic annotations using vocabularies, such as schema.org and elaborate with alternative options.
How To Add semantic annotations To Your Tourism Website?
So now the question becomes, how do you easily add those semantic annotations to you data on the Web? An expert from iMinds will provide hands-on pointers and an overview of existing vocabularies.
2. Barriers and Solutions to Open Tourism Data
In this first public meeting of the Open Tourism working group, a panel of experts in the field of tourism will discuss specific barriers and solutions on opening up tourism data. A key outcome from this session will be a list of essential datasets and a strategy to engage the different actors. The discussion will be facilitated by the project ‘sustainable mobile tourism guides’, iMinds - Thomas More.
Met semantische webtechnologie kan verspreide kennis gecombineerd worden en toegankelijk gemaakt. Minstens zo interessant zijn de achterliggende principes van samenwerken. Wat kunnen we leren van de disruptieve ontwikkelingen op het web en hoe kunnen we deze toepassen in onze eigen organisatie om op een radicaal nieuwe manier samen te werken?

Slimme brug tussen vastgoedmakelaars en lokale besturenRaf Buyle
Bizlocator wordt een nieuw instrument dat de op de markt aangeboden bedrijfspanden, zal centraliseren. Een dergelijk instrument biedt het lokaal bestuur een essentieel overzicht van wat op de markt beschikbaar is.
Dit aanbod kan op termijn op de websites van lokale besturen ontsloten worden. Het ontbreken van een dergelijk instrument zorgt er vandaag voor dat lokale besturen er vandaag niet op voorzien zijn om ondernemers weg te wijzen in de zoektocht naar een nieuwe passende bedrijfslocatie.
Vanuit de beoogde dialoog tussen ondernemers en lokale besturen wensen we een beter inzicht te krijgen omtrent de vraag bij ondernemers naar bedrijfsruimte. Hiervoor zal Bizlocator de nodige voorzieningen bevatten. Beleidsmatig bemoeilijkt dit gebrek aan informatie over wat beschikbaar is en wat gevraagd wordt een goede besluitvorming binnen de ruimtelijke ordening, economie en werkgelegenheid. Het project wordt zodanig opgezet dat de bedrijfspanden als Open Data ter beschikking gesteld worden.
Om het gebruik door vastgoedmakelaars en lokale besturen te stimuleren worden CIB-Vlaanderen en V-ICT-OR als actieve partners in het project betrokken. Beide partijen hebben meer dan voldoende concrete ervaring binnen hun respectievelijke doelgroep om voor de disseminatie van het project te zorgen.
Open Data | Projectoproep Ondernemingsvriendelijke gemeente 2014Raf Buyle
Een nieuwe projectoproep Ondernemingsvriendelijke gemeente, met een nieuwe focus werd gelanceerd. Voor deze oproep is één miljoen euro voorzien. Voorstellen kunnen worden ingediend tot 1 oktober 2014 om 12u. Nieuw in de procedure is dat er in de loop van de maand mei de mogelijkheid tot een voorbespreking is voorzien.
Deze oproep moet leiden tot nieuwe, kwaliteitsvolle projecten die zo veel mogelijk lokale besturen stimuleren en ondersteunen om hun beleid en dienstverlening beter af te stemmen op de noden en verzuchtingen van de ondernemers. De oproep 2014 focust op het thema Mobiliteit en bereikbaarheid als onderdeel van een ondernemingsvriendelijk beleid, met onder meer aandacht voor de mogelijkheden van Open Data op dat vlak.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

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?
