Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

2. WHAT IS OXFORD BIBLIOGRAPHIES
ONLINE (OBO)?
• The Oxford Bibliographies Online is both a bibliographic tool for finding secondary
sources and as well as an encyclopedic listing for each entry. The encyclopedia
entry is written by an expert in the topic, who also compiles and curates a related
bibliography. In addition to the sheer value of functioning as an encyclopedia for
users, OBO is valuable for its transparency with regards to when it was created and
updated, ensuring the user can determine whether the material is up-to-date.
• OBO covers a variety of subtopics, or subjects, from African American Studies to
Sociology. For the purpose of this presentation, we will focus on the subject of
Medieval Studies.
3. HOW TO ACCESS
• Oxford Bibliographies Online is an online subscription database targeted toward
adults making academic enquiries.
• To log in, sign in with your institutional ID and password. It is easiest to do this on the
library's main page.
• Afterward, either search using the task bar or navigate to the list of databases.
• Within OBO, users can create a free account that will allow for saving and
tracking entries.
4. WHY TO USE OXFORD BIBLIOGRAPHIES
ONLINE
• Oxford Bibliographies Online provides an excellent starting point for researching a
new topic.
• For example, if one reads the name "Nicholas Bozon" and needs to learn more
about the man to further the research, OBO provides a good start:
• There is a brief encyclopedic entry introducing the user to Nicholas Bozon and why he is
relevant. This will often list any extant primary sources and where those can be found (in
this case, manuscripts in the British Library).
• There follows a bibliography of general secondary sources on Nicholas Bozon.
5. WHY TO USE OXFORD BIBLIOGRAPHIES
ONLINE, CONT.
• After the general, introductory entry and bibliography, the topic is often divided
into smaller, narrower discussions, each with a brief entry describing the subtopic
and then a bibliography.
• Nicholas Bozon's subsections are Sermon Exempla, Short Moralizing
Verse, Versified Proverbs, Allegories of Pride, Passion Poems, Hagiographic Poems,
and Devotional Lyrics
• Each subsection has a description and a bibliography, allowing the user to pursue
narrower topics.
• It is easy to peruse related topics using a sidebar. In the case of
Nicholas Bozon, this is Late Medieval Preaching, Sermons, The Cloud of
Unknowing and Related Texts, and The Vernon Manuscript.
6. WHY TO USE OXFORD BIBLIOGRAPHIES
ONLINE, CONT.
• Topics range from the broad, like "Sermons," to the narrow, like an obscure
theological writer like Nicholas Bozon.
• Users can verify the expertise of the scholar writing the encyclopedic entry and see
when the entry was last modified.
• For Nicholas Bozon, the author of the encyclopedia entry and compiler of the
bibliographies is Laurie Postlewate. There is a link to her page on her academic institution
that includes a CV and publications.
• Nicholas Bozon's entry was last updated January 11, 2018. This is important so that users
can check for updated information and bibliographies.
