The document discusses grabbing director data from JSON results and parsing it into a formatted string with officer IDs, names, positions, start dates, and end dates separated by colons and each director separated by pipes. It recommends renaming the newly created columns and explains that filling down will copy values from preceding rows into blank rows in a column.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

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).

16. Starting with the first row,
Fill down will fill blank rows
in a column with the value
In the preceding row…
(so we can fill down company names and ID
columns for each corresponding director)
A recipe for grabbing director information from OpenCorporatesusing OpenRefinegiven an OpenCorporates company ID or OpenCorporates company page URL For more information, contact: schoolOfData.org
Here’s the start of thing we’re starting with – a list of companies…
Here’s the sort of thing we want – lists of directors associated with each company (where that information is available).
The first step is to create a web address/URL to call the OpenCorporates API and ask it for data about a particular company. OpenRefine can create a new column populated with the contents of calls made to a URL contained in, or generated from, another column.
The URLs should take the form:http://api.opencorporates.com/companies/JURISDICTION/COMPANY_IDIf you already have company page URLs in a column, add column based on that column using:value.replace(‘http://’,’http://api”)If you have JURISDICTION/COMPANY_ID in a column, use the formula:“http://api.opencorporates.com/companies/”+value
The data comes back as JSON data, which we will need to process.Each JSON result contains the data for a single company. The data relating to the directors can be found as a list down the path value.parseJson()['results']['company']['officers’]
Let’s parse the JSON data an put the directors information into another column…
What we are aiming for is a contrivance based on the form:32866743::SIMON ALAN CONSTANT-GLEMAS::director::2010-04-07::null32866744::KARIN JACQUELINE HAWKINS::director::2006-01-17::2012-02-2232866745::ANDREW WILLIAM LONGDEN::director::2003-11-03::null…where we list director ID, name, position, appointment date, termination date.
This function will parse the data into string with the form:32866743::SIMON ALAN CONSTANT-GLEMAS::director::2010-04-07::null||32866744::KARIN JACQUELINE HAWKINS::director::2006-01-17::2012-02-22||32866745::ANDREW WILLIAM LONGDEN::director::2003-11-03::null||…The function reads as follows: “for each officer, join their ID, name, position, start date and end data with ::, then join each of these director descriptions using ||”.The use of two different – and hopefully unique – delimiters means we can split the data on each delimiter type separately.
The parsed data is put into a new column in this combined list form.
We can then split the data so that we create a new row for each director using the delimiter we defined: ||
Note that values from the other columns will not be copied into any newly created rows – we will have to do that ourselves either now, or later.
For each director, we now want to split their details out across several columns, one for each data field (ID, name, position, appointment date, termination date).
We can do this by splitting on the other separator type we used: ::
The newly created columns are labeled with automatically generated names. It would probably make sense to rename them to something slightly more convenient.
Finally, we can do a little more tidying. For any columns we want to export, such as company name, or company ID, we can Fill down using the corresponding values from the original row the directors’ information was pulled from.
