Ontology Engineering at Scale for Open City Data SharingOscar Corcho
Seminar at the School of Informatics, The University of Edinburgh.
In this talk we will present how we are applying ontology engineering principles and tools for the development of a set of shared vocabularies across municipalities in Spain, so that they can start homogenising the generation and publication of open data that may be useful for their own internal reuse as well as for third parties who want to develop applications reusing open data once and deploy them for all municipalities. We will discuss on the main challenges for ontology engineering that arise in this setting, as well as present the work that we have done to integrate ontology development tools into common software development infrastructure used by those who are not experts in Ontology Engineering.

Data Governance and the Internet of ThingsDATAVERSITY
Several years back there were already more devices connected to the internet than people. It is estimated that more than 20 billion devices will be connected by 2020 and that number will never fall. Connecting to the internet implies the transfer of data. The numbers of devices and what they transfer imply a lot of data. Who is governing all of this data?
Join Bob Seiner for this month’s installment of Real-World Data Governance to expand your appreciation of the data issues that pertain to the Internet of Things (IoT). You may be surprised how much of what you already know about data governance applies to governing this new definition, production and use of data.
In this webinar Bob will talk about:
•Clear Description of IoT Focused on the data
•Addressing Data Management Concerns
•Applications of IoT Data
•Dimensions of IoT Data Processes and Quality
•Risk Associated with Interoperability

Survey on metadata management and governance in EuropeSemic.eu
In his presentation, Mr. Dekkers underlined the importance of structural metadata. According to him it is essential to find out what are the requirements, what are the costs from a resource point of view and what are the foreseen benefits. As a result of the survey, several good practices and recommendations have been identified which can support the efforts to improve metadata management and governance in Europe.

The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Challenges of implementing and using data specifications
Governance & management of data specifications
What is the situation in EU Institutions and Member States
Good practices and recommendations
What’s next
2
3. The ever-increasing volume of information exchanged
within and between different organisations at both
national and EU level requires setting up solutions that
facilitate its automatic processing.
A data specification describes or defines other data.
It can consist of, among others, data models, reference data, and identifier schemas.
Technological developments alone cannot guarantee
a greater interoperability in the context of those
information exchanges.
4. CHALLENGES OF IMPLEMENTING AND USING DATA
SPECIFICATIONS
4
Limited or uncoordinated development and use
Interoperability conflicts at the schema and at the value levels.
Lack of governance
Opaque decision-making with regards to the roles and responsibilities involved in the
lifecycle of data specifications
Lack of enterprise-level data management
Errors and unavailability of business critical Core Data Models and Reference Data.
5. GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT OF DATA SPECIFICATIONS
DELIVERS TANGIBLE BENEFITS
Increased quality and traceability of the information exchanged
Greater re-use of data and data specifications
Reduced risk of duplication
Increased trust towards the information to be exchanged
Savings derived from the re-use of already existing information

10. WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN EU INSTITUTIONS
AND MEMBER STATES
★ The importance, the expected benefits and the relevance of governance and management of data
standards is often not clear to the management of the organisation. Therefore there is a lack of
support from the leadership.
★ The work on developing models for governance and management of data standards comes at the
right moment: is not too early in the sense that it can already build on emerging practice, and it is
not too late as many organisations still have issues and questions where we can help.
★ Existing tools need to be complemented with additional functionalities to enhance the potential
of share and re-use of data standards, e.g. import and export of reference data using standard
formats (e.g. SKOS-XL).
10
[More…]
11. GOOD PRACTICES & RECOMMENDATIONS
★ The roles concerning legislation, strategy, functionality and operations are clearly distinguished and
assigned to designated bodies.
★ The involvement of direct stakeholders in the governance process ensures that the interests of the
stakeholders are taken into account which maximises buy-in and take-up.
★ Voluntary sharing and re-use of data specifications works best if stakeholders are aware of the
advantages of collaboration and of the benefits for interoperability.
★ Legislation should be formulated on a sufficiently high level and should not specify details, which
should be specified as part of the implementation and made available from an authoritative source
to which the legislation can refer.
11
[More…]
12. GOOD PRACTICES & RECOMMENDATIONS
★ Application of standard for management, e.g. ISO/IEC 11179, ISO 19135, and documentation, e.g.
ADMS and SKOS, creates a well-structured environment.
★ The management processes should be documented.
★ Good change management processes are based in stability where possible without sacrificing
flexibility where needed and take into account an alignment between the life cycles of data standards
and software development.
★ Changes in data standards are well planned and tracked, preserving backward compatibility as
much as possible; in cases where disruptive changes are unavoidable, these changes should be
planned and communicated well in advance.
12
[More…]
13. GOOD PRACTICES & RECOMMENDATIONS
★ Owners of data specifications should be made aware of the importance of clear licensing
arrangements that specify unambiguously under which conditions the metadata can be reused.
Open licenses are recommended.
★ Data specifications should have persistent unique identifiers. Content negotiation is used to
manage and provide different types of formats from the same URI.
★ Tools used for supporting governance and management of data specifications should be based on
open standards and should be interoperable.

16. WHAT IS SEMIC ABOUT?
★ Supporting the development, dissemination and use of core
vocabularies and data specifications
★ Developing processes and guidelines for information
governance and management, and supporting related
policy implementation projects and initiatives in the EU
institutions and Member States
★ Building capacity in information management, with a focus
on semantic interoperability, in Public Administrations across
