Aleksandar Kapisoda: The semantic approach for tracking scientific publications
The document discusses Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma's development of a publication tracking system using semantic technologies. It aims to automatically import publication data, perform data curation, and enable advanced visualization and analysis. Some key challenges include cleaning noisy author and institution data, adding internal BI data, and linking to external impact factors. The system utilizes tools like PoolParty, Virtuoso, and SPARQL to semantically enrich and link publication data. It is meant to provide advanced analytics beyond what was possible in their previous manually curated system.

Economics, Beauty and Harmony
Martin de Wit presented at a colloquium in Indonesia on analyzing Google search trends related to beauty from 2010 to 2013. He found that searches for "beauty" increased in topics like religion, science, and literature, but decreased in economics.

The presentation examined search interest in beauty and harmony across different domains to provide nuanced insights on changing interests over time.
Global crises and economic implications
The document summarizes a lecture on understanding the global crises and their implications for economics. It outlines the impacts of the crises such as malnutrition, food riots, and child poverty. It examines various views on the causes including instrumental, structural, moral, and ontological perspectives. It discusses economic theories from mainstream and heterodox schools.

Talk wfs 6 may 2010 presentation final notes
Sustainability in its shortest definition is the capacity to endure. To endure one does not only need material goods, but also a mental and spiritual resilience and set of skills on how to cope. When the quality and quantity of our material goods and biophysical environment starts to change, when our fellow South Africans are sick and dying prematurely and when our economy does not deliver the needed health and wealth to all of us, our hope for a better future is severely tested. It is the integrity of our hope that could and should be playing a fundamental role in a possible transition towards sustainability.
In this talk ladies and gentleman, the question of South Africa’s sustainability is under scrutiny. I will first show you that from an ecological, from a human well-being, and even from an economic perspective there are several warning lights on the biophysical and material sustainability of this country. I will also show the remarkable optimism we have as South Africans and highlight the importance of hope. Third, and finally I will argue that we as humans have an ethical responsibility in the individual and collective choices we make. It is our attitudes and behaviours that sustain or destroy.
Florian Bauer: Using open data thesauri to connect climate platforms
This document discusses connecting climate knowledge platforms through standardized tagging. It notes that the amount of climate change information has exploded in recent decades but finding the right information remains difficult. Standardizing terminology through an open data thesaurus in multiple languages could increase consistency and connections between climate websites. The document demonstrates a climate tagger tool that scans text and tags it based on terms in an expansive climate thesaurus to automatically add related information and link documents. It invites participants to join the climate knowledge brokers community and use such tools and thesaurus to better connect climate data and information.
Lieke Verhelst: Ontology Development ..the Lean way
This document discusses developing ontologies using a lean methodology. It advocates starting with a very simple model and incrementally increasing complexity based on user requirements. The lean process involves identifying user needs, creating a basic model, then relating, designing, and coding elements in a step-by-step process. User involvement and feedback is important at each stage of development.
Big Data – From Strategy to Production
Presentation: Big Data – From Strategy to Production - Mario Meir-Huber, Big Data Leader Eastern Europe, Teradata GmbH (AT), at the European Data Economy Workshop taking place back to back to SEMANTiCS2015 on 15 September 2015 in Vienna
Christian economists, environmental externalities and ecological scale
Christian economists hold vastly different views on environmental issues that stem from underlying theological divisions. Three typical responses to ecological crises are analyzed: internalizing external costs, acknowledging limits to growth, and taking a pluralistic approach. There are also deep disagreements over policy issues like climate change. While some argue Christianity promotes stewardship and sustainability, others are more skeptical or indifferent.
The document examines alternatives like prioritizing justice and a Christ-centric ethic of discernment. It argues Christian economists should grow in wisdom about complex economic and ecological interactions, finding unity and appreciating particulars. Their task is the careful ordering of love according to Christ's objective reality, involving moral learning case by case. Resolving tensions requires root

It provides examples of how companies in different industries have successfully used social media for sales and marketing.

Stephen Buxton: When RDF alone is not enough - triples, documents, and data i...Semantic Web Company
This document discusses the benefits of combining RDF triples, documents, and structured data in MarkLogic. It begins with an overview of semantics and RDF triples, then discusses how MarkLogic allows storing triples along with JSON, XML, and binary documents. The presentation notes that triples, documents, and data can be used complementarily to represent different types of information, but are also "intertwined" in MarkLogic with triples representing annotations and metadata for documents and data. Examples of use cases for combined semantic and content applications are also provided.Is there a case for investing in ecosystem services?
Martin de Wit gave the opening remarks at the Cambridge Resilience Forum on Ecosystem Services. He discussed how Nelson Mandela found solace and a sense of freedom from gardening in prison on Robben Island. De Wit noted the link between healthy nature and human well-being. He highlighted that the economic value of ecosystem services in Cape Town is estimated between R2-6 billion per year, including avoided damage costs, tourism spending, and replacement costs. However, more investment is needed to maintain these services due to their public good nature and lack of incentive for private investors.
The Power of Story: Building High-Performance Teams From the Inside Out
The document discusses how stories can be used to build high-performance teams. It argues that stories are more memorable than facts alone and can be used to create trust, reveal vision, clarify goals, and create alignment within teams. The document provides examples of three types of individual storylines (belief, purpose, reward) and three types of group storylines (teaming, culture, environment) that can be crafted and shared with teams.
