Towards a Graph of Ancient World Data & an Ecosystem of Gazetteers
Pelagios 3 is a 2-year project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to annotate geographic documents predating 1492 by associating places mentioned in them with entries from various gazetteers. It aims to grow a graph of linked ancient world data by annotating over 39 partners from 6 countries have contributed around 830,000 annotations so far. The project develops tools to annotate documents and link gazetteer entries, and defines profiles for publishing gazetteer links and metadata online to allow cross-searching.
Digital Exposure of English Place-Names (DEEP) -Stuart Dunn
This document discusses the Digital Exposure of English Place-Names project. It notes that the project has digitized over 80 years of scholarship on English place-names, including 32 counties, 86 volumes, over 6 million place-name forms, and thousands of bibliographic references. It explains that place-names are dynamic, attested, contested, and documented entities that require crowd-sourcing to correct errors, validate data, add missing geographic information, and enrich point data with additional details. The document also announces a new scoping study to research crowd-sourcing models for enriching humanities data.

GIS Day 2015 - New Light Technologies, Inc.
GIS combines maps with databases to allow users to analyze geographic information and relationships. It represents real world features as points, lines, and polygons on maps and can overlay multiple data layers. Attributes associated with each feature allow users to perform spatial analysis and answer questions about locations and relationships between different features. GIS is used in many fields including transportation, natural resources, city planning, public health, and more to help with tasks like emergency response, business planning, and environmental analysis.
Public Meeting January 2012
The William and Mary Center for Archaeological Research and Hanbury Preservation Consulting were selected to conduct historic property surveys in Wytheville. They will conduct a reconnaissance survey of 355 properties and intensive surveys of 20 properties. The survey will collect data on the properties to support preservation, tourism, and planning efforts. The fieldwork will be conducted through September and draft reports will be completed by November. Community members are encouraged to provide input and stay involved in the project.
I ♥ Maps: Quantum GIS + Python
Quantum GIS (QGIS) is an open-source, highly customizable geospatial application that's great for data exploration, manipulation, and cartographic preparation -- in other words, it's software that allows you to make detailed, aesthetically-pleasing maps for free!
QGIS is also *extremely* script-able with Python, and integrates with a large number of database and analysis backends (GRASS, R, PostGIS, etc.). In this talk, Paige Bailey will be giving a short overview of QGIS; detailing a few mapping case studies; then showing how to leverage additional functionality by writing custom Python plugins.

Aerial Photography in Archaeology
Lidar uses light detection and ranging to accurately map land surfaces at high resolution, enabling archaeologists to detect features that were previously difficult to identify except through intensive fieldwork. While satellite imagery can identify archaeological sites, its cost and lower resolution mean aerial photography remains the primary data source used in England. Online mapping tools provide wider access to imagery, though their most detailed views are from aerial photos rather than satellites. English Heritage continues using aerial photos as a key information source while also monitoring new remote sensing technologies.

PIAS 2013-GIS.pptxfskjczjsbchdbfscnnND dHSA
This document defines geographic information systems (GIS) and describes their key components and uses. GIS is defined as a technology that uses hardware, software and information management strategies to capture, store, analyze and display spatially-referenced data to improve decision-making. It involves a spatially-referenced computer database and applications software. GIS is unique in that it handles spatial data referenced by location, and connects activities based on spatial proximity. Common GIS applications include facilities management, environmental analysis, transportation routing, health analysis, and more.
Qualitative GIS by Rob Berry @rural_gis
This document summarizes a presentation on qualitative GIS (QGIS) given by Robert Berry. It begins by providing context on traditional GIS as a quantitative tool and then outlines the emergence of QGIS, which uses mixed methods to incorporate qualitative data. Several case studies are described that demonstrate approaches to mapping interviews and literary texts. The document concludes that early QGIS research is showing potential for exploring qualitative data spatially but cautions that a truly qualitative GIS may not be possible and more theoretical development is still needed.

ArchaeoSTOR Map: Publishing archaeological geodata on the web
http://dx.doi.org/10.1145/2345316.2345355
Modern field science, including archaeology, utilizes a mas- sive amount of digital data captured by state-of-the-art mea- surement instruments. Large archaeological data sets may include images, geospatial data, analytical data, and meta- data. Geospatial information plays a central role in the life cycle of those data; information is collected, organized, and published for analyses and visualization as final output us- ing geospatial data as an index. The web is an ideal place to publish scientific data and promote diverse collaboration, and thus we need a system to publish digital archaeologi- cal data efficiently so that it is also integrated in our data management workflow. In order to realize this goal, we designed and implemented a web-based application named ArcheoSTOR Map, which visualizes and publishes raw ar- chaeological data onto a map.
GIS data analysis
This document discusses GIS data analysis techniques including raster to vector conversion and spatial analysis through vector overlay. It provides information on various data types and models in GIS. Key analysis techniques covered are raster and vector data overlays, terrain mapping and analysis, and spatial interpolation methods. Specific vector and raster overlay methods like point-in-polygon, line-in-polygon and polygon-on-polygon are described. Spatial data editing techniques involving digitization errors and topological/non-topological editing are also summarized.

This document discusses a hack day event called "ArkHack" where participants worked to link archaeological, cultural heritage, and environmental data. It describes efforts to map environmental data from the SEAD database to linked open data formats. The document then discusses potential uses of linked data from multiple sources to reconstruct past landscapes and environments over time through techniques like paleoenvironmental modeling. Challenges and prerequisites for more fully realizing this vision are also outlined.
Kansa SAA 2014 Archaeological Data on Vastly Different Scales
Eric Kansa took the lead on presenting “Navigating and Visualizing Archaeological Data on Vastly Different Scales” for coauthors Yerka, Kansa, Anderson, DeMuth and Wells. Archaeological research can focus closely on individual objects, or cover a broad span of time over multiple millennia and continents. Data indexing managed by Open Context for DINAA facilitates these types of multiscalar research, hierarchically nesting both temporal and geographic data with a simplified interface and spectacular visualization.

The document discusses maps and map projections. It provides information on different types of map projections like cylindrical, conic, and planar projections. It explains key concepts like latitude, longitude, datums, and how different projections distort shapes and distances in different ways in order to portray the spherical Earth on a flat surface. No single projection can preserve all geometric properties.
GeoSemantic Technologies for Archaeological Resources
The semantics of heritage data is a growing area of interest with ontologies such as the CIDOC-CRM providing semantic frameworks and exemplary projects such as STAR and STELLAR demonstrating what can be done using semantic technologies applied to archaeological resources. In the world of the Semantic Web, advances regarding geosemantics have emerged to extend research more fully into the spatio-temporal domain, for example extending the SPARQL standard to produce GeoSPARQL. Importantly, the use of semantic technologies, particularly the structure of RDF, aligns with graph and network based approaches, providing a rich fusion of techniques for geospatial analysis of heritage data expressed in such a manner.
This paper gives an overview of the ongoing G-STAR research project (GeoSemantic Technologies for Archaeological Resources) with reference to broader sectoral links particularly to commercial archaeology. Particular attention is paid to examining the integration of spatial data into the heritage Global Graph and the relationship between Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) and Linked Data, moving beyond notions of ‘location’ as simple nodes, placenames and coordinates towards fuller support for complex geometries and advanced spatial reasoning. Finally, the potential impacts of such research is discussed with particular reference to the current practice of commercial archaeology, access to and publishing of (legacy, big) data, and leveraging network models to better understand and manage change within archaeological information systems.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Apps Break Data
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?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
