Data Architecture Best Practices for Today’s Rapidly Changing Data LandscapeDATAVERSITY
With the rise of the data-driven organization, the pace of innovation in data-centric technologies has been tremendous. New tools and techniques are emerging at an exponential rate, and it is difficult to keep track of the array of technological choices available to today’s data management professional.
At the same time, core fundamentals such as data quality and metadata management remain critical in order for organizations to obtain true business value from their data. This webinar will help demystify the options available: from data lake to data warehouse, to graph database, to NoSQL, and more, and how to integrate these new technologies with core architectural fundamentals that will help your organization benefit from the quick wins that are possible from these exciting technologies, while at the same time build a longer-term sustainable architecture that will support the inevitable change that will continue in the industry.
Extending your Information Architecture to Microsoft TeamsChristian Buckley
Session from SharePointFest Seattle, Aug 22nd, 2019, presented by Microsoft RD + MVP Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet). Content updated from previous versions of this session.
One of the collaboration strengths of Microsoft Teams is its relatively simple hierarchy, focused on improving small team (inner loop) collaboration and communication. However, organizations still need to be thoughtful about how they align their broader information architecture (IA).
This session outlines the core tenets of your SharePoint IA, how these translate across Microsoft Teams, and how Teams impacts your long-term IA strategy.
This is the three-hour "Taxonomy 101" Presentation delivered at KMWorld 2021 (Virtual, KMWorld Connect). The presentation details taxonomy and ontology definitions, business value, and design methodologies. It also covers the concept of Knowledge Graphs in detail. Special attention is given to the differences between taxonomy and ontologies (both from a use and design perspective).
Beyond MARC: BIBFRAME and the Future of Bibliographic DataEmily Nimsakont
The Bibliographic Framework Initiative, or BIBFRAME, is intended to provide a replacement to the MARC format as an encoding standard for library catalogs. Its aim is to move library data into a Linked Data format, allowing it to interact with other data on the Web. In this session, Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, will cover the basics of BIBFRAME, describe what it can provide for users of library catalogs that MARC can’t, and outline what librarians should be aware of regarding this change in the cataloging landscape.

DITA, Semantics, Content Management, Dynamic Documents, and Linked Data – A M...Paul Wlodarczyk
DITA was conceived as a model for improving reuse through topic-oriented modularization of content. Instead of creating new content or copying and pasting information which may or may not be current and authoritative, organizations manage a repository of content assets – or DITA topics – that can be centrally managed, maintained and reused across the enterprise. This helps to accelerate the creation and maintenance of documents and other deliverables and to ensure the quality and consistency of the content organizations publish. But the next frontier of DITA adoption is leveraging semantic technologies—taxonomies, ontologies and text analytics—to automate the delivery of targeted content. For example, a service incident from a customer is automatically matched with the appropriate response, which is authored and managed as a DITA topic. Learn how organizations can leverage DITA, semantics, content management, dynamic documents, and linked data to fully utilize the value of their information.

The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers - Heather Hedden.pdfEnterprise Knowledge
Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “The Role of Taxonomy and Ontology in Semantic Layers” at a webinar hosted by Progress Semaphore on April 16, 2024.
Taxonomies at their core enable effective tagging and retrieval of content, and combined with ontologies they extend to the management and understanding of related data. There are even greater benefits of taxonomies and ontologies to enhance your enterprise information architecture when applying them to a semantic layer. A survey by DBP-Institute found that enterprises using a semantic layer see their business outcomes improve by four times, while reducing their data and analytics costs. Extending taxonomies to a semantic layer can be a game-changing solution, allowing you to connect information silos, alleviate knowledge gaps, and derive new insights.
Hedden, who specializes in taxonomy design and implementation, presented how the value of taxonomies shouldn’t reside in silos but be integrated with ontologies into a semantic layer.
Learn about:
- The essence and purpose of taxonomies and ontologies in information and knowledge management;
- Advantages of semantic layers leveraging organizational taxonomies; and
- Components and approaches to creating a semantic layer, including the integration of taxonomies and ontologies
Semantic search helps business people find answers to pressing questions by wading through oceans of information to find nuggets of meaningful information. In this presentation we’ll discuss how semantic search and content analysis technologies are starting to appear in the marketplace today. We’ll provide a recap of what semantic search is and what the key benefits are, then we’ll answer the following questions:
• Is semantic search a feature, an application, or enterprise system?
• How can I add semantic search to my existing work processes?
• Will I need to replace my existing content technologies?
• What will I need to do to prepare my content for semantic search?
• Is semantic search just for documents or can I search my data too?
• Can I use semantic search to find information on the internet and other public data sources?
• Are there standards to consider?
Making AI Behave: Using Knowledge Domains to Produce Useful, Trustworthy ResultsAccess Innovations, Inc.
In today's highly charged atmosphere of anxiety and anticipation about AI, and especially LLMs,
one of the biggest concerns is how to ensure that it returns accurate results (meaning both true
and pertinent to its audience). This is particularly important to scholarly, scientific, and other
technical organizations, whose constituents are often in very specific domains, such as
medicine, engineering, history, biology, chemistry, etc. One extremely useful tool to incorporate in an AI-based process in such cases is a comprehensive and well-structured knowledge domain which is based on a controlled vocabulary.

How a Good Taxonomy Can Provide Valuable Business Insights
Kristen Monahan, Public Library of Science (PLOS)
Kristen is a business analyst and she won’t be talking about the PLOS taxonomy but rather how she uses that taxonomy to drill down into the massive amount of content, metadata, and usage and process data that is PLOS for deep, detailed analysis and to drive business decisions. Much of this work involves trend analysis. For example, trend analysis of submissions can look at the time it takes from submission to decision by subject (narrow subjects like Covid, broad subjects like biotechnology), or by institution, or by country, etc. to see not just the overall big picture but where in their submission and peer review workflows the bottlenecks might be. A trend analysis of topics over time can prompt them to issue a call for papers for a topic they think needs to be better covered–and then look at both short-term and long-term trends resulting from that call to papers. Their taxonomy doesn’t just make their content smarter–it makes how they publish that content smarter too.

Getting to the Point: Using AI and Taxonomies to Craft Meta -Titles
Travis Hicks, American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)
Looking to better leverage SEO and include key terms in the url construct for research abstracts, ASCO is working with Access Innovations to evaluate how to programmatically create short titles for abstracts. The idea is to index titles against existing taxonomies as a way of producing a short title that succinctly identified what an abstract is about for purposes of constructing a new url configuration. Travis will discuss the need, challenges, and early results of the project.

Lessons Learned From Building a Taxonomy and Indexing 140 Years of Content
Michael Darr, Project Manager, D33 – American Chemical Society Pubs IT
Michael will talk about the things they would do differently if they were to build a new taxonomy and index a legacy file, and the things they did right the first time.
Bill’s talk is entitled “WHAT’S IN A NAME? How Kew helps drug regulators disambiguate the messy welter of medicinal plant names to shore up regulation and save lives”. It’s really eye-opening to realize how complicated and imprecise names can get, with multiple scientific, pharmaceutical and popular names for the same thing or with one name used for completely different things.
This has real-world consequences. For example, the EU mistakenly banned a useful plant we use every day when intending to ban a poisonous one because of a naming problem. How Kew is using semantic and taxonomic tools and technologies to bring order to this complexity (I almost said chaos) is really fascinating. They’re also helping to disambiguate nomenclature and provide links to authoritative information for botanical terms for use in journal articles, among other things.
Daniel Vasicek discuss the processes undertaken to OCR various kinds of content from the University of Florida Special Collections to make them machine readable for indexing.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
