The open semantic enterprise enterprise data meets web dataGeorg Guentner
Presentation in workshop at the 2nd B2B Software Days (11.04.2013, Vienna), together with Herbert Beilschmidt (Oracle Austria):
The Open Semantic Enterprise.Enterprise Data meets Web Data.
The technologies of the “Web od Data” have reached a degree of maturity and acceptance allowing the productive use in enterprises for the support of their business processes. Though the focus is currently on the adoption and use of Open (Linked) Data, the underlying principles can also be applied to the closed data sources and proprietary data structures usually available in enterprises.
The workshop outlines the conceptual and architectural approaches to open enterprise data sources and interweave them with the Web of Data. It shows concrete application scenarios of an open source “semantic toolset” that can be integrated with enterprise information and content management systems to open data silos, establish a layer of adaptive integrated views of the enterprise information and support decision processes thus paving the way to an “open semantic enterprise”.
The topical semantic toolset for enterprise content integration includes Apache Stanbol (knowledge extraction), Apache Marmotta (Linked Data Platform), the Linked Media Framework (networked knowledge) und VIE (interactive knowledge).
State-of-the-art big data platforms need to process massive quantities of data in batch and in parallel - filtering, transforming and sorting it before loading it into an enterprise data warehouse. In order to realize an Open Semantic Enterprise, a big data platform has to be optimized for acquiring, organizing, and loading unstructured data. Technological approaches such as NoSQL databases and connectors for Apache Hadoop complement big data solutions for the open world of a semantic enterprise.

Initiatives of making governmental data open are continuously gaining interest recently. While this presents immense benefits for increasing transparency, the problem is that the data are frequently offered in heterogeneous formats, missing clear semantics that clarify what the data describes. The data are displayed in ways that are not always clearly understandable to a broad range of user communities that need to make informed decisions.

Findability Primer by Information Architected - the IA Primer SeriesDan Keldsen
Findability - The Art and Science of Making Content Findable
Why Findability is Critical Today
Content without access is worthless. With the advent and maturity of the Internet, what was once exclusively the domain of libraries and the private collections of enterprises is now a broadly understood issue.
Case in point: Moments ago, I entered the word “Findability” into a search tool that indexes the Internet.
More than 543,000 individual bodies of content were retrieved. Eureka – Findability solved, right? With a simple search, I am able to retrieve “all” of that content. No. The rules of the game have changed significantly.

Extracting and Reducing the Semantic Information Content of Web Documents to ...ijsrd.com
Ranking and optimization of web service compositions represent challenging areas of research with significant implication for realization of the "Web of Services" vision. The semantic web, where the semantics information is indicated using machine-process able language such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL) "Semantic web service" use formal semantic description of web service functionality and enable automated reasoning over web service compositions. These semantic web services can then be automatically discovered, composed into more complex services, and executed. Automating web service composition through the use of semantic technologies calculating the semantic similarities between outputs and inputs of connected constituent services, and aggregate these values into a measure of semantics quality for the composition. It propose a novel and extensible model balancing the new dimensions of semantic quality ( as a functional quality metric) with QoS metric, and using them together as a ranking and optimization criteria. It also demonstrates the utility of Genetic Algorithms to allow optimization within the context of a large number of services foreseen by the "Web of Service" vision. To reduce the semantics of the web documents then to support semantic document retrieval by using Network Ontology Language (NOL) and to improve QoS as a ranking and optimization.

Comparison of Semantic and Syntactic Information Retrieval System on the basi...Waqas Tariq
In this paper information retrieval system for local databases are discussed. The approach is to search the web both semantically and syntactically. The proposal handles the search queries related to the user who is interested in the focused results regarding a product with some specific characteristics. The objective of the work will be to find and retrieve the accurate information from the available information warehouse which contains related data having common keywords. This information retrieval system can eventually be used for accessing the internet also. Accuracy in information retrieval that is achieving both high precision and recall is difficult. So both semantic and syntactic search engine are compared for information retrieval using two parameters i.e. precision and recall.

Reasoning with Big Knowledge Graphs: Choices, Pitfalls and Proven RecipesOntotext
This presentation will provide a brief introduction to logical reasoning and overview of the most popular semantic schema and ontology languages: RDFS and the profiles of OWL 2.
While automatic reasoning has always inspired the imagination, numerous projects have failed to deliver to the promises. The typical pitfalls related to ontologies and symbolic reasoning fall into two categories:
- Over-engineered ontologies. The selected ontology language and modeling patterns can be too expressive. This can make the results of inference hard to understand and verify, which in its turn makes KG hard to evolve and maintain. It can also impose performance penalties far greater than the benefits.
- Inappropriate reasoning support. There are many inference algorithms and implementation approaches, which work well with taxonomies and conceptual models of few thousands of concepts, but cannot cope with KG of millions of entities.
- Inappropriate data layer architecture. One such example is reasoning with virtual KG, which is often infeasible.
Knowledge graphs - it’s what all businesses now are on the lookout for. But what exactly is a knowledge graph and, more importantly, how do you get one? Do you get it as an out-of-the-box solution or do you have to build it (or have someone else build it for you)? With the help of our knowledge graph technology experts, we have created a step-by-step list of how to build a knowledge graph. It will properly expose and enforce the semantics of the semantic data model via inference, consistency checking and validation and thus offer organizations many more opportunities to transform and interlink data into coherent knowledge.

Best Practices for Large Scale Text Mining ProcessingOntotext
Q&A:
NOW facilitates semantic search by having annotations attached to search strings. How compolex does that get, e.g. with wildcards between annotated strings?
NOW’s searchbox is quite basic at the moment, but still supports a few scenarios.
1. Pure concept/faceted search - search for all documents containing a concept or where a set of concepts are co-occurring. Ranking is based on frequence of occurrence.
2. Concept/faceted + Full Text search - search for both concepts and particular textual term of phrase.
3. Full text search
With search, pretty much anything can be done to customise it. For the NOW showcase we’ve kept it fairly simple, as usually every client has a slightly different case and wants to tune search in a slightly different direction.
The search in NOW is faceted which means that you search with concepts (facets) and you retrieve all documents which contain mentions of the searched concept. If you search by more than one facet the engine retrieves documents which contain mentions of both concepts but there is no restriction that they occur next to each other.
Is the tagging service expandable (say with custom ontologies)? also is it a something you offer as a service? it is unclear to me from the website.
The TAG service is used for demonstration purposes only. The models behind it are trained for annotating news articles. The pipeline is customizable for every concrete scenario, different domains and entities of interest. You can access several of our pipelines as a service through the S4 platform or you can have them hosted as an on premise solution. In some cases our clients want domain adaptation or improvements in particular area, or to tag with their internal dataset - in this case we offer again an on premise deployment and also a managed service hosted on our hardware.
Hdoes your system accomodate cluster analysis using unsupervised keyword/phrase annotation for knowledge discovery?
As much as the patterns of user behaviour are also considered knowledge discovery we employ these for suggesting related reads. Apart from these we have experience tailoring custom clustering pipelines which also rely on features like keyword and named entities.
For topic extraction how many topics can we extract? from twitter corpus wgat csn we infer?
For topic extraction we have determined that we obtain best results when suggesting 3 categories. These are taken from IPTC but only the uppermost levels which are less than 20.
The twitter corpus example is from a project Ontotext participates in called Pheme. The goal of the project is to detect rumours and to check their veracity, thus help journalists in their hunt for attractive news.
Do you provide Processing Resources and JAPE rules for GATE framework and that can be used with GATE embedded?
We are contributing to the GATE framework and everything which has been wrapped up as PRs has been included the corresponding GATE distributions.
Semantic Data Normalization For Efficient Clinical Trial ResearchOntotext
Clinical trials, both public and proprietary, hold a huge amount of valuable information. Acquiring knowledge from that information in a cost and time efficient manner is a major industry pain point.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.
2. 1
After the immense loss of
knowledge that humanity
underwent when the Ancient
Library of Alexandria was
destroyed by fire,
the next biggest loss
is the one that
happens due to inefficient
content management and
Information retrieval.
3. All the data sources around
us remain locked and useless
without elaborate tools to
navigate and explore the
relationships between data.
2
4. 3
The potential of data for
knowledge discovery is only as big as the capacity to
intelligently search through these data.
5. And there’s no blunter reminder for this fact than the
message: “Sorry, no content matched your criteria”
4
6. A lot of content will be very much
likely not “match the search criteria”
of someone looking for, if there isn’t
a more sophisticated way to navigate
the vast lands of interconnected
resources, different than
the “dumb” matching
of keywords.
5
7. 6
Fortunately, there is a way to intelligently search content and it
is called semantic search.
8. 7
While traditional
information retrieval
systems rely hard on
keywords and links,
semantic search goes
deeper and beyond
the mere textual
representation of the
content. It magnifies
a lot more relations
otherwise invisible by
traditional search.
9. 8
If semantic search
had a separate icon
from the one
traditional search
has (the ubiquitous
magnifying glass),
it would probably
have been a
microscope.
10. 9
Magnifying large
amounts of systems and
the connections between
them, semantic search
sharpens our ability to
join the dots and
enhances the way we
track relationships, look
for clues, compare
correlations.
11. As any content
is a lot more
than the mere sum
of the exact words
and phrases
it contains or is
described by.
It is more of
a network of
connected
entities.
10
12. 11
Semantic search analyzes the relational aspects of these entities as
to address complex queries and thus foster knowledge discovery.
Showing the dependencies between 10 classes
14. The way we access information transcends from a list of results,
solely based on keyword matching to a set of connections, pertinent
to the intent and the context of our specific query.
13
15. With semantic search we are able to thoroughly
look up all kinds of relationships. Instead of more
links, which are only a single kind of relation,
a semantic approach to information
retrieval leads to a networked
view of relations, facts,
information,
we might
not know
even existed.
14
16. With smarter algorithms that understand the
semantics, that is the meaning of our searches,
and pick the most relevant result quickly and
accurately, our potential to turn information
into knowledge is maximized.
15
17. M a k i n g s e n s e o f t e x t a n d d a t a
We are able to blend our creative forces with the
analytical power of machines and use semantic search
as yet another smart tool to use throughout our
knowledge discovery quest.
