The document discusses how the flow of information is changing as more data becomes openly available through new technologies. It describes four trends: 1) Open data is being used privately as governments and organizations make raw data freely accessible in open formats; 2) Interactive tools are making data simple to understand in real-time; 3) Data is being generated and used to support urban development and infrastructure planning; 4) Examples show how open financial and map data is empowering individuals and communities.
A combination of automatic, real-time data feeds from government agencies and new Web 2.0 "data visualization" tools can both increase cooperation and operating efficiency within government, and improve the quality of policy debate and encourage people to become actively involved in offering ideas to improve government.

What does “BIG DATA” mean for official statistics?Vincenzo Patruno
In our modern world more and more data are generated on the web and produced by sensors in the ever growing number of electronic devices surrounding us. The amount of data and the frequency at which they are produced have led to the concept of 'Big data'. Big data is characterized as data sets of increasing volume, velocity and variety; the 3 V's. Big data is often largely unstructured, meaning that it has no pre-defined data model and/or does not fit well into conventional relational databases.
Big data, democratized analytics and deep context, CIDPNSI
Paper analyzes how big data, democratized analytics, deep context are changing how we think and do development. Outlines key new technologies, analysis techniques and tools that will have a major impact on development research. Classifies into data, analytics and feedback layer.

My presentation to "Transparency Camp 09", about how to go beyond transparency to an integrated strategy based on "democratizing data" (structuring and syndicating it and providing social media analysis tools to share it). This integrated strategy will provide transparency, give workers the real-time information they need, reform government regulation, cut corporate paperwork, and crowdsource innovation. It may, or may not, cure the common cold under certain conditions.

Big data refer to the ongoing accumulation of massive, often complex and always-changing data sets – for instance, machine-generated data from sensors or cell phone GPS signals. Or it may be data from social media sites.
Open data are data sets made available to the public to use and reuse. Those sets may come from Big Data but they don’t have to.The act of opening data is like extending an invitation to anyone to freely take the data and turn it into something useful.
The story of how data became big starts many years before the current buzz around big data.The history of Big Data as a term may be brief – but many of the foundations it is built on were laid many years ago. Now, let’s look at a detailed account of the major milestones in the history of sizing data volumes in the evolution of the idea of “big data” and observations pertaining to data or information explosion:

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. THE NEW FLOW OF INFORMATION: ORGANIZED DATA CHANGES CITIES
As more sources of data are available to us through new technology, we see an increased complexity in how
to handle this information. Cities are especially effected by this complexity, due to rapid growth and
dynamic infrastructure, which is why urban environments are a focus in this report.
THE NEW FLOW OF INFORMATION IS DEFINED BY A SHIFT IN HOW DATA IS COLLECTED, DISTRIBUTED, PROCESSED AND
GENERATED FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY.
WHY THIS IS RELEVANT:
New data is becoming valuable to map out socioeconomic situations. Society is now integrated in many
ways, and it is important for us to see the whole picture, in order to identify problems, discover white space
and harness innovation.
“I want you to put your data on the web, because it turns out there is
still huge unlocket potential. We haven’t got data on the web as
data. Documents you read - and you follow liks from them, data you
can do all different kinds of stuff with”.
- Tim-Berners Lee, engineer and computer scientist
http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html
Introduction 1
4. METHODOLOGY:
Information has been gathered on urbanboardgame.tumblr.com from the month of September to Decem-
ber, 2010. With sources mainly from innovative trend blogs such as psfk.com, mashable.com and
springwise.com but also from many personal blogs and experts in the area, like Tim-Berners Lee, David Mc-
Candless and Hans Rosling, patterns have been identified and turned into micro trends. With hundreds of
examples, the aim is to present these objectively in order to help businesses develop a more relevant
approach to their product. The result is four marco trends, with six manifestations to exemplify the move-
ment in the field.
Each marco trend has an introduction page explaining the core idea and some key outcomes, followed by
the manifestations. At the bottom of the document you will find chapter headings.

5. OPEN DATA FOR PRIVATE USAGE
The rapid increase of open data on the web and open sociopolitical policies enable private use of raw data.
Software is becoming open source, and people require certain data to be freely available to everyone, with-
out restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control.

6. KEY INSIGHTS:
- RAW DATA IS BEING USED IN A NEW PRODUCTIVE MANNER, AS THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS PROVIDED THE
TOOLS TO MANIPULATE IT.
- GOVERNMENT IS OPENING UP, BEING A PLATFORM FOR INNOVATION RATHER THAN A PROVIDER.
- OPEN ACCESS TO DATA IS MORE FREQUENTLY BECOMING A STANDARD IN SOCIETY, AS OPPOSITION IS
SEEN AGAINST COPYRIGHT AND PATENT LAWS.
- PERSONAL DATA IS NOW MORE COMMONLY SHARED ONLINE THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS.
“A "free software cloud" may seem to be an oxymoron, like "non-combat troops." But I believe that free
software and remote computing were made for each other; their future lies together and the sooner they
converge, the faster they will evolve and gain adoption. In fact, I believe a free software cloud - much
more than the "open cloud" that many organizations are working on - lies in our future.”
