This document discusses developing a socio-cultural ontology for urban development. It proposes combining Pierre's categories, Engeström's activity theory, and Hewitt's use of triangles to develop the ontology. Basic categories would include individuals, relations, triples, communities, artifacts, and divisions of labor. The goal is to support dialog, group knowledge construction, and conflict resolution for issues related to urban planning.

The document describes Humanities Networked Infrastructure (HuNI), an Australian project that aggregates data from 30 humanities datasets containing over 740,000 entities. HuNI harvests records from the source datasets and maps them to six basic categories, but does not import relationships between entities or perform de-duplication. HuNI allows users to create their own collections of entities, link entities, and record their views on the data. It aims to organize heterogeneous data in a way that does not entirely pre-determine relationships or impose a strong conceptual framework, instead encouraging multiple interpretations through user-contributed collections and links.

This document provides an overview of organizational communication. It discusses key concepts like how organizations use communication to coordinate work and construct social realities. It also outlines perspectives on organizational communication including the traditional, interpretive, and critical perspectives. Specifically, it notes the traditional perspective views organizations like machines while later seeing them as living systems, and the interpretive perspective sees organizations as socially constructed cultures.
PolyCAFe and Social Learning Support for CSCL in LTfLL
This document describes PolyCAFe, a system for analyzing collaborative learning conversations. PolyCAFe was developed as part of the LTfLL project to provide automated feedback and summaries of chat discussions. It is based on theories of collaborative learning and uses natural language processing techniques like part-of-speech tagging and semantic analysis. The system was validated through experiments with students and teachers who found that it helped reduce the time to provide feedback and improved the quality of feedback for collaborative assignments.

This document describes research on analyzing collaborative discourse and learning using a polyphonic model. It discusses computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and examples of chat-based CSCL sessions. It then introduces the polyphonic model of collaboration, which views discourse as interweaving voices or viewpoints. The document outlines the polyphonic analysis method and tools that have been developed to support this analysis, including the PolyCAFe and ReaderBench systems. It provides details on computational approaches and validation of the polyphonic analysis.

This document summarizes different perspectives on the functions of communication. It discusses traditional views that see functions as relating to production, maintenance, and innovation. Interpretive perspectives view communication as constructing shared meanings through symbolic interaction and habits. Critical perspectives see communication as dialogic and a site of control and manipulation, with the potential for both unity and difference. The document also addresses how communication enables relational development among workers from acquaintances to intimate friends.

The document discusses a hybrid learning scenario used at Bucharest "Politehnica" University that combines classroom lectures, individual study, and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) using online chat sessions. It presents the VMT chat environment and XML encoding used to analyze the chats. The theoretical model is based on Bakhtin's dialogism and views learning as polyphonic with interanimated voices. The PolyCAFe system was developed to analyze chats for collaboration and automatically generate feedback using natural language processing and social network analysis. It identifies important utterances and determines how well participants collaborate. The system aims to help understand knowledge building in chats and provide support for hybrid learning environments.

This document discusses issues related to designing digital infrastructure for the humanities using ontologies. It notes that there are many ongoing efforts to develop ontologies for different domains in digital humanities. However, it also acknowledges linguistic, semantic, and conceptual difficulties in representing humanities knowledge through ontologies. As an alternative, it discusses strategies like topic modeling, linked data, and conceptual spaces that may better capture humanistic perspectives on relationships, cognition, and meaning. It argues that future humanities research should look beyond ontologies alone and examine computational modeling from cognitive science and philosophy.
M1. sem web & ontology introd
This document provides an overview of ontologies and the semantic web. It defines ontologies as formal specifications of conceptualizations that are shared between people and computers. Ontologies provide a common vocabulary and conceptual structure to facilitate understanding between humans and machines. They allow different systems and communities to work together by providing shared definitions of concepts and relationships. The development of ontologies and the semantic web aims to make web resources more computer-readable and enable machines to better understand and process online information.

According to Theodore R. Schatzki, theorists who study practices tend to view them as materially present and changing over history, rather than as determined by rigid abstract structures. This amounts to a revolutionary materialist perspective. The author will illustrate this perspective and discuss how it presents dilemmas for philosophers of mathematical practices. They will also argue that culture is better viewed as the expression of values in practices, rather than as distinct anthropological units, in order to understand cultural change and facilitate cross-cultural communication without falling into materialism or post-humanism.

Knowledge lost in information, meanings lost in semantics?
Knowledge and meaning are complex concepts that are impacted by information systems. As knowledge is codified into information and formalized for computer systems, some meanings may be lost. Three key issues are: (1) meanings are restricted by what can be expressed in language and formalized for machines, (2) formalization requirements of semantics limit the scope of represented meanings, and (3) predefined concepts, definitions and ontologies impose standardized meanings rather than supporting individual interpretations. Representing complex domains like cultural landscapes in information systems thus risks oversimplifying the knowledge and reducing the diversity of meanings.
A structured approach to cultural studies of architectural space
This document proposes a conceptual structure for cultural studies of architectural space. It discusses:
1) Components of culture including technology, knowledge, and value systems spread along a spectrum.
2) The life-cycle of architectural space as a 4-stage process of problem formulation, design, construction, and use.
3) A graphical schema structuring areas of cultural study as the Cartesian product of the cultural component dimension and life-cycle stage dimension. Several example areas are illustrated.
4) Ways to differentiate the nature of cultural studies based on the subject matter, type of space, cultural groups, and cultural processes involved.
What Does Data Want? (2019-2020)
Dr. Lev Manovich is a professor of computer science at the Graduate Center, CUNY and director of the Cultural Analytics Lab. He uses data science and machine learning to analyze contemporary culture at a large scale. However, he questions the traditional paradigm of aggregating and reducing big cultural data to common patterns and categories. Instead, he advocates analyzing cultural data without aggregation to better capture diversity, variability, and small differences. This would help understand culture in more detail and think outside of typical intellectual paradigms of categorization and reduction.

Digital, Humanities, Latour and Networks. By Moses A. Boudourides
This document discusses using network analysis and digital tools to study literary texts. It describes representing elements of texts like characters or words as network nodes and their co-occurrences as connections. The document also discusses challenges in automatically extracting this type of network from texts and different ways time could be incorporated. Overall, the document explores how digital humanities and network analysis can provide new perspectives for understanding relationships in literary corpora.
Platforms and Analytical Gestures
This document discusses analytical gestures used in social media data analysis. It begins by defining social media platforms as large databases that formalize different types of entities and connections. It then discusses that analytical gestures involve understanding the platform, selected analytical tools/methods, and researcher imagination. Examples of analytical gestures provided include visualizing friendship networks and co-liking networks from Facebook data. The document emphasizes that data analysis requires understanding the technical, social, and analytical aspects of the data.
Notational systems and the abstract built environment
The document discusses the abstract built environment, which includes all abstract concepts, rules, and beliefs made possible by notational systems. Notational systems introduce new metaconcepts and provide a means to represent abstract concepts physically. Concepts derived from metaconcepts can be combined into rule systems through various notational systems, expanding the effability space of what can be expressed. The abstract built environment has grown over human history with the development of new notational systems and will continue to evolve. The document calls for the discipline of notational engineering to systematically study and develop new notational systems.
A Formal Modeling Proposal
This document discusses conceptual models for representing intangible artworks, such as installations and performances, within formal ontologies. It analyzes the suitability of the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CIDOC-CRM) for this purpose. While the CIDOC-CRM was designed mainly for physical artworks, its "Event" class can represent both the creative processes and performative aspects of intangible art. The document also notes two additional uses of the "Event" class: to represent relationships between works and their documentation, and to represent maintenance processes for more impermanent artworks. It concludes that while the CIDOC-CRM provides a good starting point, intangible art may require extensions to fully

The document provides an overview of a visual literacy training course for librarians and archivists. It discusses core competencies for visual resources professionals, rationale for the course, course content including images and cognition, culture, contexts of image use, images as documents, and visual resources in collections. The course aims to teach visual analysis, description, organization and access of images. It also covers issues of visual literacy, metadata standards, and copyright.
Semantics for visual resources: use cases from e-culture
1) The document discusses several use cases involving multimedia from the e-culture domain that require semantic technologies to enable searches across different media types.
2) It analyzes challenges in searching for related images based on time period or style and finding paintings with similar subjects.
3) Bridging the semantic gap between low-level visual features and high-level concepts is difficult and requires techniques like concept detectors trained on visual features as well as linking visual ontologies to semantic ones.
Ontology visualization methods—a survey
This document surveys ontology visualization methods. It begins by defining ontologies as sets of concepts and relationships in a domain that have proven useful for digital libraries, the semantic web, and personalized information management. However, effectively visualizing ontologies is challenging due to the complex relationships and attributes involved. The document aims to categorize existing ontology visualization techniques and their characteristics in order to help with method selection and further research. It provides context on related work reviewing data visualization techniques before analyzing ontology visualization methods in detail.
An introduction to topic maps,ontologies and published subjects
An introduction to topic maps,ontologies and published subjectsAIMS (Agricultural Information Management Standards)
The document introduces Topic Maps, which provide a standardized way to represent knowledge. Topic Maps use topics to represent subjects, associations to represent relationships between topics, and occurrences to link topics to information resources. They allow multiple perspectives on knowledge through the use of scopes. Topic Maps can be used to improve access to information through semantic queries and customized views. They also enable easy integration and sharing of information across systems through merging of Topic Maps.Notational systems and abstractions
This document provides an overview of notational systems and abstractions. It defines key terms like notational systems, abstraction spaces, and abstraction instances. It argues that notational systems reify abstractions by mapping abstraction spaces. Each notational system maps a different abstraction space, and a useful system implies something about the nature of reality and cognition. Studying notational systems can provide insights into the nature of abstractions.
Figures of the Many - Quantitative Concepts for Qualitative Thinking
This document discusses quantitative concepts and styles of reasoning used in data analysis. It begins by noting the proliferation of data and actors online, making generalization difficult. It then outlines two main styles of mathematics used in data analysis: statistics, which focuses on objects and their properties, and graph theory, which focuses on objects and their relations. The document analyzes comment data from a Facebook page using various statistical and visualization techniques common in exploratory data analysis, like histograms, scatterplots, and timelines. It aims to understand the different analytical gestures involved in working with large-scale digital data.
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
