The document discusses open cultural data and applications created using open data. It defines open data as data that can freely be used, reused and redistributed with attribution. The process of making data open is outlined as: 1) collecting the data, 2) applying data standards, 3) determining an open license, 4) making the data available, 5) promoting the data, and 6) developing applications using the open data. Examples are given of open data from NASA and the US government as well as past and upcoming events on open cultural data and hackathons to create apps using open cultural data. Contact information is provided for more information on open cultural data initiatives.
This document discusses the concepts of linked data and the semantic web. It explains that linked data involves publishing structured data on the web in a way that allows machines to naturally understand and process it by linking data about things rather than just documents. This creates a web of data that is globally interconnected through URIs and RDF standards. Linked data is key to achieving the goal of the semantic web, which is a web of data that can be processed directly by machines.

A significant development over the past couple of years has been the increase in collaboration between entities that support the scholarly publishing enterprise—creating efficiency and fueling innovation. We’ll begin the day with the example of ORCID, showing how collaboration can expand from a single idea and make connections that benefit many, and what this might mean for the future. We’ll follow this with an expedition into open source solutions in knowledge production that build collaboration, and we’ll hear about a project that helps institutions create connected data regarding their scholarship by using open standards.
OPEN KNOWLEDGE PLATFORM USE-CASES - TugaIT 2018Pedro Sousa
Many of Open Knowledge International’s projects are technical in nature. Its most prominent project, CKAN, is used by many of the world’s governments to host open catalogues of data that their countries possess.
CKAN is a tool for making open data websites. (Think of a content management system like WordPress – but for data, instead of pages and blog posts.) It helps you manage and publish collections of data. It is used by national and local governments, research institutions, and other organizations who collect a lot of data.
In this talk I’ll go over some use-cases of Open Knowledge Platform implementations by the Portuguese Government, the architectural features, the difficulties and different approaches to solve them.
Promises and Pitfalls: Linked Data, Privacy, and Library CatalogsEmily Nimsakont
This document discusses the promises and pitfalls of using linked data in library catalogs. It begins by explaining what linked data is and how it makes relationships between data explicit. Linked data initiatives like BIBFRAME aim to apply these concepts to library metadata. However, privacy is a major concern since linked data allows for more aggressive exploration of personal information. The document discusses libraries' role in protecting user privacy and explores solutions like privacy preference ontologies and standards from the W3C. Overall, while linked data holds benefits, ensuring user privacy will be an ongoing challenge for libraries to address.
What is Linked Data, and What Does It Mean for Libraries?Emily Nimsakont
1) The document discusses the concept of Linked Data and how it differs from the traditional web by making relationships between data explicit through the use of URIs and RDF.
2) Linked Data could benefit libraries by allowing library data to be more openly connected and standardized, dissolving the boundaries between individual bibliographic records.
3) There are already some library Linked Data projects underway like the Library of Congress Authorities and Vocabularies. Linked Data may change library workflows and the role of catalogers.
The document discusses the state of open research and access. It addresses pulling together an open ecosystem that maximizes public good by being rapid, transparent, relevant, equitable and inclusive. It also discusses making sure open research works for everyone globally and considering equity and inclusivity in decisions. Finally, it talks about empowering ongoing scientific communication beyond just publishing, building new business models to support ongoing communication, and ensuring community ownership over research infrastructure.

This document discusses open scientific data. It defines open access, open government, and open science. It addresses challenges in storing, sharing, citing, and connecting open scientific data to software developers and civil society. Specifically, it notes issues with long-term storage and resolution of data locations, appropriate licensing options, using identifiers like DOIs to cite data, making data accessible and understandable to different audiences through formats, documentation, visualization, and intermediaries. The document advocates for actions like hackathons to bring together domain experts and developers and help integrate open data into various communities.
Providing open data is of interest for its societal and commercial value, for transparency, and because more people can do fun things with data. There is a growing number of initiatives to provide open data, from, for example, the UK government and the World Bank. However, much of this data is provided in formats such as Excel files, or even PDF files. This raises the question of
- How best to provide access to data so it can be most easily reused?
- How to enable the discovery of relevant data within the multitude of available data sets?
- How to enable applications to integrate data from large numbers of formerly unknown data sources?
One way to address these issues to to use the design principles of linked data (http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html), which suggest best practices for how to publish and connect structured data on the Web. This presentation gives an overview of linked data technologies (such as RDF and SPARQL), examples of how they can be used, as well as some starting points for people who want to provide and use linked data.

A hyperlink is a reference in a hypertext document that links to another document or resource. Theodore Nelson first proposed the concept of hyperlinking in 1965 as part of his Xanadu Project, which envisioned linking specific lines of computer text. This idea was expanded upon and became integral to the development of the early internet and World Wide Web. Hyperlinks work by having a source anchor that points to a destination anchor or target. When clicked, the hyperlink activates and displays the target document. Search engines also use hyperlinks to measure page popularity, with more links to a page resulting in a higher page rank.

Ch 7 Sec 3 "Growth of European Exploration"Attebery
Portugal and Spain were the first European nations to extensively explore and colonize outside of Europe due to their naval experience and desire to spread Catholicism. Portugal pioneered exploration down the coast of Africa under Prince Henry the Navigator and Bartolomeu Dias, who proved Africa could be sailed around. Vasco de Gaga then rounded the Cape of Good Hope and established trade routes. Spain decided to explore westward and sent Columbus, who landed in the Caribbean instead of India. Ferdinand Magellan later sailed around the world, though he died in the Philippines before the journey's end. Conquistadors like Cortes and Pizarro conquered the Aztec and Inca empires through deception, violence, and force.
Out of the shadows with fiscal compliance technology White Paper Retail Innov...Marie Ivarsson
This document discusses the problem of tax evasion through the use of digital technologies like sales suppression software in point-of-sale systems. It notes that the shadow economy costs countries vast amounts in lost tax revenue. Specifically, it focuses on underreporting of sales in the retail and hospitality sectors through techniques like "zappers" which are add-on software, and "phantomware" which is pre-installed hidden software. Both types of sales suppression software can delete or alter sales records to help business owners evade taxes by reducing reported income. The document advocates for the use of fiscal compliance technologies and legislative frameworks to help prevent such tax fraud and generate additional tax revenue.

This document provides background information on a project to organize and create a finding aid for the Nicholas Yunge-Bateman photographic collection housed at the Trent Valley Archives. Yunge-Bateman worked as a staff photographer for the Peterborough Examiner from 1959-1965 and amassed a collection of 15,000 photographic negatives. The project aims to characterize 10% of the photographs from 1960 to make the collection more accessible according to archival standards. It acknowledges the assistance of various individuals involved and defines key terms related to archival work.
Open science refers to making scientific research and data accessible to all. It includes open access to publications, open data, open source software, open notebooks, and citizen science. The European Union supports open science to increase transparency, collaboration and innovation in research. A workshop was held in South Africa to help develop an open science policy, with feedback that the policy will be finalized in September 2018 after additional workshops with European Union involvement. Open science aims to make the entire research process publicly available and reusable to maximize scientific progress.
Scholarship in a connected world: New ways to know, new ways to showDerek Keats

Open access is becoming the new normal in scholarly communication. OA publishing and archiving venues have been established and OA policies are being implemented, moving from proposals to practice. The discussion around OA has evolved from "why OA?" to "how to implement OA?" and "how to improve OA?". This signals that OA has been adopted more broadly. Challenges remain but OA is playing a central role in the new model of scholarly communication.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.

In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
SDSS1335+0728: The awakening of a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole⋆Sérgio Sacani
Context. The early-type galaxy SDSS J133519.91+072807.4 (hereafter SDSS1335+0728), which had exhibited no prior optical variations during the preceding two decades, began showing significant nuclear variability in the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) alert stream from December 2019 (as ZTF19acnskyy). This variability behaviour, coupled with the host-galaxy properties, suggests that SDSS1335+0728 hosts a ∼ 106M⊙ black hole (BH) that is currently in the process of ‘turning on’. Aims. We present a multi-wavelength photometric analysis and spectroscopic follow-up performed with the aim of better understanding the origin of the nuclear variations detected in SDSS1335+0728. Methods. We used archival photometry (from WISE, 2MASS, SDSS, GALEX, eROSITA) and spectroscopic data (from SDSS and LAMOST) to study the state of SDSS1335+0728 prior to December 2019, and new observations from Swift, SOAR/Goodman, VLT/X-shooter, and Keck/LRIS taken after its turn-on to characterise its current state. We analysed the variability of SDSS1335+0728 in the X-ray/UV/optical/mid-infrared range, modelled its spectral energy distribution prior to and after December 2019, and studied the evolution of its UV/optical spectra. Results. From our multi-wavelength photometric analysis, we find that: (a) since 2021, the UV flux (from Swift/UVOT observations) is four times brighter than the flux reported by GALEX in 2004; (b) since June 2022, the mid-infrared flux has risen more than two times, and the W1−W2 WISE colour has become redder; and (c) since February 2024, the source has begun showing X-ray emission. From our spectroscopic follow-up, we see that (i) the narrow emission line ratios are now consistent with a more energetic ionising continuum; (ii) broad emission lines are not detected; and (iii) the [OIII] line increased its flux ∼ 3.6 years after the first ZTF alert, which implies a relatively compact narrow-line-emitting region. Conclusions. We conclude that the variations observed in SDSS1335+0728 could be either explained by a ∼ 106M⊙ AGN that is just turning on or by an exotic tidal disruption event (TDE). If the former is true, SDSS1335+0728 is one of the strongest cases of an AGNobserved in the process of activating. If the latter were found to be the case, it would correspond to the longest and faintest TDE ever observed (or another class of still unknown nuclear transient). Future observations of SDSS1335+0728 are crucial to further understand its behaviour. Key words. galaxies: active– accretion, accretion discs– galaxies: individual: SDSS J133519.91+072807.4
Evidence of Jet Activity from the Secondary Black Hole in the OJ 287 Binary S...Sérgio Sacani
Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.
This presentation offers a general idea of the structure of seed, seed production, management of seeds and its allied technologies. It also offers the concept of gene erosion and the practices used to control it. Nursery and gardening have been widely explored along with their importance in the related domain.
