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.
Whitepaper - The need self service data tools, not scientistsJosh Howard
The federal government is one of the organizations most in need of data scientists, but hiring freezes, slashed training budgets and a lack of qualified candidates have all hampered the ability to recruit these types of professionals. Faced with such obstacles, agencies have been developing creative solutions to fill the hiring gap. Learn how to overcome these challenges with big data analytic tools.
Future of Privacy - The Emerging View 11 06 15 Future Agenda
The Future of Privacy is one of 25 topics being explored around the world by the Future Agenda project. 4 events, run in partnership with the IAPP in Washington DC, London, Singapore and Toronto have built on an initial view by Stephen Deadman, formerly Chief Privacy Officer at Vodafone and now at Facebook. With the extra insights from these events, and others from other topics such as the future of data, travel and work, we now have an updated emerging view of some the key shifts seen to be taking place around the world. The PDF brings together some of the key insights gained to date and shares some thoughts on the underlying shifts. It is the first of several presentations sharing insights from the Future Agenda programme.
Big data for the next generation of event companiesRaj Anand
Only on rare occasions do we consider the amount of data that our every action produces. It’s pretty overwhelming just to think about every interaction on every app on every device in our bag or pocket, in every environment and every location.
But then there’s more. We also use access cards, transportation passes and gym memberships. We have hobbies, we travel, buy groceries, books and maybe warm beverages on rainy days. We are part of multiple communities. Looking around billions of people are doing the same. Our every action produces data about us. This is big.
We believe taking an interest in this wealth of data will be the key to success for next generation Event Companies.
We are living in a fast changing world, where it’s ever more important to foresee trends and seize opportunities. A global perspective is not a strategic advantage anymore it is a necessity.
Event companies are facilitators , they create common grounds for brands and audiences, by thoughtfully connecting goals and means. Having a deep understanding of customer behaviour, group psychology, digital habits, brand interaction, communication, and awareness through unlocking the power of big data will ensure next generation event companies thrive on strategy.
Data is not consistent, sometimes searches or general interest in certain topics, say social media or other types of data experienced peaks and valleys. Data analysis techniques allow the data scientist to mine this type of unstable data and still draw meaningful conclusions from it.

Most data integration software was built to run data through ETL servers. It worked well at the time for several reasons: there wasn’t that much data—1TB was considered a large amount of data at the time; most data was structured, and the turnaround time for that data was monthly. Even back then, daily loads became a problem for most companies. Because of the limitations of the early tools, much of the work was hand-coded, without documentation, and no central management.

Semantic Search: We're Living in a Golden Age for Information3 Round Stones
This talk outlines semantic search and living shows how we're living in a Golden Age for Information. The focus is on how government agencies can most effectively leverage the architecture of the Web to improve publication & consumption of high value open government data sets.
The success of an organization increasingly depends on their ability to draw conclusions regarding the various types of data available. Staying ahead of competitors requires many times to identify a trend, problem or opportunity microseconds before anyone else. That's why organizations must be able to analyze this information if they want to find insights that will help them to identify new opportunities underlying this phenomenon.
People are spontaneously uploading large amounts of information on the internet and this represents a great opportunity for companies to segment according to their behavior and not only socio-demographic factors. Companies store transactional information from their customers by making them fill in forms but the challenge for brands is to enrich these databases with information describing their customer’s behavior and daily habits. This info can be obtained through the online conversation and can be processed, crossed and enriched with many other types of information through different models based on Big Data. Following this procedure, we can complement the information we already have from our customers without having to ask them directly and therefor providing more value-added proposals to clients from a brand perspective.
Using the same technology with the right platform and the correct tactic, companies can achieve more ambitious goals that provide valuable information for the brand, which in turn could also enrich the customer’s experience, improving the customer journey for all types of clients.

Briefing on US EPA Open Data Strategy using a Linked Data Approach3 Round Stones
An overview presented by Ms. Bernadette Hyland on 18-Nov 2014 on the US EPA Open Data strategy, focusing on the Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (RCRA) dataset to be published as linked data . This work is in support of Presidential Memorandum M13-13 - Open Data Policy and Managing Information as an Asset.
US EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act published as Linked Open Data3 Round Stones
A presentation by 3 Round Stones to the US EPA on the new Linked Open Data Management System, including Linked Open Data on 4M facilities (from FRS), 25 years of Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), chemical substances (SRS), and Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) content. This represents one of the largest Open Data projects published by a federal government agency using Open Source Software (OSS), Open Web Standards and government Open Data.
The W3C Data Shapes Working Group has been chartered in September 2014 to "Produce a language for defining structural constraints on RDF graphs and define graph topologies for interface specification, code development, and data verification." It will do for RDF what XML Schema did for XML.
This brief was presented as part of the RDF-AP Special Session at DCMI 2014, the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative Conference.
Open Data is the idea that "certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control”. Open Data follows similar “open” concepts that have proven to be valuable in the information economy such as Open Standards, Open Source Software, Open Content and has been followed more recently by variations on the theme such as Open Science and Open Government.
Open Data allows information of common value to be reused without needing to be recreated. The economic benefits of Open Data include cost reduction, organizational efficiencies and the facilitation of commonly held understanding. The costs of implementing Open Data deployment strategies tend to be iterative on top of existing information infrastructure.
This presentation will describe Open Data and its place in the ecosystem of economic and governmental discourse.

Improving Scientific Information Sharing by Fostering Reuse - Presentation at...3 Round Stones
Most scientific developments are recorded in published papers and communicated via presentations. Scientific findings are presented within organizations, at conferences, via Webinars and other fora. Yet after delivery to an audience, important information is often left to wither on hard drives, document management systems and even the Web. Accessing the underlying data for scientific findings has been the Achilles Heel of researchers due to closed and proprietary systems. This presentation shows an alternative to sharing scientific information using a Linked Data approach.

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).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.
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.

KEY POINT: Search, discovery and data access approaches have evolved over the last decade and techniques
are beginning to come together. GoPubMed was launched in 2002 as the first semantic search portal. Later,
Microsoft’s Bing, Google’s Knowledge Graph are two of the other well known search engines employing
semantic techniques.
Big data research has grown to include the MapReduce algorithm for handling really large data sets, often
measured in terabytes or greater. This is the kind of data that people at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN
are working on to provide insights into how the universe works, including the recent discovery of the Higgs
Boson, the particle that gives mass to matter.
Under the big top tent of semantic search we’re dealing with different types of content, big, public, complex and
legacy data. Simple, complex and legacy data comes in small, medium and large sizes.
Many government agencies by contrast have lots of small to medium data sets in structured databases. These
databases (and the systems that depend upon them) are not going away however fewer new data warehouse
projects are likely to be started. Data warehouses are widely recognized to be costly to create and maintain,
and change SLOWLY.
The biggest win for governments worldwide who adopt a Web architecture for data publishing is combining data
sets to discover new or previously uncontemplated relationships.

wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other forms of control.
The term “open data” has gained popularity with open data initiatives including data.gov.uk, data.gov and other
government data catalog sites.
Enterprise architects are playing an important role in fostering information-sharing practices. Access to, and use
of, open data will be particularly critical for a business that operate using the Web; organizations should focus on
using open data to enhance business practices that generate growth and innovation.

A sound government information management strategy requires providing CONTEXT and CONFIDENCE to
those accessing and potentially re-using your data.
Giving people have timely access to information, for disaster preparedness, scientific research, policy and
research, the network effect of people helping people is our greatest hope.
On the heels of the recent East Coast hurricane that devastated parts of New York and New Jersey, government
executives suggested that fear of cyber-doom scenarios may be taking too much of our thinking & planning.
According to Secretary Panetta, it may be driving us to unrealistic and potentially dangerous responses to threats
that don’t exist.
The reality is that when disaster strike, people come together and help one another. We don’t see paralysis,
panic and social collapse.
During today’s session, I’ll describe how several agencies and private sector organizations are using Web
technologies and semantics to improve information access and discovery. Simply put, semantic technologies
provide CONTEXT.
15. Growing chorus ...
“We’re moving from managing
documents to managing discrete pieces of
open data and content which can be
tagged, shared, secured, mashed up and
presented in the way that is most useful
for the consumer of that information.”
-- Report on Digital Government: Building a 21st Century Platform to
Better Serve the American People

The Digital Government Strategy sets out to accomplish three things: Access to high quality digital information
& services; procure and manage devices, applications, and data in smart, secure and affordable ways; and unlock
the power of government data to spur innovation.
Governments around the world are defining detailed digital services plans based on open data, open APIs and
open source data platforms. They are defining how governments are publishing data with an eye towards
improving access and re-use. Administrators and program managers are committing to delivery of digital services
using semantic technologies broadly, and Linked Data specifically.

A Web-oriented approach to information sharing has impacted how scientists, researchers, regulators and the
public interacts with government.
Linked data lowers the barriers to re-use and interoperability among multiple, distributed and heterogeneous
data sources.
Access to high-quality Linked Open Data via the Web means millions of researchers and developers will be able
to shorten the time-consuming research process involving data cleansing and modeling.

How do we get a loose coupling of shared data over Web architectures? By using the structured data model for
the Web: RDF.
There is a project to create freely available data on the Web in this way, which is known as the Linked Open
Data project.
W3C sees Linked Data as the set of best practices and technologies to support worldwide data access,
integration and creative re-use of authoritative data.

September 2011: 295 datasets that meet the LOD Cloud criteria, consisting of over 31 billion
RDF triples and are interlinked by around 504 million links.

EPA’s new Linked Data system. Cooperation without coordination. Data reuse breaks the back of API gridlock.
Clay Shirky stole that from me :)

This data is exactly the same data used to create the interface. Unlike traditional database-driven applications,
the data is immediately accessible for reuse by third parties. This prevents data duplication, allows for tracking of
provenance and avoids reinventing the wheel.

Introduce Callimachus, an open source, open data platform based on open standards.
3 Round Stones provides commercial support for Callimachus and is a major contributor to the OS project.
Users of Callimachus see a generated Web interface, but can also directly access the data via REST or SPARQL.
SPARQL Named Queries (like stored procedures) allow for automated conversion to different formats for reuse in
non-RDF environments.

32. Real World
Linked Data

Now let’s look at the same workflow in the Linked Data Service.
33. Finding Hanson Permanente
33
By keeping the application simple - and letting the results be viewed either as a table or a
map - the user can adjust their search as they see fit without extra navigation. Also, by
having the data in a table that can searched or sorted however the user sees fit, finding a
specific facility is as easy as typing the name in or sorting on relevant criteria. This is made
possible by exposing the data, rather than containing it in a standard HTML table.
I fully recognize that Envirofacts could offer identical functionality by tweaking their
application, but the key underlying point is that this application was created very cheaply and
quickly *because* the data is modeled as Linked Data. When the developing environment is a
Web Browser, and the data is described and Linked, an application can be a simple XHMTL
page with JavaScript, instead of a heavy-weight dedicated application.
34. Finding Mercury Released in 2004

34
There are two very important things to note on this page. 1 is that on any facility’s page,
there is always an option to download the data. This data is available in two formats (RDF/
XML and Turtle). With the click of a button a user can have all of the data that was used to
drive the creation of the current page, which means he or she can repurpose that data into
any new application. Note here that this download is not an extract, summary, or recreation
of the data - it is literally the *same* data that was used to drive that page.
2 is that because this page is “data-driven”, navigation relies on exploring the data, not the
system that contains it. On the same page where we get information like it’s latitude and
longitude, we can also find a link to a report detailing exactly how much mercury was
released in 2004. We could easily do an in-page search for 2004 or Mercury to identify the
releases associated with those terms.
35. TRI Report
35
Rather than aggregating the data for presentation, the actual report is presented with the raw
data continuously available in the top right of the page.
A subtle difference to be pointed out here is the difference in the name of the facility.
Previously it was identified as Hanson Permanente, but now it is known as Lehigh Southwest
Cement Co. During the modeling phase, the Linked Data was created to implicitly include this
relationship (which is known via the mapping of EPA FRS identifiers). On the other hand,
pulling down the CSV files would not give the user any obvious way of understanding this
relationship.
36. Data Reuse
36
Developers can grab the data off any page, at any time during navigation. The site facilitates
the reuse of data. These graphs are not natively embedded in the webpage of a given facility.
Rather, by downloading the data the user can quickly and easily make new and different
visualizations for a report or presentation in 10 minutes.
For example, this history of air stack pollution reports was made with a single parameterized
SPARQL query and a single JavaScript pattern. This could very easily be applied to any number
of facilities, changed to a bar graph, or altered in any number of other ways with very little
effort thanks to the fact it was modeled using Linked Data.
37. Potential Audience
✔
• Middle school student doing a science project
✔
• Concerned citizen worried about local pollution
✔Environmental Science PhD from EPA
•
✔
• Doctor from NIH writing a research paper
37
Linked Data allowed us to reach all the members of our potential audience by giving the user
options, aggregating based on relevance rather than data source, and by exposing the data
that drives the service for reuse.
The middle school student or concerned citizen that want to know the location of a facility,
the amount of a particular chemical it released, and the year it was released in never have to
click any of the options in the Linked Data box. They can simply use the interface, explore
the data, and find what they need in a read-only experience.
The Environmental Science PhD is still able to find what he is looking for with Linked Data but
can do so in a much more intuitive way. The doctor from NIH is now able to find the data
they’re interested in and if they choose to take the next step, download the actual data
behind the page. By quickly and easily obtaining the raw data, anyone from scientists to
journalists can generate their own applications without any knowledge of the Linked Data
Service itself.
40. The mission of the Government Linked
Data (GLD) Working Group is to
provide standards and other information
which help governments around the
world publish their data as effective and
usable Linked Data using Semantic Web
technologies.

We are 16 months into the Government Linked Data Working group’s two year charter.
