The document discusses open data and its benefits. It outlines 5 levels or "stars" of open data, with 5 stars being the most open. Open government data can include transportation and financial data, helping cities and giving citizens visibility. A pilot open data project is proposed, starting with one UNDP dataset to understand features and stakeholder needs before a larger launch. The pilot would test an API or open data platform over 2-3 months to inform a full open data service.
The document discusses efforts to put spatial information into the hands of customers in Queensland, Australia. It outlines (1) understanding customer needs through characteristics like interests and technology skills, (2) adopting approaches like business tools with spatial components and specialized interfaces, and (3) providing access through data downloads, web services, and visualization tools. The goal is to make information accessible online through consistent and federated systems, while addressing challenges like staying relevant to evolving technologies and industries.
Enterprise Social Networking, Cox Enterprises: Living the Case StudyTAG Enterprise 2.0
Cox Enterprises (CEI) is one of the nation's leading media companies and providers of automotive services, so what are they doing about social media and the emerging forms of collaborative computing?

The team created a mobile-first web app to track an expedition to the North Pole and boost donations for charities. The app retrieves daily data from the explorers' Microsoft Bands, including location, heart rate, distance and calories. This data is used to generate interactive maps, graphs and animations on the website. The goal is to enhance user engagement and drive more conversions of visitors to donations. The fully automated workflow retrieves data from the Microsoft Health API and uses Azure services to host the responsive website built with Node.js, Express and other technologies.
The document discusses how cloud computing and digital networks can drive business model innovation. It introduces a cloud enablement framework that categorizes companies based on how their use of cloud impacts value propositions and value chains. Companies are classified as optimizers, innovators, or disruptors. Optimizers use cloud to incrementally enhance customer value, innovators significantly increase customer value through new revenue streams, and disruptors invent new value propositions by creating customer needs they were unaware of. Examples of each category are provided.

How to Engage Your Readers with Powerful InfographicsJon Hirst
This document provides guidance on creating effective infographics to engage readers. It discusses the challenges of too much unfiltered information and consumers who skim rather than read deeply. Good infographics require curating meaningful data, following influencers, reading intentionally, and knowing where to find related information. When popularizing complex concepts, simplicity through idea chunks, understandable visuals, and accessible, actionable information is key. Infographics must show, not tell, balance design and content, and ensure the visuals accurately represent the data without adding confusion or changing the meaning. The process involves identifying impactful data insights, packaging them compellingly, adding a hook, and developing a cohesive visual narrative and structure that is easy to follow and share.
This version of the presentation was given at the 2014 Evangelical Press Association event. It helps knowledge workers to consider how they can move beyond the complexity of their world to simple and elegant solutions.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.

ViewShift: Hassle-free Dynamic Policy Enforcement for Every Data LakeWalaa Eldin Moustafa
Dynamic policy enforcement is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s world where data privacy and compliance is a top priority for companies, individuals, and regulators alike. In these slides, we discuss how LinkedIn implements a powerful dynamic policy enforcement engine, called ViewShift, and integrates it within its data lake. We show the query engine architecture and how catalog implementations can automatically route table resolutions to compliance-enforcing SQL views. Such views have a set of very interesting properties: (1) They are auto-generated from declarative data annotations. (2) They respect user-level consent and preferences (3) They are context-aware, encoding a different set of transformations for different use cases (4) They are portable; while the SQL logic is only implemented in one SQL dialect, it is accessible in all engines.
