By applying data integration automation, you save time, reduce manual effort, and ensure you get the most out of your LiDAR data.
Database Comparison and ArcMap Data Driven PagesSafe Software
When working with databases of large sewer systems, it is important to document the changes to the database over time. Ramboll have developed a tool in FME, that not only document changes between database versions, but also generates maps of the updated objects using Data Driven Pages in ArcMap. The comparison tells which objects and attributes that have changed, keeping both the old and new attribute value. When generating the maps, the most critical attributes are labelled for a quick visual comparison. But for deeper insight of the changes, all updated attributes are saved in the comparison database.
This presentation will explore several instances where FME has been used to automate complex engineering processes and has either saved time, or improved the end product.
NE developed this workflow to assist the GIS - CAD data integration and to disseminate data access outside of the GIS group. A geodatabase is created to organize the cad drawings (DWG) while giving non-GIS users access via a webmap, and the ability to export specific project areas to a DWG format.
Before this solution, our DWG files were stored using their respective project number as their names; management noticed that drafters were working on areas where we had previously worked, but instead of reusing the latest DWG files, they were drafting the project from scratch, resulting in a non-optimized workflow.
FME Spatial Querying in a CAD-Driven GISSafe Software
Ponderosa has used AutoCAD Map 3D and Microsoft SQL Server as its primary GIS for over 10 years. Having DWG objects stored with real world coordinates has allowed Ponderosa to manage its telecom infrastructure by providing accurate locations for underground locators, footage information to qualify available services as well as detailed maps for engineering and planning purposes.
In the past 5-years, regulatory requirements have relied more and more on GIS data to support reports that require a variety of GIS layer overlay including Census Blocks, Census Tracts and Zip code Boundaries. Limited GIS tools in AutoCAD have proven to be inefficient and time consuming in running some the required queries and analysis. This class will focus on how FME's robust GIS querying functionality was used to save hundreds of hours in querying and analyzing GIS data stored in AutoCAD Map 3d and SQL Server.
With information available in more systems than ever, how do we make sense of it all? Here are a few examples of how people have blended large amounts of data across the web and enterprise, and turned it into something useful and visually pleasing.

The New Role of Data in the Changing Energy & Utilities LandscapeDenodo
Watch full webinar here: https://bit.ly/3PrxEx2
Energy companies - both producers and utilities - are facing a challenging and changing business and regulatory environment over the next decade or so. As governments around the world pledge to be 'net zero' by 2050, new regulations are putting pressure on energy companies to accelerate the move to renewable energy sources whilst at the same time gearing up for more widespread electrification as consumers move away from carbon fuels.
The growth of renewable energy sources has also changed the way that utilities manage demand response. The old way of bringing generating units (typically coal or gas-fueled generators) online for peak demand hours no longer works. The distributed utility infrastructure that is used today requires a lot more flexibility and planning to meet - and to shape - consumer demand.
At the heart of the energy company challenges is data. Data to better manage and optimize the generating resources. Data to better inform the consumers about their energy consumption. And data to deliver better services and new product offerings to those consumers.
In this webinar, we will look at how energy companies and utilities can liberate and democratize their data to better utilize the strategic data assets that they already own. We will look at how the Denodo Platform, powered by Data Virtualization, has helped energy companies around the world access real-time data to drive their operations and allow them to respond to the ever-changing business environment.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
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.

30. Problem:
Migrate from a drawing
based CAD platform to
the GE Smallworld GIS
Goal: Transfer CAD to GIS
with minimum data
loss
Looks simple, but the devil
is in the custom transformer
details…
- Snap and clean-up
- Create areas
- Match text
and more…
31. Validate:
Check the outcome in the Smallworld
GIS:
Important part of
checking outcome is also
checking for data in
editor window in SW
32. Of course the same process works the
other way. Atmos are able to
transform Smallworld objects to
AutoCAD.
But that’s a story for
another day…
