The document discusses the Web of Data and limitations of the current web. It describes how an intelligent agent can integrate data from multiple web sources by understanding structured statements and linking related resources. The agent builds a graph connecting information about a person from their homepage, Amazon, and LinkedIn pages by identifying same resources using properties like ISBN and linking them together. This process demonstrates how automated data integration on the semantic web can discover new implicit facts by aggregating explicit statements from different websites.

Can You Really Make Best Use of Big Data?R A Akerkar
How big is big? What are the precise criteria for a data set to be considered big data? At least three major factors that contribute to the bigness of big data: Ubiquity and variety of data capturing devices for different types of information
Increase data resolution. Super-linear scaling of data production rate with data producers. Although big data has other dimensions too but these are not inherent to the "bigness" of big data.
Can we see additional value in linking and exploiting big data for business and societal benefit?
If we bring together numerous data sources to provide a single reference point then we start to derive new value.
Until then, we simply risk creating new data silos.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Limitations of the Current Web
Too much information with too little structure
and made for human consumption
Content search is very simplistic
future requires better methods
Web content is heterogeneous
in terms of content
in terms of structure
in terms of character encoding
Future requires intelligent information integration
q g g
Humans can derive new (implicit) information from given
pieces of information but on the current Web, we can only deal
with syntax, requires automated reasoning techniques
R. Akerkar 3
4. Data Integration on the Web
Data integration on the Web refers to the
process of combining and aggregating
information resources on the Web so they y
could be collectively useful to us.
Goal
for a given resource (say a person an idea an
(say, person, idea,
event, or a product), we would like to know
everything that has been said about it.
R. Akerkar 4
5. Myself as the resource
resource.
Assume we have already built a “smart”
smart
agent,which will walk around the Web
to find everything about me
me.
R. Akerkar 5
6. To get our smart agent started we feed it
started,
with the URL of my personal home page
http:www.tmrfindia.org/ra.html
Agent downloads this page and tries to
collect information from this page
R. Akerkar 6
7. Web page - a traditional Web document
Our agent is able to understand HTML
language constructs,
<p>, <br>, <href>, <table> and <li>
R. Akerkar 7
8. Web page – non-traditional Web
document
besides the HTML constructs, it actually contains
some “statements”
These statements follow the same simple structure
each one of them represents one aspect of the given
resource
ns0:RajendraAkerkar ns0:name ”Rajendra Akerkar".
ns0:RajendraAkerkar ns0:title ”Professor".
ns0:RajendraAkerkar ns0:author <ns0: x>
<ns0:_x>.
ns0:_x ns0:ISBN "978-1-84265-535-1".
ns0:_x ns0:publisher <http://www.alphasci.com>.
R. Akerkar 8
9. Namespace - a mechanism for abbreviating URIs
ns0 represents a namespace, so that we
know everything, with ns0 as its prefix, is
collected from the same Web page.
ns0:RajendraAkerkar represents a
resource that is described by my Web
page;in thi case, thi resource i me.
i this this is
So,
resource 0 R j d Ak k
reso rce ns0:RajendraAkerkar has a
ns0:name property whose value is
RajendraAkerkar
R. Akerkar 9
10. 2nd statement claims the ns0:title property of resource
ns0:RajendraAkerkar has a value givenby Professor.
3rd statement is unusual.
When specifying the value of ns0:author p p y for resource
p y g property
ns0:RajendraAkerkar, instead of using a simple character
string as its value, it uses another resource, and this resource
is identified by ns0:_x. To make this fact more obvious,
ns0: x i i l d d b <>
0 is included by <>.
4th statement specifies the value of ns0:ISBN property of
resource ns0:_x
the l t t t
th last statement specifies the value of ns0:publisher
t ifi th l f
property of the same resource.
the value of this property is not a character sting, but another
resource identified by htt //

these statements?

13. Agent hits another Web page
www.amazon.com
Existing amazon: agent doesn’t know how to
retrieve information about ISBN number
New amazon: agent can collect statements, such as
ns1:book-1842655353 ns1:ISBN "978-1-84265-535-1".
ns1:book 1842655353
ns1:book-1842655353 ns1:price USD 68.80.
ns1:book-1842655353 ns1:customerReview "4 star".
Similar to namespace prefix ns0,
ns1 represents another names-pace prefix.

R. Akerkar 13
15. Obvious fact for us
ns0: x,as a resource represents exactly the same
p y
item denoted by the resource named
ns1:book-1842655353
Observation:
a person who has a home page with its URL given by
http://www.tmrfindia.org/ra.html h a b k
// i i / has book
published and the latest price of that book is US $68.80 on
Amazon.
Fact i
F t is not explicitly stated on either one of the Websites,
t li itl t t d ith f th W b it
but we have integrated the information to reach this
conclusion.
R. Akerkar 15
16. Agent does data integration
makes a connection between two appearances of
ISBN in two different sets of statements
It will then automatically add the following new
statement to its original statement collection:
ns0:_x sameAs ns1:book-1842655353
This process is exactly the data integration process
on the Web
Graph?
R. Akerkar 16
18. What agent can do?
answer lots of questions that we might have
For example,
example
what is the price of the book written by a person
whose home page is given by URLURL,
http:www.tmrfindia.org/ra.html
R. Akerkar 18
19. Yet another attempt
Let us say now our agent hits
www.linkedIn.com.
If LinkedIn were still the LinkedIn today, our
y,
agent could not do much.
However, assume LinkedIn is a new LinkedIn
and our agent is able to collect quite a few
statements from this Web site.
ns2:RajendraAkerkar ns2:email ”akerkar8@gmail com".
akerkar8@gmail.com
ns2:RajendraAkerkar ns2:companyWebsite "http://www.vestforsk.no".
ns2:RajendraAkerkar ns2:connectedTo <ns2:Jacques>.

ns2:address
ns2:email ns2:connectedTo
akerkar8@gmail.com
ns2:Norway ns2:country
ns2:Jacques
R. Akerkar 20
21. We know ns0:RajendraAkerkar and
ns2:RajendraAkerkar represent exactly the same resource,
because both these two resources have the same e-mail address.
For our agent, just by comparing the two identities
(ns0:RajendraAkerkar vs. ns2:RajendraAkerkar)does not
( 0 R j d Ak k 2 R j d Ak k )d t
ensure the fact that these two resources are the same.
However, if we can “teach” our agent the following fact:
If the e-mail property of resource A has th same value as th e-
th il t f h the l the
mail property of resource B, then resources A and B are the same
resource.
Then our agent will be able to automatically add the following new
statement to its current statement collection:
ns0:RajendraAkerkar sameAs ns2:RajendraAkerkar.
R. Akerkar 21
22. With the creation of this new statement our
statement,
agent has in fact integrated graphs by
overlapping nodes
pp g
Now, agent will be able to answer more
questions:
What is Rajendra’s company website?
How much does it cost to buy Rajendra’s book?
Rajendra s
Which country does Rajendra live in?
Agent answers using integrated graph
R. Akerkar 22
23. Automatic data integration
Obviously, the set of questions that our agent is able
to answer grows by hitting more Web documents.
We can continue to move onto another Web site so
as to add more statements to our agent’s collection.
Automatic data integration on the Web can be quite
powerful and can help us a lot when it comes to
information discovery and retrieval.
R. Akerkar 23
24. Smart Data Integration Agent
The Web and the agent
The W b
Th Web – change f
h from it t diti
its traditional form
lf
Each statement collected by our agent represents a piece of knowledge
(a model to represent knowledge on the Web)
Such model of representing knowledge has to be easily and readily
processed (understood) by machines.
This model has to be accepted as a standard by all the Web sites (share
a common pattern).
Way to create such statements (manually or automatically)
The statements contained in different Web sites can not be completely
arbitrary (e.g., to describe a person, we have some common terms such
as name, birthdate, and home page)
Agreement on common terms and relationships
A new breed of Web …!!!
R. Akerkar 24
25. Smart Data Integration Agent
Agent - new agent
Agent has to be able to understand each statement that it collects. By
understanding the common terms and relationships that are used to
create these statements.
Agent has to be able to conduct reasoning based on its understanding
of the common terms and relationships.
For example, knowing the fact that resources A and B have the same e-mail
example e mail
address and considering the knowledge expressed by the common terms
and relationships, it should be able to conclude that A and B are infact the
same resource.
Agent should be able to process some common queries that are
submitted against thestatements it has collected.
Some more to be included ...
R. Akerkar 25
26. The Idea of the Semantic Web
The Semantic Web provides the technologies
and standards that we need to make the
following p
g possible:
adds machine-understandable meanings to the
current Web, so that
computers can understand the Web documents
and therefore can automatically
accomplish tasks that have been otherwise conducted
manually, on a large scale.
R. Akerkar 26
27. Idea of the Semantic Web
The Semantic Web provides the technologies and
standards that we need to make our agent possible
A brand new layer built on top of the current Web,
and it adds machine understandable meanings (or
“semantics”) to the current Web.
“ ti ”) t th tW b
The Semantic Web is certainly more than automatic
data integration on a large scale.
R. Akerkar 27
28. What is the Semantic Web?
The Semantic Web: … content that is meaningful tog
computers [and that] will unleash a revolution of new
possibilities … Properly designed, the Semantic Web can
assist the evolution of human knowledge …”
