This document discusses using network visualization to analyze cultural heritage documents. It provides an example of visualizing relationships within the Occupy Wall Street project list. Networks can represent various types of relationships, like organizations and linguistic associations. Cultural documents often contain information about relationships that can be explored through network analysis. The document outlines the data structure for networks, including edge and node tables. It also discusses using the Gephi software to analyze and visualize networks, and provides some examples of network analyses like categorization, collaboration, and provenance.
This document discusses the future of semantic wikis. It predicts that applications with semantic wiki capabilities but not called wikis, like Google Docs and Microsoft SharePoint, will become more common. It also suggests that semantic forms and WYSIWYG editing may replace wiki text syntax for non-technical users. Additionally, it acknowledges challenges in mapping complex knowledge structures to the page-level granularity of wikis and balancing more expressive reasoning with consistency maintenance.

Building innovation community sites in sharepoint 2013Frank Hatzack
This document summarizes the authors' experience building innovation community sites on SharePoint 2013. They found the Office integration, mobile access, app store, and social/collaborative features worked well with only minor bugs. They created sites for an idea sharing portal, R&D community, and department collaboration that met community needs through feedback and testing. While mobile views had some issues, the authors were positively surprised by how easy SharePoint 2013 made building engaging social sites and believe it is ready for enterprises, though adoption may be challenging without digital proficiency.
This document discusses how gamification and key productivity features in SharePoint 2013 can improve user engagement and collaboration. It begins by defining gamification and productivity, then outlines business problems like adoption issues that these strategies aim to address. The document explores six key productivity features in SharePoint 2013 like the app model and activity feeds. It argues gamification principles can extend a productivity strategy by satisfying basic human desires through mechanics like rewards and competition. Examples of potential gamification activities and challenges are provided. The document concludes by emphasizing gamification must align with business goals and defining what success looks like for an organization.
The document discusses Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), an extension that allows wikis to store and query structured data. SMW allows wikis to function as both unstructured collaborative documents and structured databases. It enables features like online forms, search, and automatic page generation. SMW can export data as open data in RDF format, and can also import and consume external open data sources. While powerful, SMW has opportunities for improved user interfaces, access controls, and community involvement.
Semantic MediaWik as Co-Creation Tool - Digital Humanities Austria #DHA2015Bernhard Krabina
This document discusses the use of Semantic MediaWiki as a tool for co-creation. It describes how the Vienna History Wiki uses Semantic MediaWiki to digitize a printed encyclopedia, store facts within wiki pages, and export data as open data. Key features highlighted include structured data entry, faceted search, querying data, and automatically generating pages from the stored information. The document argues that Semantic MediaWiki provides an open-source, easy to use tool for collaborative knowledge management and sharing information as open data.
Semantic MediaWiki - Knowledge Management and Open Data Use CasesBernhard Krabina
Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) is a full-fledged, open source knowledge management system based on MediaWiki, the software used for Wikipedia. It enables wikis not only to manage textual information, but to define, store and retrieve data to be used inside the wiki (for querying, displaying, aggregating) as well as outside of the wiki. In can be used to produce Open Data, or to consume and re-use Open Data. Many Open Data initiatives lack the viewpoint of internal data monitoring, where SMW can play a vital part not only in identifying relevant datasets, but also in setting up procedures for identifying datasets to be published.

Knowledge Graph Conference 2021
Semantic MediaWiki (SMW), which was introduced as early as in 2006, has since gone on to establish a vital community and is currently one of the few semantic wiki solutions still in existence. SMW is an extension of MediaWiki, the software used for Wikipedia and many other projects, resulting in a largely sustainable codebase and ecosystem. There are many reasons why SMW should not be overlooked by the knowledge graph community:
SMW is capable of directly connecting to several triple stores (Blazegraph, Virtuoso, Jena), which is why it can be considered an interface for entering data into knowledge graphs.
SMW can use its internal relational database (or ElasticSearch), enabling users to build simple knowledge graphs without in-depth knowledge about triple stores.
SMW has the built-in capability of exporting to RDF including building complete RDF data dumps that can be imported into existing knowledge graphs.
SMW has the capability to reuse existing ontologies by importing vocabularies and providing unique identifiers.
The explicit semantic content of Semantic MediaWiki is formally interpreted in the OWL DL ontology language and is made available in XML/RDF format.
A simple internal query language is available to query the internal knowledge graph from within SMW, without the requirement of having a SPARQL endpoint. However, extensions for implementing SPARQL in SMW are available as well.
SMW has the capability to enable data curation for experienced users responsible for the ontology as well as simple form-based input for regular users that can easily populate the KG with data.
There are several approaches to visualizing data in SMW, thus making the knowledge graph visible and interactive.
Implementing custom ontologies in SMW is quite easy, everything is built-in wiki pages (e.g. definition of properties and datatypes, forms and templates).
SMW has low barriers to implementation as it is a clean extension to MediaWiki, which is PHP software running on regular web hosts.
In the talk, I will give an overview of the mentioned aspects and highlight some main differences to Wikibase – which is an alternative approach for managing structured data in MediaWiki – as well as the current limitations of SMW.
This document discusses knowledge wikis and Semantic MediaWiki (SMW). SMW adds structured data and semantic web capabilities to MediaWiki wikis. It allows defining classes, properties, and relationships to build a knowledge graph. Properties can link to external vocabularies and identifiers. SMW supports querying the graph through its internal query language or by exporting data to a SPARQL endpoint. Use cases mentioned include history, knowledge management, and research wikis. The presenter is an expert in knowledge management and SMW who consults on its implementation and best practices.
This document discusses semantic wikis and their advantages over traditional wikis. Semantic wikis add structured metadata to wiki pages, allowing knowledge to be made explicit and formal. This facilitates consensus over data, combines low-expressivity data authorship with traditional wiki features, and makes content more interoperable between systems. Semantic MediaWiki is highlighted as a popular open-source semantic wiki platform that extends MediaWiki with typed links and properties to add semantic structure.

Semantic Wiki: Social Semantic Web in UseJesse Wang
This is my invited talk on Semantic Wiki to the Key Lab of Intelligent Information Processing at Fudan University in Shanghai during ASWC 2009 when I gave a similar tutorial on semantic mediawiki and applications.
A wiki is a website that allows collaborative editing of its content and structure by its users. Wikis are easy to update and customize. The most well-known wiki is Wikipedia, which hosts over 10 million articles across 253 languages as of 2008. Wikis can be used by communities, organizations, schools, and businesses to collaboratively author and edit documents, manage projects, and share information in a central location. Common uses of wikis include establishing an internal company website or intranet, organizing meeting notes and documents, and managing calendars and agendas. Popular wiki platforms include WikiSpaces, MediaWiki, and PBWiki.
This presentation gives a brief overview on achievements and challenges of the Data Web and describes different aspects of using the Semantic Data Wiki OntoWiki for Linked Data management.

Linked Data has become a broadly adopted approach for information management and data management not only by government organisations but also more and more by various industries.
Enterprise linked data tackles several challenges like the improvement of information retrieval tools or the integration of distributed data silos. Enterprises understand better and better why their information management should not be limited by organisational boundaries but should rather consider to integrate and link information from different spheres like the public internet, government organisations, professional information providers, customers and even suppliers.
On the other hand, enterprise IT architects still tend to pull down the shutters wherever possible. The continuation of the success of the Semantic Web doesn't seem to be limited by technical barriers anymore but rather by people's mindsets of intranets being strictly cut off from other information sources.
In this talk I will throw new light on the reasons why metadata is key for professional information management, and why W3C's semantic web standards are so important to reduce costs of data management through economies of scale. I will discuss from a multi-stakeholder perspective several use cases for the industrialization of semantic technologies and linked data.
In many countries, the remediation of in-house pollutants such as PCB and asbestos has come into the focus. We want to show how SMW powered pollutant register and mapping can be used to document measurements, direct remedial actions and inform stakeholders.
This document discusses using entity matching to enrich wiki content in a semantic virtual research environment. It presents a problem of linking entities within a wiki to external data sources to add additional attributes. It then outlines the development of a solution as a MediaWiki/Semantic MediaWiki plugin to address this. The solution architecture involves entity selection, matching entities to external sources using existing frameworks, and integrating additional data for review. An evaluation assesses achievement of objectives and identifies opportunities for future improvement.

The Historical Wiki of Vienna is a collaborative online knowledge base about the history of Vienna, Austria's largest city. It was created through a partnership between the Municipal and Provincial Archives of Vienna and the Vienna City Library. The wiki brings together historical information from these institutions and external experts, with the goal of building a comprehensive, georeferenced digital resource about Vienna's history. Content comes from digitizing an existing historical encyclopedia about Vienna and ongoing contributions from editorial staff and external contributors. Over 28,000 articles and 1,400 images provide information on people, locations, buildings, organizations, and events.
The document discusses the use of Semantic MediaWiki (SMW) by the IT department of the Lower Austrian provincial government for network documentation, open government data, and other projects. SMW is used to dynamically generate and semantically query documentation about the government's network infrastructure, publish open data on the intranet and internet, and document batch job and server information. The old static documentation methods are replaced with full-text search, reusable content, and generated reports using SMW.

The MediaWiki extension "Approved Revs" is great for giving admins the ability to approve edits before allowing them to be displayed to the world. However the current version does not allow certain users to approve some pages and other users to approve other pages. The upcoming release of Approved Revs v1.0 will give this capability. Additionally, it allows approval of files.
What is digital sustainability and what do open source communities have to do with it? The talk will introduce the concept of digital sustainability, discuss characteristics of digital resources that make them sustainable, and explain why and how communities of open source communities create digitally sustainable software. Examples of different community activities such as the LibreOffice project illustrate how collaboration works in various open source initiatives.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
A neural network is a machine learning program, or model, that makes decisions in a manner similar to the human brain, by using processes that mimic the way biological neurons work together to identify phenomena, weigh options and arrive at conclusions.

Why Apache Kafka Clusters Are Like Galaxies (And Other Cosmic Kafka Quandarie...Paul Brebner
Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.

Wikis and Web 2.0 – „Wikimania“
wikis became well-known through Wikipedia
technologically, nothing groundbraking
Hypertext system, usually with database
simple user interface, full text search
social software
everyone can make changes: initial idea of WWW!
wisdom of the crowd
shared knowledge creation and quality management
knowledge creation „on the fly“
no need to pre-define structure
links to non-existing pages generate ideas for others
Wiki Software:
> 100 Wiki engines on www.wikimatrix.org
Most of them Open-Source: no license cost
some like MediaWiki very stable with big community

Transparency = Wiki
Everyone can view/edit everything
Restrictions on actions (who can view/edit), not on content types (what)
Changes visible
Easy rollback
Advantage: enables cultural change!

Wikis are great for text…
easy to use, easy to edit
full text search
Categories to organise pages
Wikis have weaknesses for knowledge management!
no data, only text: 995 32
no relations, just links: Tbilisi —> Krakow
no querying of data
lack of structure leads to manual effort
manual edited lists (List of danube bridges, list of Autrian museums by city)

Don underestimate organizational success factors
content that users need
not to be confused with content that organization whishes for!
culture of trust and appreciation
everybody can see everything and change everything
users can‘t do anything wrong – errors can be undone easily
motivation and pressure
managers need to be role models and actively support the project
no redundant content: turn off alternative sources!
obligations to use the wiki
quantity and quality of content
Initial content is important! no-one feels at home in empty rooms
usability und fun
design, acces to wiki, (single-sign-on, RSS-feeds, intranet)
forms for data input, avoid too much wikitext for regular users
