This document describes the Constellation Query Language (CQL), which is a semantic modeling language developed by Data Constellation. CQL allows users to define objects, facts, and relationships through a simple syntax and natural language statements. It then supports querying this semantic model through a query language. CQL aims to capture meaning through fine-grained semantics while avoiding encoding assumptions into attributes. It can automatically map semantic models defined in CQL into other data models like object-oriented and entity-relationship models as well as code.

This is an interesting metadata source. Can I import it into Koha?Dobrica Pavlinušić
This document discusses adding metadata to approximately 6000 scans of book front pages from a library in Požega, Croatia. The proposed solution is to import the images into Koha and create initial MARC records from the filenames. Additional metadata would be scraped from various sources like the National Library using a script that provides a Z39.50 interface for Koha, avoiding manual data entry. This "scrape-cataloguing" allows metadata to be harvested programmatically from sources without Z39.50 access.
Post-relational databases: What's wrong with web development?Dobrica Pavlinušić
This document discusses post-relational databases and how they have evolved over time from mainframes to the modern web. It focuses on NoSQL databases like CouchDB and Riak that use JSON and are well-suited for web applications. CouchDB allows for asynchronous processes through triggers and offline applications through replication. AngularJS is highlighted as a way to build applications with CouchDB that avoid complexity through the use of JSON, HTML templates, and JavaScript controllers.

Towards an Instructional Design Motivational Framework to Address the Retenti...Dr Stylianos Mystakidis
Presentation of the paper "Addressing the Retention Gap in MOOCs: Towards a Motivational Framework for MOOCs Instructional Design" at EARLI 2015 conference.
Existing design schemes of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) usually focus on pedagogy, assessment and technology and rarely take into account learners’ experience and motivation. Drawing from the success of quest-based initiatives, gamified web platforms, and multi-user digital games, this paper introduces an innovative motivational framework for MOOCs instructional design coined as Open Quest Framework (OpenQuest). The framework is grounded on established motivational theories such as the Self-Determination Theory and Situated Motivational Affordance. It features specific motivational mechanisms including, quests and narration, reputation systems, progression mechanisms, multiple learning pathways, well-designed feedback and social elements, that can be used to enhance learners' engagement and reduce attrition rates in MOOCs.

This document discusses the social show LG15, which started as a viral video blog in 2006 and became an internet phenomenon. LG15 used a transmedia approach, spreading its narrative across videos, fan videos, comments, forums and other social media. The show engaged fans to help evolve the story. It also discusses concepts like the materiality of the medium and the constant negotiation over a work's meaning between its producers, medium and community. The document was written by Burcu S. Bakioglu and provides her contact information.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.

A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
