How Linked Data provides federated and platform independent solution to challenges associated with:
1. Identity
2. Data Access & Integration
3. Precision Find.
Microsoft ADO.NET Data Services enables the creation of REST-based data services that can expose data from any source and be consumed by rich internet applications. It provides libraries and client components to quickly build data services that present data using a uniform URI syntax and standard HTTP operations. These data services can then power interactive experiences when combined with technologies like AJAX and Silverlight.
Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is a process that provides a single interface and data representation to make heterogeneous data sources appear as a single homogeneous source. EII faces challenges as data can be stored in various formats across different systems. Technologies like ADO.NET and JDBC help access these different data sources. EII architecture supports various data sources, SQL queries across sources, and views of integrated data. EII aims to integrate both structured and unstructured enterprise information for uses like reporting, data warehousing, and applications. Commercial tools like WebSphere Studio and WebSphere Information Integrator provide EII capabilities.
As the need for "right-time" information becomes more prevalent, organizations are looking to new information delivery methods such as Enterprise Information Integration (EII). It's more than a distributed query, but where do vendors over-promise and under-deliver? This presentation will explain EII, how it's different from other integration technologies, and the underlying mechanisms. The goal is to outline areas where EII is a good fit and areas where other tools may be more appropriate.

Hybrid Identity Management with SharePoint and Office 365 - Antonio MaioAntonioMaio2
Â
Strong identity management is the foundation of any organization's security strategies. With the many online services available and constant public reports of massive identity theft, businesses and consumers are becoming increasingly concerned with protecting identities and the information they contain. In business, these identities represent our employees, our partners and of our clients. Moving into a hybrid environment with SharePoint on premise and Office 365 can pose challenges in how you protect those identities and enable easy access to cloud based services. This topic will discuss key considerations and the many options available for implementing a strong identity management strategy in a hybrid environment, so that organizations can work securely with on premise resources and Office 365.
The document discusses ADO.Net Entity Framework. It describes how the Entity Framework provides a graphical representation of database relationships to make them easier to understand. It uses XML files to define conceptual, storage, and mapping models. These models define how the database appears to applications, storage, and how the two are mapped. The Entity Framework supports database first, design first, and code first approaches. Lambda expressions and LINQ to Entities are used to query data. Advantages include easy CRUD operations and managing relationships.
SPSTC18 Laying Down the Law - Governing Your Data in O365David Broussard
Â
Have you ever wanted to tell your users "I am the LAW!" when they ask why they have to tag a file in SharePoint? This session looks at what governance is, why its important, why our data is like laundry, and what tools Microsoft gives us to help you rein in your users and lay down the law!
The document discusses using linked data to solve problems of identity and data access/integration. It describes linked data as data that is accessible over HTTP and implicitly associated with metadata. It then outlines problems around identity, such as repeating credentials across different apps/enterprises. The solution proposed is assigning individuals HTTP-based IDs and binding IDs to certificates and profiles. Problems of data silos across different databases and apps are also described, with the solution being to generate conceptual views over heterogeneous sources using middleware and RDF.
The document discusses the concepts of linked data, how it can be created and deployed from various data sources, and how it can be exploited. Linked data allows accessing data on the web by reference using HTTP-based URIs and RDF, forming a giant global graph. It can be generated from existing web pages, services, databases and content, and deployed using a linked data server. Exploiting linked data allows discovery, integration and conceptual interaction across silos of heterogeneous data on the web and in enterprises.
The document discusses data portability and linked data spaces. It argues that data should belong to individuals rather than applications to avoid lock-in. Data portability allows data to be accessed across applications through standard formats and by reference using identifiers. This helps address issues of information overload and the rise of individualized real-time enterprises as people use multiple applications. The document presents an example data portability platform called ODS that exposes individual data through shared ontologies, allows SPARQL querying, and generates RDF from various data sources.

Cloud Modernization and Data as a Service OptionDenodo
Â
Watch here: https://bit.ly/36tEThx
The current data landscape is fragmented, not just in location but also in terms of shape and processing paradigms. Cloud has become a key component of modern architecture design. Data lakes, IoT, NoSQL, SaaS, etc. coexist with relational databases to fuel the needs of modern analytics, ML and AI. Exploring and understanding the data available within your organization is a time-consuming task. Dealing with bureaucracy, different languages and protocols, and the definition of ingestion pipelines to load that data into your data lake can be complex. And all of this without even knowing if that data will be useful at all.
Attend this session to learn:
- How dynamic data challenges and the speed of change requires a new approach to data architecture – one that is real-time, agile and doesn’t rely on physical data movement.
- Learn how logical data architecture can enable organizations to transition data faster to the cloud with zero downtime and ultimately deliver faster time to insight.
- Explore how data as a service and other API management capabilities is a must in a hybrid cloud environment.

HCL Nomad Web wird als die nächste Generation des HCL Notes-Clients gefeiert und bietet zahlreiche Vorteile, wie die Beseitigung des Bedarfs an Paketierung, Verteilung und Installation. Nomad Web-Client-Updates werden “automatisch” im Hintergrund installiert, was den administrativen Aufwand im Vergleich zu traditionellen HCL Notes-Clients erheblich reduziert. Allerdings stellt die Fehlerbehebung in Nomad Web im Vergleich zum Notes-Client einzigartige Herausforderungen dar.
Begleiten Sie Christoph und Marc, während sie demonstrieren, wie der Fehlerbehebungsprozess in HCL Nomad Web vereinfacht werden kann, um eine reibungslose und effiziente Benutzererfahrung zu gewährleisten.
In diesem Webinar werden wir effektive Strategien zur Diagnose und Lösung häufiger Probleme in HCL Nomad Web untersuchen, einschließlich
- Zugriff auf die Konsole
- Auffinden und Interpretieren von Protokolldateien
- Zugriff auf den Datenordner im Cache des Browsers (unter Verwendung von OPFS)
- Verständnis der Unterschiede zwischen Einzel- und Mehrbenutzerszenarien
- Nutzung der Client Clocking-Funktion

Webinar - Top 5 Backup Mistakes MSPs and Businesses Make .pptxMSP360
Â
Data loss can be devastating — especially when you discover it while trying to recover. All too often, it happens due to mistakes in your backup strategy. Whether you work for an MSP or within an organization, your company is susceptible to common backup mistakes that leave data vulnerable, productivity in question, and compliance at risk.
Join 4-time Microsoft MVP Nick Cavalancia as he breaks down the top five backup mistakes businesses and MSPs make—and, more importantly, explains how to prevent them.
Hybridize Functions: A Tool for Automatically Refactoring Imperative Deep Lea...Raffi Khatchadourian
Â
Efficiency is essential to support responsiveness w.r.t. ever-growing datasets, especially for Deep Learning (DL) systems. DL frameworks have traditionally embraced deferred execution-style DL code—supporting symbolic, graph-based Deep Neural Network (DNN) computation. While scalable, such development is error-prone, non-intuitive, and difficult to debug. Consequently, more natural, imperative DL frameworks encouraging eager execution have emerged but at the expense of run-time performance. Though hybrid approaches aim for the “best of both worlds,” using them effectively requires subtle considerations to make code amenable to safe, accurate, and efficient graph execution—avoiding performance bottlenecks and semantically inequivalent results. We discuss the engineering aspects of a refactoring tool that automatically determines when it is safe and potentially advantageous to migrate imperative DL code to graph execution and vice-versa.

Presented by BookNet Canada and the Association of Canadian Publishers on May 1, 2025 with support from the Department of Canadian Heritage.
Artificial Intelligence is providing benefits in many areas of work within the heritage sector, from image analysis, to ideas generation, and new research tools. However, it is more critical than ever for people, with analogue intelligence, to ensure the integrity and ethical use of AI. Including real people can improve the use of AI by identifying potential biases, cross-checking results, refining workflows, and providing contextual relevance to AI-driven results.
News about the impact of AI often paints a rosy picture. In practice, there are many potential pitfalls. This presentation discusses these issues and looks at the role of analogue intelligence and analogue interfaces in providing the best results to our audiences. How do we deal with factually incorrect results? How do we get content generated that better reflects the diversity of our communities? What roles are there for physical, in-person experiences in the digital world?
