Towards a Uniform User Interface for Editing Mapping Definitions
0 likes384 views
The document discusses the need for a uniform user interface for editing mapping definitions between data sources and RDF datasets. It proposes the RMLEditor, a tool that provides an input panel, modeling panel, and results panel to map data from multiple, heterogeneous sources to RDF in a non-linear workflow. The RMLEditor aims to support features like independence of language and execution, handling multiple data sources and ontologies, and alternative modeling approaches in a single user interface.

RMLEditor: A Graph-based Mapping Editor for Linked Data Mappings
RMLEditor: A Graph-based Mapping Editor for Linked Data MappingsPieter Heyvaert Although several tools have been implemented to generate
Linked Data from raw data, users still need to be aware of the underlying technologies and Linked Data principles to use them. Mapping languages enable to detach the mapping definitions from the implementation that executes them. However, no thorough research has been conducted on
how to facilitate the editing of mappings. We propose the RMLEditor, a visual graph-based user interface, which allows users to easily define the mappings that deliver the RDF representation of the corresponding raw data. Neither knowledge of the underlying mapping language nor the
used technologies is required. The RMLEditor aims to facilitate the editing of mappings, and thereby lowers the barriers to create Linked Data. The RMLEditor is developed for use by data specialists who are partners of (i) a companies-driven pilot and (ii) a community group. The current version of the RMLEditor was validated: participants indicate that it is adequate for its purpose and the graph-based approach enables users to
conceive the linked nature of the data.

Rust presentation convergeconf
Rust presentation convergeconfKrishna Kumar Thokala Rust is a systems programming language that prevents segmentation faults and guarantees thread safety. It uses ownership and borrowing to manage memory without a garbage collector. Variables in Rust have immutable access by default, and references allow mutable or immutable borrowing of data. The type system and compiler enforce these borrowing rules at compile time to prevent data races. Rust also has features like enums, pattern matching, iterators, and channels for concurrent programming.

OSLO: Open Standards for Linked OrganizationsLaurens De Vocht This document summarizes the OSLO (Open Standards for Linked Organizations) program, which aimed to facilitate data exchange and interoperability between government organizations in Flanders through semantic agreements. The program was initiated in 2012 as a public-private partnership and supported by various government levels. It focused on developing common interfaces and domain models for contact information, public services, and locations. Working groups formalized specifications that were implemented in pilot projects. The program demonstrated that both political support and semantic agreements are needed to break down information silos and shift toward open, interoperable government.

LDOW2013 r&wbase: git for triplesMiel Vander Sande The document discusses r&wbase, a system for version control of RDF triples that uses a git-like model to version and store triple deltas. It stores triples as quads using a context value to represent the commit version. This allows queries over specific versions by filtering on the context value. Commit metadata is stored to provide provenance information. The system aims to provide native version control features for triple stores through virtual graphs and SPARQL support for versioned queries.
Querying Heterogeneous Linked Date Interfaces through Reasoning
Querying Heterogeneous Linked Date Interfaces through ReasoningJoachim Van Herwegen This document discusses querying heterogeneous linked data from different interfaces through reasoning. It proposes using endpoint metadata and reasoning to link separate query interfaces, allowing clients to specify supported SPARQL components per interface and solve queries by merging results locally. The example shows combining data from endpoints with SPARQL and Triple Pattern Fragment interfaces on different topics.
Opportunistic Linked Data Querying through Approximate Membership Metadata
Opportunistic Linked Data Querying through Approximate Membership MetadataMiel Vander Sande Between uri dereferencing and the sparql protocol lies a largely
unexplored axis of possible interfaces to Linked Data, eachwith its own combination of trade-offs. One of these interfaces is Triple Pattern Fragments, which allows clients to execute sparql queries against low-cost servers, at the cost of higher bandwidth. Increasing a client’s efficiency means lowering the number of requests, which can among others be achieved through additional metadata in responses.
We noted that typical sparql query evaluations against Triple Pattern Fragments
require a significant portion of membership subqueries, which check the presence
of a specific triple, rather than a variable pattern. This paper studies the impact
of providing approximate membership functions, i.e., Bloom filters and Golombcoded
sets, as extra metadata. In addition to reducing http requests, such functions
allow to achieve full result recall earlier when temporarily allowing lower precision.
Half of the tested queries from aWatDiv benchmark test set could be executed with
up to a third fewer http requests with only marginally higher server cost. Query
times, however, did not improve, likely due to slower metadata generation and
transfer. This indicates that approximate membership functions can partly improve
the client-side query process with minimal impact on the server and its interface.

Querying federations
of Triple Pattern FragmentsRuben Verborgh This document discusses querying datasets using Triple Pattern Fragments (TPF), which enable low-cost federated querying over the web. TPF interfaces return partial RDF datasets matching a given triple pattern. Intelligent clients can decompose SPARQL queries into triple patterns and query multiple TPF servers in parallel to solve queries. This achieves high query performance and availability even with many clients, as TPF servers have lightweight query processing and clients handle query planning and execution. The document compares TPF federation to other federated querying systems.
Towards an Interface for User-Friendly Linked Data Generation Administration
Towards an Interface for User-Friendly Linked Data Generation Administrationandimou Linked Data generation and publication remain challenging
and complicated, in particular for data owners who are not Semantic Web experts or tech-savvy. The situation deteriorates when data from multiple heterogeneous sources, accessed via different interfaces, is integrated, and the Linked Data generation is a long-lasting activity repeated periodically, often adjusted and incrementally enriched with new data. Therefore, we propose the rmlworkbench, a graphical user interface to support data owners administrating their Linked Data generation and publication workflow. The rmlworkbench’s underlying language is rml, since it allows to declaratively describe the complete Linked Data generation workflow. Thus, any Linked Data generation workflow specified by a user can be exported and reused by other tools interpreting RML.
Machines are the new Digital Natives
Machines are the new Digital NativesMiel Vander Sande It’s 2025. Internet of things has taken of, and both machines have joined humans on the Web and in society. What do they do, how do we cope, and more importantly, how did we end up here?
User experience has a major peak in importance: digital devices are everywhere, users are utterly diverse, and technology is getting highly advanced. Inventing better ways to let people interact with such technology has been the challenge of the 21st century. UX expectations are through the roof: children grow up as digital natives and think any thing is science. However, that is not all. The user spectrum has some new participants: machines. The rise of digital assistants introduce new challenges about how to deal with these newcomers. But how are we handling the next-gen AI-driven machine players, as they are the real digital natives. In this talk, we go over interesting use cases, positions and developments on AI. Furthermore, we touch on some technical and ethical fallacies in existing systems such as IBM Watson or self-driving cars. Finally, we illustrate future prospects and raise some challenging ethical questions.
Time travelling through DBpedia
Time travelling through DBpediaMiel Vander Sande Data on the World Wide Web changes at the speed of light—today’s facts are tomorrow’s history. This makes the ability to look back important: how do facts grow and change over time? It gets even more interesting when we zoom out beyond individual facts: how do answers to questions evolve when data ages? With Linked Data, we are used to query the latest version of information, because updating a sparql endpoint is easier than maintaining every historical version. With the lightweight Triple Pattern Fragments interface, it becomes very easy for a server to host multiple versions. Using the Memento framework to switch between versions based on a timestamp, your browser can evaluate sparql queries over any point in time. We tried this with dbpedia—and so can you!
ESWC2015 - Query Optimization for Clients of Linked Data Fragments
ESWC2015 - Query Optimization for Clients of Linked Data FragmentsJoachim Van Herwegen This document presents an approach to optimize query execution for clients accessing linked data through Triple Pattern Fragments. The approach aims to minimize the number of HTTP requests needed to solve basic graph pattern queries by estimating whether it is better to fully download a pattern or bind variables and download resulting patterns. The algorithm is improved through reusing join data from previous iterations, estimating optimal join trees, and performing local joins on the client side. An evaluation on benchmark queries showed the approach reduced the number of HTTP requests compared to a baseline.

The document concludes by explaining D3.js basics and providing resources for learning more about creating interactive data visualizations with this library.
DBpedia Mappings Quality Assessment
DBpedia Mappings Quality Assessmentandimou RDFUnit can apply quality assessment to DBpedia RML mappings by translating DBpedia's custom mappings to RML mappings. RML mappings are expressed in RDF, so RDFUnit can use its SPARQL-based test cases to validate the RML mappings, allowing for faster quality assessment of the mappings and improvement of the overall quality of the DBpedia dataset. The quality assessment identifies violations in the mappings that lead to repeated violations over distinct entities in the generated DBpedia RDF dataset.

The dataset involves promoters from four monocot species, including maize and rice.
Effect of Heuristics on Serendipity in Path-Based Storytelling with Linked Data
Effect of Heuristics on Serendipity in Path-Based Storytelling with Linked DataLaurens De Vocht Path-based storytelling with Linked Data on the Web provides users the ability to discover concepts in an entertaining and educational way. Given a query context, many state-of-the-art pathfinding approaches aim at telling a story that coincides with the user’s expectations by investigating paths over Linked Data on the Web. By taking into account serendipity in storytelling, we aim at improving and tailoring existing approaches towards better fitting user expectations so that users are able to discover interesting knowledge without feeling unsure or even lost in the story facts. To this end, we propose to optimize the link estimation between - and the selection of facts in a story by increasing the consistency and relevancy of links between facts through additional domain delineation and refinement steps. In order to address multiple aspects of serendipity, we propose and investigate combinations of weights and heuristics in paths forming the essential building blocks for each story. Our experimental findings with stories based on DBpedia indicate the improvements when applying the optimized algorithm.
Benchmarking the Effectiveness of Associating Chains of Links for Exploratory...
Benchmarking the Effectiveness of Associating Chains of Links for Exploratory...Laurens De Vocht Linked Data offers an entity-based infrastructure to resolve indirect relations between resources, expressed as chains of links. If we could benchmark how effective retrieving chains of links from these sources is, we can motivate why they are a reliable addition for exploratory search interfaces. A vast number of applications could reap the benefits from encouraging insights in this field. Especially all kinds of knowledge discovery tasks related for instance to ad-hoc
decision support and digital assistance systems. In this paper, we explain a benchmark model for evaluating the effectiveness of associating chains of links with keyword-based queries. We illustrate the benchmark model with an example case using academic library and conference metadata where we measured precision involving targeted expert users and directed it towards search effectiveness. This kind of typical semantic search engine evaluation focusing on information
retrieval metrics such as precision is typically biased towards the final result only. However, in an exploratory search scenario, the dynamics of the intermediary links that could lead to potentially relevant discoveries are not to be neglected.
The Future is Federated
The Future is FederatedRuben Verborgh The document discusses the benefits of a federated and decentralized approach to knowledge and data on the web. It argues that centralized approaches like Big Data fail at web scale, as knowledge is inherently distributed and heterogeneous. A federated future based on light interfaces like Triple Pattern Fragments is envisioned, one where clients can query multiple data sources simultaneously for better performance and reliability compared to centralized endpoints. Serendipity and realistic expectations are important principles for this vision.

2. The document proposes using HDT files and Triple Pattern Fragments to provide a low-cost interface for querying and archiving Linked Data over time.
3. By exposing different HDT snapshots through a Linked Data Fragments server with Memento support, it provides a way to uniformly access and query the history of datasets like DBpedia.
What Factors Influence the Design of a Linked Data Generation Algorithm?
What Factors Influence the Design of a Linked Data Generation Algorithm?andimou Generating Linked Data remains a complicated and intensive engineering process. While different factors determine how a Linked Data generation algorithm is designed, potential alternatives for each factor are currently not considered when designing the tools’ underlying algorithms. Certain design patterns are frequently ap- plied across different tools, covering certain alternatives of a few of these factors, whereas other alternatives are never explored. Consequently, there are no adequate tools for Linked Data generation for certain occasions, or tools with inadequate and inefficient algorithms are chosen. In this position paper, we determine such factors, based on our experiences, and present a preliminary list. These factors could be considered when a Linked Data generation algorithm is designed or a tool is chosen. We investigated which factors are covered by widely known Linked Data generation tools and concluded that only certain design patterns are frequently encountered. By these means, we aim to point out that Linked Data generation is above and beyond bare implementations, and algorithms need to be thoroughly and systematically studied and exploited.

Data Workflows for Machine Learning - Seattle DAML
Data Workflows for Machine Learning - Seattle DAMLPaco Nathan First public meetup at Twitter Seattle, for Seattle DAML:
http://www.meetup.com/Seattle-DAML/events/159043422/
We compare/contrast several open source frameworks which have emerged for Machine Learning workflows, including KNIME, IPython Notebook and related Py libraries, Cascading, Cascalog, Scalding, Summingbird, Spark/MLbase, MBrace on .NET, etc. The analysis develops several points for "best of breed" and what features would be great to see across the board for many frameworks... leading up to a "scorecard" to help evaluate different alternatives. We also review the PMML standard for migrating predictive models, e.g., from SAS to Hadoop.

The 4x4 Semantic Model: Semantics to Empower Services Science: Using Semantic...Amit Sheth The document presents the 4 x 4 semantic model for unifying the four tiers of business process modeling - business process tier, workflow enactment tier, partner services tier, and middleware services tier - using four types of semantics - data, functional, non-functional, and execution semantics. It describes each tier and type of semantics, and proposes using semantic templates annotated with standards like SAWSDL and policies to integrate the tiers and relate their components semantically. This allows for capabilities like dynamic service discovery, composition, execution, adaptation and mediation across the tiers.

F# Type Provider for R Statistical Platform
F# Type Provider for R Statistical PlatformHoward Mansell This document discusses using an F# type provider to integrate the R statistical programming language. The type provider allows R packages and functions to be accessed from F# code as .NET namespaces and members. This provides static typing while bridging between the dynamic R and static F#. The type provider addresses challenges around dynamic and static typing and conversion between .NET and R types. While type providers have benefits over code generation, the current implementation has some limitations that detract from the user experience.
Migration Approaches for FDMEE
Migration Approaches for FDMEEAlithya This document discusses approaches for migrating data from Oracle's Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE) to its successor product, Oracle's Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE). It outlines two main approaches - using Oracle's migration utility or doing a full rebuild. The migration utility uses Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) under the hood and can automate some but not all aspects of the migration. A full rebuild takes more time but allows for cleaning up of unused artifacts and other improvements. Best practices are discussed such as designing the target system structure, rebuilding scripts with Jython, and thorough testing.
Object Relational Mapping In Real World Applications
Object Relational Mapping In Real World ApplicationsPhilWinstanley Object/Relational Mapping (ORM) is a technique that maps object-oriented classes and properties to relational database tables and fields. ORM leverages existing object-oriented programming skills and provides an abstraction layer over databases. There are important differences between ORM and traditional data access approaches like ADO.NET in areas like data binding, business logic implementation, and support for multi-tier architectures.

How F# Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Data
How F# Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the DataTomas Petricek The world of data speaks a different language than the world of programming languages. It uses REST, SQL database schema, XML, JSON while programming languages only understand types and classes. This causes big confusion when we try to access data from programming languages, especially from those with (otherwise very useful) static type systems.
How can a programming language learn to understand data? In this talk, I'll show how this is done using type providers in F# 3.0. You'll see how integrating data into the programming language opens the possibilities for creating exciting applications.

Evaluation of meta modeling tools for domain specific modeling language chnjl
Evaluation of meta modeling tools for domain specific modeling language chnjlPG Scholar The document discusses domain-specific modeling (DSM) tools for developing software. It surveys several existing DSM tools including RSA, GME, MetaEdit+, EMF, and Clooca. MetaEdit+ allows creating domain-specific languages as metamodels and uses the GOPPRR framework. Industrial case studies found 5-10x increases in productivity using DSM over traditional methods. The proposed system would investigate applying MetaEdit+ and its modeling language to new web development projects for requirements analysis.
What Impact Will Entity Framework Have On Architecture
What Impact Will Entity Framework Have On ArchitectureEric Nelson This document discusses the impact that adopting the Entity Framework and Entity Data Model will have on application architecture. It provides an overview of object-relational mapping (ORM) technologies and how they help address the impedance mismatch between object-oriented programming and relational databases. The document outlines several key features and improvements in Entity Framework versions 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0, such as better code generation tools, a model-first approach, support for stored procedures and persistence ignorance. It argues that adopting an ORM like Entity Framework can improve developer productivity, code quality and database independence.
Consuming Data with F# Type Providers
Consuming Data with F# Type ProvidersRachel Reese F# type providers allow consuming external data sources by generating types from the data schema. This avoids manually defining types and enables compiler support like IntelliSense. Type providers connect to various data sources like SQL, XML, and APIs. They simplify data access by eliminating setup code and keeping types in sync with the source. The document demonstrates type providers for sources like SQL, CSV, and Freebase, and encourages writing custom providers when frequently accessing stable schemas.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
How analogue intelligence complements AI
How analogue intelligence complements AIPaul Rowe
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?
