The document discusses challenges and opportunities for preserving linked data on the web over time. It describes how the web has evolved from largely unstructured content on Web 1.0 to more structured and interconnected data as a valuable asset on Web 3.0. Preserving linked data presents unique issues compared to traditional digital preservation since linked data is graph-structured, distributed across sources, and dynamically changing. Effective long-term preservation requires approaches that account for the complex interdependencies and heterogeneity of linked data sources.
This document discusses programming with Linked Open Data (LOD) using the Ruby programming language. It provides an overview of LOD principles and demonstrates how to read, write, load, merge and query RDF data using the RDF.rb library in Ruby. Code examples are provided to illustrate how to retrieve and inspect RDF statements from DBpedia, serialize and write RDF in different formats, load RDF graphs from multiple sources, and perform basic SPARQL queries.

The document discusses big data techniques, tools, and applications. It describes how big data is enabled by increases in storage capacity, processing power, and data availability. It outlines common approaches to distributed processing, storage, and programming models for big data, including MapReduce, NoSQL databases, and cloud computing. It also provides examples of applications involving log file analysis, network alarm monitoring, media content analysis, and social network analysis.
This document discusses mapping ontologies from multiple datasets in the Linked Open Data cloud to the PROTON upper-level ontology. It presents an approach to semantically mapping classes and properties from datasets like DBPedia, Freebase and Geonames to PROTON in order to provide a unified vocabulary for querying across datasets. The mappings were developed using both automated and manual methods. Statistics on the ontology extensions and mappings are provided, as well as examples of SPARQL queries over the mapped data. Future work includes publishing the mapped ontologies and extending the mappings to additional datasets.
ESWC SS 2012 - Monday Tutorial 2 Barry Norton: Introduction to SPARQLeswcsummerschool

This document introduces SPARQL, a query language for RDF data. It discusses the main SPARQL query forms like SELECT, ASK, and CONSTRUCT. It also covers features like filtering results, using functions and operators, optional graph patterns, and common problems in SPARQL queries.
The document discusses climate change impacts on UK agriculture. It notes that agriculture accounts for 7% of UK greenhouse gas emissions, primarily from methane and nitrous oxide. The Rural Climate Change Forum advises the government on reducing agricultural emissions through practices like improved fertilizer use and manure management. Climate change will impact UK agriculture through increased risks from pests, diseases and heat stress on livestock. Farmers need to both mitigate emissions and adapt to changes in climate and weather patterns.
The document provides information on climate change basics including definitions of key terms, causes and effects of climate change, greenhouse gases and their sources, impacts of climate change, and mitigation strategies. It defines climate change as a change in climate attributed to human activity that alters the atmosphere's composition. The key causes are emissions of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide from activities like burning fossil fuels, agriculture, and deforestation. The impacts include rising temperatures, sea levels, and extreme weather events that threaten ecosystems, agriculture, water resources, economies, and human health and security. Mitigation strategies discussed include reducing emissions through renewable energy and carbon sequestration as well as engineering approaches like carbon capture and storage
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide trapping heat in the atmosphere. The oceans absorb much of this increased heat and carbon dioxide, leading to changes like rising temperatures, shifting currents, and acidification. These changes threaten marine life and ecosystems by disrupting food sources, forcing migrations, damaging coral reefs, and allowing invasive species to outcompete natives. Without action to address climate change, its impacts on the ocean environment will continue to intensify.
The document outlines the plan for a presentation on the health impacts of climate change. It discusses introducing the problem statement, evidence of climate change, causes of human-caused climate change, and potential health impacts. It also covers international environmental agendas, adaptation options, and frameworks to address climate change impacts in India.
The open ocean is the most extensive biome on Earth, covering over 360 million km2. It is divided into vertical zones based on factors like depth, light penetration, temperature, and pressure. The pelagic zone extends from the sea surface and is divided into epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, and abyssopelagic zones. Phytoplankton in the epipelagic zone perform photosynthesis, while organisms in deeper aphotic zones rely on chemosynthesis. Human activities like overfishing, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction threaten ocean ecosystems.
Marine pollution comes from many sources including land-based activities, oil spills, sewage, mining, and shipping. Pollution enters the oceans directly through waste discharges, rivers carrying runoff, and atmospheric deposition. This pollution has negative impacts like toxic chemicals, hypoxia, invasive species, harm to wildlife from entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris, and acidification affecting shells and corals. Preventing marine pollution requires better waste management, regulation of mining and shipping, and reduction of nutrient runoff from agriculture and developed areas.
This document defines climate change as a change directly or indirectly caused by human activity that alters the composition of the atmosphere in addition to natural variability. It lists both natural causes like volcanic eruptions and human causes such as greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and burning fossil fuels as contributing to climate change. The effects of climate change discussed include rising sea levels from melting ice sheets, more extreme weather events like heavy rainfall and drought, declining crop productivity, changing ecosystems, rising temperatures, and ocean acidification.

Chaos Theory: How Real-Time Data is Making Analytics and Product Design Obsol...Oxford Tech + UX
油
The document summarizes a presentation given by Bev May at the Digital Analytics Association Annual Symposium on May 7, 2015 in New York. The presentation discussed how chaos theory demonstrates that analytics and product design are becoming obsolete due to the butterfly effect, whereby small changes can lead to large unpredictable outcomes. As systems become more complex and interconnected, it is no longer possible to fully understand or predict user experiences, outputs, or the reasons for certain outcomes. The presentation argues UX design must shift from a focus on individual interfaces to designing rules and systems across multiple interfaces and scenarios, while analytics needs to move from traditional methods to automated monitoring and predictive modeling.

As user experience evolves, new practices and techniques come into vogue. At the forefront of UX today are "Lean" and Agile UX methods and approaches.
"Lean UX" has become a buzz term that has grown out of the Lean Startup movement, which is based on the Lean philosophy of Steve Blank and Eric Ries (see Eric Ries' book, Lean Startup).
There's just one problem with Lean UX- what is it exactly, and how can it be implemented well? How does one approach "Lean" as an agency, a startup, a Fortune 100? It turns out there are a lot of interpretations of Lean UX in practice, and that a one-size-fits-all methodology may not be the answer.
This diverse of Lean UX forerunners and practitioners will attempt to address these thorny questions. Panelists will spend a few minutes defining Lean UX on their own terms, including how Lean UX is similar and/or diffferent from Agile UX. Thereafter, panelists will spend 10-15 minutes digging into the nitty-gritty implementation details of how they are practicing Lean UX on a day-day level for company and client projects.
