Extract
Planning applications made to councils get compared against historic maps and other key policy documents that can be difficult to access. Important information is often stored on handwritten paper notes, microfiche or is locked away in PDF documents. Without it residents and developers struggle to understand what they can build or what home improvements are allowed in their area before making their applications. As a result, estimates suggest 250,000 hours are spent by planning officers each year manually checking documents and a third of applications submitted annually get rejected.
New digital software can help to streamline the planning application process. Government backed, open-source tools such as PlanX are being used live in councils to help the public to better understand what information to submit with their applications, reducing time to validate a pre-application from 6.5 days to 1.3 days in Doncaster Council, and reducing incoming calls to planning helplines by 60% in Camden, saving 21 hours per month. However, local planning authorities face a significant data barrier when trying to adopt this software because it requires data in modern formats to function effectively.
Armed with the right data and software, councils will serve the public more quickly, transparently and predictably to process more applications and permit more home improvements.Extract drastically reduces the effort required of local councils to become digitally mature by automating the conversion of PDF planning constraints into modern, usable data.

Open data ownership and sharing: Challenges and opportunities for application of FAIR principles and a checklist for data managers
The amount of data generated across various disciplines has been steadily increasing and is projected to experience exponential growth in the foreseeable future. This underscores the pressing need for proficient and streamlined data management. Data has proven to be a crucial tool in addressing complex societal challenges on a global scale. However, the challenge of producing and openly disseminating data that are easily discoverable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) has emerged as a significant concern for policymakers. The potential for data to be repurposed for advancing scientific research and innovation across different disciplines is contingent on its willingness to be shared. This paper employs a systematic literature review to investigate the motivating factors, advantages, and obstacles associated with open data sharing. Additionally, it explores governance frameworks that can create unique opportunities for implementing FAIR principles in real-time scientific research.

Giraph builds upon the graph-oriented nature of Pregel but additionally adds fault-tolerance to the coordinator process with the use of ZooKeeper as its centralized coordination service.
Giraph follows the bulk-synchronous parallel model relative to graphs where vertices can send messages to other vertices during a given superstep. Checkpoints are initiated by the Giraph infrastructure at user-defined intervals and are used for automatic application restarts when any worker in the application fails. Any worker in the application can act as the application coordinator and one will automatically take over if the current application coordinator fails.

A Survey on Link Prediction Models for Social Network Data
Link prediction for social network data is a fundamental data mining task in various application domains, including social network analysis, information retrieval, recommendation systems, record linkage, marketing and bioinformatics. There are a variety of techniques for the link prediction problem, ranging from graph theory, metric learning, statistical relational learning to matrix factorization and probabilistic graphical models. In this survey, we organize the sparse related literature into a structured presentation and summarize the recent research works on the link prediction task. We categorize the current link prediction methods into three classes: the node-wise similarity based methods try to seek an appropriate distance measurement for two objects; the topological pattern based methods focus on exploiting either local or global patterns that could well describing the network; probabilistic model based methods try to learn a compact model that could abstracting the social network best. We will first review these methods, from detailed approaches to the evolution of the ideas, and then comment on their relative strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we give a brief summary on them and discuss some possible research issues.

Analysing Dependency Dynamics in Web Data
Modern web sites provide easy access to large amounts of
data via open application programming interfaces. Users interacting with these sites constantly change the underlying data sets, which can be represented in graph-structured form. Nodes in these dynamic graph structures exhibit dependencies over time (for example, one node changes before other nodes change in the same way). Analysing these dependencies is crucial for understanding and predicting the dynamics inherent to temporally changing graph structures on the web. When the graphs become large however, it is not feasible to take into account all properties of the graph and in general it is unclear how to choose the appropriate features. Moreover, comparing two nodes becomes difficult, if the nodes do not share exactly the same features. In this work we propose an algorithm that automatically learns the features that govern temporal dependencies between nodes in large dynamic graph structures. We present preliminary results of applying the algorithm to data collected from the web, discuss potential extensions of the framework and anticipate how a major problem in machine learning, sparse data, could be tackled by leveraging Linked Data.

www.semantic-web-journal.net
he journal Semantic Web – Interoperability, Usability, Applicability brings together researchers from various fields which share the vision and need for more effective and meaningful ways to share information across agents and services on the future internet and elsewhere. As such, Semantic Web technologies shall support the seamless integration of data, on-the-fly composition and interoperation of Web services, as well as more intuitive search engines. The semantics – or meaning – of information, however, cannot be defined without a context, which makes personalization, trust, and provenance core topics for Semantic Web research. New retrieval paradigms, user interfaces, and visualization techniques have to unleash the power of the Semantic Web and at the same time hide its complexity from the user. Based on this vision, the journal welcome contributions ranging from theoretical and foundational research over methods and tools to descriptions of concrete ontologies and applications in all areas. We especially welcome papers which add a social, spatial, and temporal dimension to Semantic Web research, as well as application-oriented papers making use of formal semantics.
The journal is peer-reviewed and will be published quarterly.
IOS Press is a leading international publisher of scientific books and journals in many fields including computer & communications sciences and especially also the Semantic Web.

Call for Chapter - Ontology Learning and Knowledge Discovery Using the Web: Challenges and Recent Advances
Ontologies provide formal specifications of what might exist in a domain to ensure reusability and interoperability of multiple heterogeneous systems. Ontologies form an indispensable part of the Semantic Web standard stack. While the Semantic Web is still our vision into the future, ontologies have already found a myriad of applications such as document retrieval, question answering, image retrieval, agent interoperability and document annotation. In recent years, automatic ontology learning from text has provided support and relief for knowledge engineers from the labourious task of manually engineering of ontologies. Ontology learning research, an area integrating advances from information retrieval, text mining, data mining, machine learning and natural language processing, has attracted increasing interests from a wide spectrum of application domains (e.g. bioinformatics, manufacturing). Being a rapidly growing area, it is crucial to collect the recent advances in tools and technologies in ontology learning and related areas.

del.icio.us visualization
In a paper entitled "Visualizing Social Bookmarks", Joris Klerkx and Erik Duval describe how it's often hard in most social bookmarking tools to discover implicit structures between tags, users and bookmarks. This is mostly due to the flat nature of tags, and an intrinsic trait of folksonomy in opposition to traditional hierarchical structures.
In an effort to solve this problem, the authors designed a system that "attempts to visualize these structures, so that end users can explore the social bookmarks in a playful, efficient and flexible way." In this work, a cluster map visualization application is customized to enable users to explore social bookmarks in the del.icio.us system. The design of the application aims to automatically identify tag and community structures, and visualizes these structures in order to increase the users' awareness of them.

Social Semantic Bookmarking - PAKM - SlideShare
Social Semantic Bookmarking combines the positive aspects of
semantic annotation with those of social bookmarking and tagging while avoiding their respective drawbacks like the cumbersome maintenance of ontologies or the lacking semantic precision of tags. Social semantic bookmarking tools allow for the annotation of internet resources based on an
ontology and the integrated maintenance of the ontology by the same people that use it. We introduce Social Semantic Bookmarking and present the SOBOLEO application as an implementation of this paradigm.

Visualizing Social Bookmarks
Social bookmarking tools are very popular nowadays. In most tools, users tag the bookmarks to describe them. Therefore, it is often hard for users to discover implicit structures between tags, users and bookmarks. We think that this is essential for both end users to discover new bookmarks that could be of interest to them, and for researchers who want to study how people use social information retrieval tools. In this work, a cluster map visualization application is customized to enable users to explore social bookmarks in the del.icio.us system. The design of the application aims to automatically identify tag and community structures, and visualizes these structures in order to increase the users' awareness of them.

The Semantic Desktop: The Intimate Supplement to Memory
A Semantic Desktop is a means to manage all personal information across application ... Alle » borders based on Semantic Web standards. It acts as an extended personal memory assisting users to file, relate, share, and access all digital information like documents, multimedia, and messages through a Personal Information Model (PIMO). This PIMO is build on ontological knowledge generated through user observations and interactions and may be seen as a formal and semi-formal complement of the user's mental models. Thus it reflects experience and typical user behavior and may be processed by a computer in order to provide proactive and adaptive information support or allows personalized semantic search. The Semantic Desktop is build on a middle ware platform allowing to combine information and native applications like the file-system, Mozilla, Thunderbird or MS-Outlook. In this talk I will show how machine learning techniques may be used to support the generation of a PIMO. I will further introduce the main concepts, components, and functionalities of the Semantic Desktop, and give examples which show how the Semantic Desktop may become reality.
