Architecting a Data Platform For Enterprise Use (Strata NY 2018)mark madsen
Building a data lake involves more than installing Hadoop or putting data into AWS. The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This tutorial covers design assumptions, design principles, and how to approach the architecture and planning for multi-use data infrastructure in IT.
Long:
The goal in most organizations is to build multi-use data infrastructure that is not subject to past constraints. This session will discuss hidden design assumptions, review design principles to apply when building multi-use data infrastructure, and provide a reference architecture to use as you work to unify your analytics infrastructure.
The focus in our market has been on acquiring technology, and that ignores the more important part: the larger IT landscape within which this technology lives and the data architecture that lies at its core. If one expects longevity from a platform then it should be a designed rather than accidental architecture.
Architecture is more than just software. It starts from use and includes the data, technology, methods of building and maintaining, and organization of people. What are the design principles that lead to good design and a functional data architecture? What are the assumptions that limit older approaches? How can one integrate with, migrate from or modernize an existing data environment? How will this affect an organization's data management practices?

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
