How Linked Data is transforming eGovernmentNikos Loutas
This document discusses how linked data is transforming eGovernment by integrating government data through linking related datasets. It explains the key concepts of linked data including the four design principles put forward by Tim Berners-Lee. The document also outlines how linked data enables greater government transparency, fosters innovation, and allows for virtual integration of data without centralization. The ISA programme is highlighted as actively promoting linked data adoption for public administrations through best practices, vocabularies, and pilot projects to realize the benefits of open government data through semantic interoperability and linked approaches.
The document discusses the upcoming European Commission eGovernment Action Plan for 2016-2020. The action plan will focus on three pillars: 1) Digitalizing public administration with ICT, 2) Enabling cross-border mobility with digital public services, and 3) Facilitating participation in policymaking and co-creation of services. It will implement objectives agreed at the EU level and allow citizens to suggest voluntary actions. A stakeholder consultation platform will crowdsource ideas, apply selection criteria, and monitor implementation of actions using data. The overall goal is to modernize public administration and facilitate interaction between governments and citizens/businesses across Europe.

Securing e-Government Web Portal Access Using Enhanced Authentication SystemHamdi Jaber
The document proposes an advanced authentication solution for securing access to an e-government web portal. It suggests using a multi-step two-factor authentication system combining something the user knows (password) with something the user has (mobile phone). The system would generate one-time passwords and send them via SMS along with session details. An additional image-based step is included. Testing showed mobile SMS to have high delivery strength and usability for public users. The proposed solution aims to provide strong, usable authentication while avoiding drawbacks of traditional two-factor approaches.
Semantic challenges in eGovernment InteroperabilityJohann Höchtl
This document discusses how semantic interoperability using OASIS SET TC can improve collaboration between eGovernment applications. It provides background on the Danube University Krems and its work in eGovernment research and education. It outlines the current state of eGovernment, highlighting a lack of consensus on interoperability between systems in different countries and levels of government. Semantic interoperability is needed because applications have different schemas and purposes. The SET TC work could help address interoperability by standardizing how similar entities like personal details are defined across applications. Future projects may apply the SET TC methodology to help systems like electronic document management exchange data automatically.
A Study on Enhancing E-Governance Applications through Semantic Web Technologiesijbuiiir1
The government of every nation has a lot of data and information related to its own country. This information is mutually owned by different states, departments, and agencies within the country. These owners have their own corresponding websites and they decide which data they want to expose to the common public. However, as the data corresponding to the websites exists in silos, it cannot be connected across websites. This article looks at the challenges of the current website implementations of the Indian government and highlights the benefits that can be obtained by implementing Semantic Web Technologies

Full Title: Web.gov: Observations About, Strategies Relating To, and Lessons Learned from the US Digital Government Strategy (and how they apply to the Broader UX Community)
Short Description:
The Obama Administration’s 2012 Digital Government Strategy set a high bar for Federal websites, calling for the creation of “information-centric” and “customer-centric” sites and mandating “citizen-engagement.”
This presentation provides an overview of the Digital Government Strategy, discusses how it came into being, and provides specific examples of recent and ongoing work in support of the strategy from a number of federal agencies. It also considers how user experience (UX) professionals can advocate for the Digital Government Strategy and how they can put its tenants to work to better serve their clients (Federal or otherwise) and, most important, the digital content users.
Web.gov: Observations About, Strategies Relating To, and Lessons Learned from...UXPA International
The document summarizes the US Digital Government Strategy from 2009 to 2013, which aimed to make government more transparent, participatory, and collaborative through digital initiatives. It outlines key milestones and principles of the strategy, including transitioning government services and data online, adopting shared platforms and open standards, prioritizing user-centric design, and ensuring security and privacy. The strategy established guidelines and requirements for agencies and resulted in the consolidation of websites and APIs, as well as the creation of resources like DigitalGov and Code.gov to support agencies in achieving the strategy's goals.
LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551

-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.
Guidelines for Effective Data VisualizationUmmeSalmaM1
This PPT discuss about importance and need of data visualization, and its scope. Also sharing strong tips related to data visualization that helps to communicate the visual information effectively.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

MongoDB vs ScyllaDB: Tractian’s Experience with Real-Time MLScyllaDB
Tractian, an AI-driven industrial monitoring company, recently discovered that their real-time ML environment needed to handle a tenfold increase in data throughput. In this session, JP Voltani (Head of Engineering at Tractian), details why and how they moved to ScyllaDB to scale their data pipeline for this challenge. JP compares ScyllaDB, MongoDB, and PostgreSQL, evaluating their data models, query languages, sharding and replication, and benchmark results. Attendees will gain practical insights into the MongoDB to ScyllaDB migration process, including challenges, lessons learned, and the impact on product performance.
Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

TrustArc Webinar - Your Guide for Smooth Cross-Border Data Transfers and Glob...TrustArc
Global data transfers can be tricky due to different regulations and individual protections in each country. Sharing data with vendors has become such a normal part of business operations that some may not even realize they’re conducting a cross-border data transfer!
The Global CBPR Forum launched the new Global Cross-Border Privacy Rules framework in May 2024 to ensure that privacy compliance and regulatory differences across participating jurisdictions do not block a business's ability to deliver its products and services worldwide.
To benefit consumers and businesses, Global CBPRs promote trust and accountability while moving toward a future where consumer privacy is honored and data can be transferred responsibly across borders.
This webinar will review:
- What is a data transfer and its related risks
- How to manage and mitigate your data transfer risks
- How do different data transfer mechanisms like the EU-US DPF and Global CBPR benefit your business globally
- Globally what are the cross-border data transfer regulations and guidelines
This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

http://goo.gl/4K2b7R
In response to the government websites standardization ordered by the Brazilian Federal
Government, a group of users, developers and designers from different agencies situated
at Brasília* joined forces to develop a Joomla! version of the Government Default Web
Portal Project, capable of facing up the unique option available, developed at another
CMS. Rafael Berlanda was one of those involved in this initiative, as developer and
coordinator.
This presentation aims to introduce the project history, the choices made in order to
comply with the project objectives and also to show few solutions adopted with the
purpose of earning development time. It still intends to alert the community to the
upcoming challenges of Joomla! usage in Government.

3. About the Government Portal Standard
It is an initiative of Brazilian Federal
Government to standardize layout, information
architecture and some services of sites and
portals of the Government. It is a project. It is
not a CMS Distribution.
At first, the change was not mandatory. The first project phase
aim at reaching 33 agencies.

= information architecture
= simpler language
= government news repository
1. Focus on the audience
The content provided at the portal is focused at the main audience. Joined
at a multimedia language of easy understanding, the portal will become
accessible for all. The goal is let the citizen achieve the knowledge and the
understanding about the wanted information.
8. 2. Common digital experience
In order to become easy the identification of Federal
Government related web portals, the Standard Portal
was developed by balancing the established default
structure and each agency singularities. Always focused
on the audience, the standardization was intentional in
order that the citizen does not encounter difficulties to
reach the information by accessing other government
portal. Besides the easy navigation, it is believed that
the Standard Portal will generate more credibility and
positioning to the government itself by creating a digital
identity for the government portals available for the
population.
source: secom.gov.br
= institutional identity
= usability (you have to learn only once)
9. 3. Accessibility e responsive design
According to the Brazilian Law number 5.296 of 2004, that
becomes mandatory the implementation of accessibility criteria
at web portals in order to assist citizens with disability, it was
set in the Standard Portal Home a place (module) dedicated to
the accessibility that lets introduce this audience at the actions
developed and worked by the Brazilian Federal Government. In
the view of the internet access by mobile devices, the Standard
Portal construction occurred based on responsive design, i.e.
the portal is ready to adapt itself to different screen sizes and
keeping the content management organized and effective. In
that way, the access is guaranteed in several platforms.
source: secom.gov.br
= compatible with e-mag 3 *
= adaptable to different
devices
* Accessibility primer of Brazilian Government, third edition
10. 4. Economic Efficiency
The Government Standard Portal was developed under a reusable
structure, that is to say, it can be applied to different agencies. That way
there is no need to invest into new architecture nor into new layouts
because it is possible to use tools that have been already organized and
preformatted. This portal is constituted by ready to use modules, what
might reduces material and human costs.
source: secom.gov.br
= no new layout spendings
= no custom CMS development spendings

36. Joomla Distribution Project Goals
1. To support existent Government Federal Agencies using
Joomla! by mitigating or eliminating possible CMS
migration risks (regarding 2.5 and 3.x versions)
2. To make official the use of Joomla! in Brazilian
Government
3. To integrate Joomla! Government Users and Developers
@berlanda | #JDBR14
37. Planning
● Scope
We aimed to make a Joomla! version based on the Plone
version public area so equal as possible, considering the
project requirements and the first Plone release.
@berlanda | #JDBR14
38. Some project requirements
@berlanda | #JDBR14
● It is needed to apply the base layout
● It is needed to preserve the project pillars, specially
the accessibility and responsive design advices
● It is needed to keep compatibility since IE7 (web
statistics from brasil.gov.br indicated this necessity)
● Emulate the same functionalities of the home page
and of different internal pages of the Plone first
release
41. * What means sections in this context?
In portuguese, they are called "Editorias". They
are main pages of specific contents. For
example, considering the Brazilian Ministry of
Education, a section would be "College
Education", other would be "High School
Education" and another would be "Elementary
School Education". Each one will have its own
section.
43. In a strategic way, we had preference to invite
to the following profiles:
○ Professionals working for Federal Government
Agencies and sharing the same demand
○ Professionals of close locations, what allow us to
set face meetings, if necessary
○ Renowned professionals of the Joomla!
Community, what would bring quality for different
project phases

And, when the wanted profiles do not want to collaborate
with the project, we agreed to:
Create detailed work packages and distribute them for
those interested in the project (we did it between october
and november in order to support the interface development)
@berlanda | #JDBR14
46. ● HTML interface
(It was not possible to reutilize the same interface
used at the Plone release, because it was based
on a specific framework output)
● 2.5 release (many agencies are still using this
version at the moment)
● 3.x release (important projects will be released
directly in this version)
Project phases
@berlanda | #JDBR14
47. Interface Technologic definition
● Since we had to reprogram the interface we applied
market standard technologies compatible with the
project requirements:
○ HTML5: with alternative solutions for audio and video players
○ Less CSS: common CSS definitions grouped by type. Less include
file names begin with underline (example: _include.less)
○ Bootstrap 2.3.2: Version compatible with IE7. A custom grid was
used to be so similar as possible to the grid proposed for the project
○ Font awesome 3.2.1: version compatible with IE7.

57. Dynamic module position names
For more information follow this link (in Portuguese)
According to the page class defined at the menu
item editing, some template name positions will
be changed. It allows to set modules for specific
pages without to use module assignments. The
benefit of it is more filtering available options
based on position name, no need to access
each module to identify assigned menu items,
less module positions and template variations.
60. Explanation
Inside the template overrides folder, it was
created a helper for support the com_content
article override. It has a function for identify if
the article category alias or its parent category
alias is equal to any file name inside the

used instead of the default.php file.

76. ● Little experience with github usage (at the beginning)
● Many extensions used
● Little time to focus at a specific installation package,
without to keep the Joomla code together
● To simplify a local installation: just download the
package, execute the SQL script and change the
config file
Let me know: Why the complete
Joomla! code is versioned under
github distribution repository?

77. Joomla! Distribution Project outcomes
@berlanda | #JDBR14
To support existent Government Federal Agencies using Joomla!.
"It was not the 'dreamed' Joomla! Standard Portal, but it was the
Joomla! Standard Portal possible to be done right now. It will be a
great quick start".
To make official the use of Joomla! in Brazilian Government. The
distribution github repository link is available at the Secretariat of
Communication of Brazilian Presidency (SECOM) as a alternative
for all interested agencies.
To integrate Joomla! Government Users and Developers (still
there is too much to do)
78. Lessons learned
● The product development reached success
(product)
● With reference to the project management
method, it was not been done all that was
expected, because:
○ Role accumulations prejudiced the project
management
○ The opportunity to consolidate a people integration
legacy is passing. @berlanda | #JDBR14
79. Lessons learned
● This community development project
reproduces the same behavior problems of
our local community:
○ few people work and many others just reap the
benefits
○ many people promise to get involved, but few people
actually do
○ community projects are treated like hobbies
@berlanda | #JDBR14
80. Lessons learned
● Initiatives like that will advance faster if
professionalization of the projects occur:
○ Creation local associations to support and finance
development initiatives like that.
○ The remuneration will be able to gather professionals
unavailable so far.
○ The remuneration and the association creation allow us be able
to create a contract relationship.
@berlanda | #JDBR14
81. Next challenges
● Landing page management - extension development
● Agenda of commitments for leadership roles - extension
development
● Government Vocabulary controlled implementation - extensions
development
● Expand the project documentation
● New security assessments
● Creation of ready to use virtual machines (Vagrant)
● Include the initiative code in Brazilian public software portal
● to keep the standard de facto
● Manter uma padronização (a quest of all involved)
82. Next challenges of Brazilian Joomla!
Community regarding Government sites
● Maintain dialogue with the management
committee of the Federal Government Standard
Portal
● Take back the interaction between Joomla
users and developers of Joomla in Government
● Maintain dialogue with others CMS communities
@berlanda | #JDBR14
83. THIS DISTRIBUTION IS INDICATED FOR
EXPERIENCED JOOMLA PROFESSIONALS.
Disclaimer:
The volunteers involved in this project are not responsible for the misuse of this
package as well as by the incorrect configuration of the servers regarding security
and performance settings. The usage of a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
environment for production servers is recommended, what implies strict folder
permissions settings, restricting access to the administrator URL and directory,
performing backups and other good practices.
