Marketing AI - How to Build a Keyword OntologyDan Segal
From a workshop presented at MinneWebCon 2018. Keywords are the life’s blood of a marketing enterprise. Most marketing organizations struggle to find the right keywords for their teams. At IBM we built a keyword ontology, which is a fancy name for a set of taxonomies related to the keywords our target audiences most often use in their search queries. We use the ontology to ensure that new pages are built with the language of the customer. This workshop discusses the use of AI-enhanced processes to drive keyword management, as well as practical methods for search and IA success.

Enterprise application integration (EAI) evolved in the early IT industry to allow information exchange between mainframe and minicomputer systems. Common integration methods included file transfers and shared databases. In the 1990s, messaging-oriented middleware (MOM) emerged as a new paradigm, using message queues to enable both real-time and non-real-time integration across unpredictable computer networks. This represented a shift towards loosely-coupled integration using queues rather than tightly-coupled methods like remote procedure calls. Today, service-oriented architectures and microservices are further advancing loosely-coupled integration approaches.

The decision to go with xAPI is an exciting one, but a successful xAPI project hinges on an understanding of what success looks like. In this presentation, I share a number of questions one should ask of technology partners and your own team depending on different ways one might use xAPI.
Data-Ed Online: Trends in Data ModelingDATAVERSITY
Businesses cannot compete without data. Every organization produces and consumes it. Data trends are hitting the mainstream and businesses are adopting buzzwords such as Big Data, data vault, data scientist, etc., to seek solutions for their fundamental data issues. Few realize that the importance of any solution, regardless of platform or technology, relies on the data model supporting it. Data modeling is not an optional task for an organization’s data remediation effort. Instead, it is a vital activity that supports the solution driving your business.
This webinar will address emerging trends around data model application methodology, as well as trends around the practice of data modeling itself. We will discuss abstract models and entity frameworks, as well as the general shift from data modeling being segmented to becoming more integrated with business practices.
Takeaways:
How are anchor modeling, data vault, etc. different and when should I apply them?
Integrating data models to business models and the value this creates

CapTechTalks Webinar Slides June 2024 Donovan Wright.pptxCapitolTechU
Slides from a Capitol Technology University webinar held June 20, 2024. The webinar featured Dr. Donovan Wright, presenting on the Department of Defense Digital Transformation.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

8. Tenets of a Data Ecosystem
Understanding
With complex, emergent
networks, understanding data is
made possible when the
transaction formats for data
exchange are known to all.
DISC is where different
communities of practice make
their rules for exchanging data
explicit.
9. Tenets of a Data Ecosystem
Meaning
To gain insight, data
must be packed with the
context needed to make
sense of it.
DISC will provide lookup
services across communities of
practice to manage, maintain and
deconflict vocabularies and
ontologies.
10. Tenets of a Data Ecosystem
Data is unreliable without assurance that
it’s credible, accurate, unaltered, relevant
and ethical.
DISC will work with stakeholder groups to
provide a framework for data movement
permissions, cybersecurity, and
information assurance for data systems.
DISC will provide a Code of Ethics
expected of all data professionals.Security
11. Tenets of a Data Ecosystem
Movement
Only data that is understandable, meaningful and
secure can truly be owned. Having reasonable
and actionable governance rules around how it
can move ensures organizations and individuals
alike have rights common expectations of
access and accountability for data.
DISC will work with stakeholder groups to ensure
organizations can fully realize skill intelligence
while supporting lifelong learning.

26. Just to catch up...
Since July 2016, DISC has worked with the xAPI Community to tackle two major
efforts on behalf of ADL:
● xAPI Conformance Requirements for LRSs
● xAPI Functional Certification Program Research and Recommendations
28. What are xAPI Profiles?
From the spec, an xAPI Profile is
“a specific set of rules and documentation for implementing xAPI in a particular
context. Profiles generally provide a particular vocabulary of terms, some
created specifically for the profile, and some are referenced from other
vocabularies.”
29. Why are xAPI Profiles needed?
1. Data meant to reflect the same activity often doesn’t match.
2. Communities of Practice lack shared practices (among each other) in their
definitions of human activity, performance and outcomes.
These two challenges make working with xAPI really hard.
30. Example: xAPI without Profiles
Keara uses Storyline to create a job aid for Customer Service Representatives to work with the
company’s Knowledge Base. She publishes this job aid to use xAPI.
That Knowledge Base incorporates xAPI, and ideally Keara should be able to get a report on the use of
the job aid in relation to the Knowledge Base use it supports.
But the activity identifiers don’t match, and Keara relies on the LMS to create reports - she has no
control over how Storyline identifies the interactions in the job aid and even if she could figure out how
Storyline identifies them, she has no control over how the Knowledge Base identifies its activity, so the
LMS can’t correlate the two activities and Keara can’t report on this without manually looking at the
statements, cleaning up the data, and ultimately create her own report in Excel -- a very big time-suck.
31. Same Example, but with xAPI Profiles
Keara uses Storyline to create a job aid for Customer Service Representatives to work with the
company Knowledge Base. Storyline pulls information from a Profile service and offers Keara a
options to autofill her job aid with appropriate statements to reflect how the company wants to report
on the Knowledge Base. She publishes this job aid to use xAPI.
That Knowledge Base incorporates xAPI and when it was incorporated, the developers used the same
profile in their tools to describe the user of the Knowledge Base.
Keara relies on the LMS, which references the Profile to identify statements that are important and
report appropriately on how the job aid use correlates to the use of the Knowledge Base. She could
also include on other training developed using that profile in relation -- easily, quickly and painlessly.
32. Doesn’t xAPI already have Profiles?
Yes, indeedy! There are more than a handful, but their quality (and their amount
of use) is all over the map.
Active Communities of Practice maintaining Profiles include:
● Medical education
● Higher education in the UK
● LMSs and authoring tools working with content via xAPI
● Using xAPI to track Video
33. Wasn’t there already work on this?
Indeed, ADL worked with the xAPI Community to create a companion
specification to address Vocabularies. More than that ADL implemented an
approach to document vocabulary sets for xAPI in formal structures, leveraging
technologies on the server side that can help relate different vocabulary terms
to each other.
34. So why is a new effort needed?
Profiles address more than vocabulary. Different profiles lack shared structure.
These profiles reflect contextual practice:
● Medbiquitous (virtual patients, simulations)
● Jisc (controlled vocabularies describing learning in UK Higher Ed)
These profiles reflect modalities or functions that are used in many contexts:
● cmi5 (describing LMS interactions with content)
● Video (describing… video things)
35. No current profiles are expressed in machine readable ways, so they’re not
super helpful beyond being a reference for implementers to manually
copy-and-paste into their work.
So why is a new effort needed?
36. Profiles are really hard to find unless you know where to look. They’re also hard
to define because (as mentioned earlier) different professions/trades lack
shared approaches to describing learning and performance.
So why is a new effort needed?
37. Even if a Profile currently could define a group of statements as something
significant, like achieving competency, it’s pretty impossible to enforce that
intention without knowing what to look for in ad-hoc or manual ways.
So why is a new effort needed?
