Re: Fwd: [OFFICIAL INVITATION] DG Connect Workshop "Open ICT Standards for Public Procurement: Fostering Interoperability" (13 November 2015 - Brussels)

Hi Paola,

I won't be attending the Workshop.  I have Longitudinal Financial Concerns (can't afford it) and Latitudinal Interoperability Concerns (the "I need to wear shoes ?" weather is moving South ?  What were you people thinking ?).

1) For XML Collections, a large part of Vendor Lock-In is a purely mechanical problem unrelated to semantic reasoning.

In single document rich text presentations - e.g. HTML - the "Freedom to Re-Collate xml:id" is an OUTER JOIN on the XSD Schema not a (simple) JOIN on an extended set of  DTD entities.  The latter bit is Social Engineering: Mussolini "made the trains run on time" by announcing <arrivals> rather than <departures>.  A good gimmick, but not a Best Practice.

For multi-document Collections, text is a sequence Loss Less Compression keyboard codes.  The mere substitution of Lossy images for Loss Less codes is (owl:SameAs) multi-lingual announcements of the arrival of the same train.

2) Strategy Markup Language (StratML) is now an ISO Standard (ISO AIIM 17469-1).  StratML helps by providing a very flexible compound key "Core" to copy from place to place with fidelity to (xsd:documentation) but without (xsd:apinfo) "baggage" accumulation.

As Librarians quickly discovered, bibliographic references have no useful future subjunctive mood and "vaporware" has no mood excepting that.  A DCMI WEBINAR announcement put it well a few days ago, I think ...

"ABOUT THIS 2-PART WEBINAR SERIES:

When it was first introduced in 2011 Schema.org was seen by many as a grab, by Google and other search engines, for the semantic web landscape, or as something only of interest to the SEO community wanting their products displayed more prominently in search results. It was therefore somewhat of a surprise to the library community when, less than a year later, the global library cooperative OCLC introduced Schema.org structured data markup into the pages for the 300 million plus resources on Worldcat.org."

 INTEROPERABILITY
 
 Brussels | November

 The Scenario
 
 Under Digital Agenda,
 the European
 Commission commits itself through Action 23 to
 provide guidance
 on the link between ICT Standardisation and Public
 Procurement in
 order to help public authorities use standards to promote
 efficiency
 and reduce lock-in.
 
 
 
 As a matter of fact,
 using ICT
 open standards results in:
 
 -       Higher
 savings when procuring ICT
 -      
 An increased
 level of competition among suppliers
 -      
 Being
 compliant with EU Public Procurement
 directives
 The Workshop
 
 If you are involved
 somehow
 in ICT procurement and want to know how other organizations
 similar to
 yours are successfully dealing with ICT "lock-in"
 when procuring
 their ICT Systems, you are warmly invited to attend the
 “Open ICT Standards
 for Public Procurement: Fostering
 interoperability” workshop,
 taking place in Brussels - at DG CONNECT - on November 13th,
 2015.
 
 
 
 The Workshop will be a
 great opportunity
 to meet MSP members, procurement managers, policymakers and
 ICT suppliers
 to discuss how to effectively reduce lock-in by using Open
 ICT Standards.
 
 
 
 The main goals of
 the event
 are:
 
 -       Present
 the European catalogue of ICT technical specification for
 public procurement
 and how it will contribute to the Digital Single
 Market;
 -      
 Provide some
 suggestions on how to reduce lock-in when procuring
 ICT;
 -      
 Share some
 good practice examples about ICT procurement on the basis
 of standards.
 Our panel of
 speakers has been
 carefully selected to match the needs and wants of all
 potential participants,
 especially Public Procurers. Have a look at the agenda!
 In addition,
 we planned various networking opportunities to allow you to
 share your
 opinion with a number of top-tier experts.
