content: The UK Ontology Networks Workshop took place over one day in the Informatics Forum. There was a mix of people there; some talks were way over my head and very technical, and some talks were by people who confessed they had had to look up "ontology" that morning. And things in between. Lazy writeup, but following are notes as I scribbled them: John Callahan US navy research. Focused information integration. Human intervention to keep predictive part on track. Tweaking. Alan Bundy Interaction of representation and reasoning. Changing world so agents must evolve. How to automate? What would trigger a need for change: Inconsistency Incompleteness Inefficiency how to diagnose which? Interested in language and perception change. Unsorted first order logic algorithm called Reformation. Based on standard unification algorithm. Allows blocking and unblocking unification. Phil Barker Schema.org Cetis (JISC funded) learning resource metadata initiative. Big names behind schema.org. = ontology + syntax Big and growing ontology. Dumbed down for people. LRMI adds to it. W3C go through it. It's creeping, how much do the big names actually care about stuff that's added? don't know how Google uses it. People should consider using it for more sophisticated search and disambiguation. Gill Hamilton Doing more with library metadata. Learnt from OKFN. Had to convince people in charge. Dublin core, didn't like; not specific enough. Instead RDF > OWL. "We know best how to structure our data" Hardest was convincing marketing people that there was no commercial value. Metadata is advert to actual resource. Enrico Motta Traditionally top down approach. So now so many people interacting with semantic structures, so should involve users. Recognise there isn't a unique or best way of doing things. Initial study included modeling task with binary relations. Patterns that are more or less intuitive. 4D least, 3D+1 most. N-ary most widely used by experts. Relationship between reasoning power and in…

content: Could have been better. I based it on this bread recipe, but amended according to my mother's advice. Thus, I made a batter with 1/3 of the flour (strong white bread flour; 6oz), all of the yeast (one 7g packet) and all of the water (415ml) and the oil (30ml), and left that covered in the airing cupboard for an hour where it bubbled away merrily. Next I mixed in the rest of the flour (12oz) and some salt and a handful of sunflour seeds, poppyseeds and pumpkin seeds. Contrary to what my mother promised, it was very sticky. I stirred vigorously and kept adding flour until I could cope with it, and kneading began. I kneaded for fifteen minutes, having discovered that sometimes punching instead of regular kneading is much more enjoyable. I turned it into six balls and one long bit, and arranged them on a tray and in an ad-hoc loaf tin, and they went back in the airing cupboard for about two and a half hours (I went out). I covered them, as instructed, and that was where things started to go wrong.. The bits that didn't get stuck to the tinfoil rose great. But the bits that stuck pretty much didn't get to rise. They rose outwards loads, but upwards was constrained. Rubbish. I baked them anyway (30 minutes, 220 degress celcius). Tastes great, textures is okay, appearance is disappointing. Next time I won't cover them quite so securely while they're rising. Far more holey than I was anticipating too; I'm not sure if under- or over-kneading causes this.

content: For breakfast I had Tesco's own brand bran flakes, with soya milk. HAHA that's a lie. I had a cupcake. Orange sponge with a square of dark chocolate in the middle. Homemade, so it doesn't count. Lunch was Linda McCartney sausages in my Mum's 'miracle bread' rolls that I brought back from home a couple of days ago. They have soya flour, and linseeds, and all sorts of stuff. Also in there was 'fresh' (actually week- old) spinach, ketchup, tabasco sauce, hummus and a pinch of magic BBQ spice mix. And bancha hojicha (a Japanese green tea). Then I made my own bread. It wasn't altogether successful. Over the course of the afternoon I drank a cold bottled concoction calling itself jasmine tea from the Chinese supermarket (because whenever I go into a Chinese supermarket I have to try a new weird drink). Dinner, then, was a sort of chilli bean stew, because I thought that would go well with the weird bread... [Soak and boil dried kidney beans; skip this part for canned ones, and chuck them in whenever]. Boileth a quarter of a swede and large chunks of new potatoes with the kidney beans, until everything is soft. Meanwhile: Half an onion, two cloves of garlic, a courgette, a red pepper, broad beans (frozen), a handful of tomatos and a handful of mushrooms into the wok to fry until they looked mostly cooked. Plus pinches of: Vegeta (which is a particularly good vegetable stock you'll find in an Eastern European supermarket); cajun spice mix; chilli powder; piri piri spice mix; garam masala and mixed herbs, and let sizzle for a while longer. Then Quorn mince and a tin of chopped tomatoes, a good mix, and simmer for an indeterminate amount of time (or until the other pan of boiling things is done). Combine two pans of boiling/simmering things (ideally into largest pan). Eat with bread and/or rice and/or a spoon. Follow with more cupcakes and tea.

content: GemuCon, a first-time gaming convention, wasn't normally the sort of event I'd go to. Especially not with the £35 ticket price tag. But it was being organised by one of my friends from my undergraduate, so I agreed to do the website (violating my no-more-freelance-work policy), and having botched together a custom registration system (scope creep) I was drafted in as 'Registrations Officer' on the committee, too. Since I was in Nottingham on the 4th for the Lovelace Colloquium anyway, I had no excuse not to go. It was a good job I did, as the checking-people-off-who-arrive system was web based, and the hotel wifi was not playing ball from the outset. We'd thought of that of course, and brought backup wifi dongles. Neither of which could get signal. So half an hour before registration opened I was writing a script to export the database into a nicely formatted spreadsheet (sounds simple; wasn't; ask if you're curious) so that we had more than one machine (I had the database locally on my laptop) we could register over 700 people with. Then it was literally non-stop. The other reason I was there was to morally support my good friend TomSka, who was attending as a guest because he is Internet Famous. So my time was split between hanging out in the Operations Room (mostly) to help confused con-goers with things like registration, lost property, picking up merchandise, finding the stairs, getting free cupcakes; making myself useful by running up and down ten flights of stairs on errands (until I discovered the service elevator; two 6-man lifts between 800 people hadn't been so accessible); and hanging out with Tom and Matt. On Saturday I helped him on his merch stall (we sold everything but all of the wristbands and all of the keyrings and earrings). During the quiet times when there were other big events on, and thus no customers, I had to make my own fun. On Sunday I live-tweeted Tom and Matt's panel "How to YouTube".

content: In 2008 I was in my first year of university, and the second ever Lovelace Colloquium was held in Leeds. I was encouraged to attend by Professor Cornelia Boldyreff and then-PhD student, now-Dr, Beth Massey. Doing so may have changed my life. At my first Lovelace, I was introduced to the very concepts of conferences, mentors and (importantly) networking. The event was, and has been ever since, a forum for thought-provoking technical talks, inspiring motivational speeches and stimulating discussions about technology-related disciplines, careers, and womens' role within this world. To attend Lovelace is to be surrounded by extraordinary and excited minds; undergraduates at the top of their game, and successful academics and industry professionals to advise and mentor. Having now been along as an attendee, a poster competition entrant and for the past two years as a judge, the conference has provided perfect annual milestones to mark my own academic progression and personal development. I have met so many wonderful people and made so many important connections thanks to this event that I genuinely think I would be in a different place today, perhaps as a different person, had I never been. I can trace back directly or indirectly to one or other Lovelace Colloquium many of the opportunities I have had to develop academically (poster presenting, inspiring conversations), professionally (networked my way to a Google internship) and personally (overcoming low self-confidence, understanding imposter syndrome and conquering public speaking). This year's, hosted by the School of Computer Science at Nottingham University, has been no different. For the first time ever I arrived with time to spare before registration, and got to know some of the other helpers and attendees. I was put in charge of organising posters, directed towards a room containing lots of large fuzzy blue boards, divided up the space based on the number expected in each category (First Year, Second Year, Fina…

content: I'm now officially a volunteer moderator for the Edinburgh Freegle group. I love Freegle (/Freecycle) and have used it for years. I've got rid of stuff I didn't need and given a loving home to many unwanted things. Things I love about Freegle are: Saving items from landfill. The environment says thanks! Getting stuff for free. My bank balance says thanks! Giving stuff away. Other peoples' bank balances say thanks! Knowing there's a network of like-minded, environmentally conscious people out there, and every now and again getting to briefly meet them. Seeing more of the city! Unless it's outrageously far or outrageously raining, I always walk to pick something up. I've seen a dozen parts of Edinburgh I would never have explored otherwise, and discovered a multitude of cute little independent shops that I would have remained disappointingly ignorant of. Possessions I have gained thanks to Freelge include: An under counter freezer. A futon mattress. Clothes. An electric citrus juicer. Ten empty tins for transporting cakes and stuff. A yoga mat. Duvet covers and throws. A kneeling chair. When I met the other moderators a couple of weeks ago to become officially trained in the process, I had no idea how much goes on behind the scenes. Well, I had some idea, but actually there's loads more. Edward Hibbert is behind it all. At it's core, Freegle still runs on Yahoo Groups. This means it's possible to interact with it through email alone. Thus, moderation takes place through the Yahoo Groups interface, but hugely enhanced thanks to Edward's moderator Firefox plugin. (It means I have to moderate using Firefox or suffer the consequences, but it's not so bad. One day maybe we/I'll port it to a Chrome extension). However, there's also a super high tech front-end at Freegle.in/Edinburgh. Check it out. The web interface helps people get their subject lines correct and keeps track of various user stats. It detects where people are posting from from the subject line and plots it o…

content: Change of plan. Trying to run the whole thing with Blogger templates did not result in a happy time. So the main site pulls and manipulates the Blogger RSS feed, with Simple Pie making that easy. I then simplified the actual Blogger template and made it match and stuff. The general intention now is that individual posts and comments will be viewed, if necessary, via Blogger, in a kind of archive-y way, but the content organised as I see fit exists on the main site as the primary port of call. But my goodness does Blogger automatically add some crap into its templates. I delete stuff and it comes right back. Pointless classes, and divs, and general unnecessary bulky markup. I give up with trying to strip all that out. By the way, the source code for the site is here. Share and share alike, yada.

content: Just notes! Workshop by Dr Mimo Caenepeel on Monday 22nd April. 'Critical' does not mean you have to pass judgement, or say why it's good or bad. Not taking things at face value. Started with freewriting about what has particularly influenced / inspired our own research. Five minutes, not allowed to stop or edit, don't worry about quality of writing, not for anyone else to read. A good way to get ideas out of your head and start to organise your thoughts without censoring or constraining yourself. How many pages will a review usually take up in a thesis? My policy is to write what needs to be written and stop when you're done. But apparently 20 to 30, sometimes more, is normal in sciences. There's no consistent / right answer to 'how many publications to review'. For some people it's in the tens, for some the hundreds. Think about how to integrate literature review into the thesis. You're unlikely to have a chapter that is just 'literature review' and no mention of the background reading elsewhere. Good qualities for a lit review? \\\\- Coherence (avoid fragmentation) \\\\- Structure, clarity. \\\\- Proof of novelty - purposeful. A review can often be considered as an indicator of the quality of the rest of the research - demonstrating scholarship. A good place to start: 1\\\\. Write your research question, formulated as a question. 2\\\\. Write up to five research areas that are relevant to your research question. 3\\\\. Note some related issues/areas that will not be considered in your review. Think about balance of content. 1\\\\. Three studies influential in your field (I couldn't answer this, I clearly need to read more). 2\\\\. Two significan older contributions. 3\\\\. Five recent sources. 4\\\\. Two sources that have strongly influenced your thinking. You don't need to consider all papers in the same level of detail. Decide which papers are more important / useful than others. For some papers (important ones) you should work through these questions in the sa…

content: Just notes from a three-hour workshop about how to write an Informatics thesis, on the 16th of April. State contributions (to knowledge) explicitly. Intro, conclusions; each chapter should have some (probably not all) contributions discussed. Be obvious; use headings. Knowledge - background: justify choices explain methods acknowledge alternatives evaluate Evidence, well-reasoned arguments, acknowledge limitations. Clear openings for future work. Be clear where they are. Make it reproduceable. Short / concise. Examiners like short theses. Introduce what's interesting and important. When outline thesis, look at structure of main argument, not of document. Background material must have point. Only include as much detail as you need to make point. Points, eg: Explain method you use. Novelty of your approach. Similarities with existing work. Justify choices (evaluate other work). Don't tear down others' work. 'Build on'. Cite examiners, they've probably published something relevant.. (but not for the sake of it). Then we had five minutes to write down what our PhDs are about and what we have already found out. I wrote: How do the futures of the Semantic Web and amateur digital content creation fit together? Can Semantic Web tools and technologies be used to enhance collaborative creative partnerships and encourage fruitful outputs? _ There are knowledge sharing systems and collaborative tools for scientific fields and in education, but nothing for creative artsy things. Attitudes towards data sharing and privacy amongst content creators are in flux. There are lots of projects and energy around open data and decentralised social networks that allow data to become portable and not tied to one platform. One of TBL's visions for the Semantic Web is the dissolution of data silos and 'walled' applications that disadvantage the user, and as such the promotion of the 'ownership' of a user's data by the user themselves, rather than the software or organisation that uses the data…

content: Resonate, held between the 21st and 23rd of March in Belgrade, Serbia, is "...a platform for networking, information, knowledge sharing and education. It brings together distinguished, world class artists with an opportunity of participating in a forward-looking debate on the position of technology in art and culture." (from the website). Before I left, I suggested I might return with the following: Information about creative processes for digital artworks. Anything to do with open data or decentralized social networking movements. Potential case studies or people to work with. I largely failed on all three counts. I was thrown from the outset by the apparent poor organisation of the event. Not to mention a complete lack of free food. But the main problem was that well over one thousand people had tickets, but on the first day the main lecture room could hold a few hundred at best. Seating consisted of a handful of sofas and armchairs and valuable floor space was occupied by altogether too many stylish coffee tables. For everyone not lucky enough to be among the first ten in the room it was aching backs and/or pins and needles all round. This situation improved slightly after the first day, when two more tracks opened in slightly bigger rooms, but there was still nowhere near enough space. People were bursting out all doors, so switching tracks ever wasn't an option. There were also several long delays or postponements. A few were weather related, but too many (ie more than none) were organisational; lack of projector in main room, etc. That aside, I was aware that an event labelled 'festival' wasn't going to be right at the conference end of the party<->conference scale, but I was surprised at just how much party it was. A party with thousands of people, where everybody knew someone else but me. This made it particularly difficult to interact. You might expect the opposite. Indeed, I suspect that for most people this was the perfect environment to make new friends,…

content: I had an amazing evening at the Starting up in IT panel discussion, followed by Innis & Gunn beer tasting on Thursday evening. It was held in the shiny MMS Quartermile One offices. (When I'm rich, I want a flat on Quartermile. A turret-y one, not a glass one. Or maybe both). I felt chronically under-dressed when I arrived - a majority were suited - but everyone was really friendly and forthcoming with advice. Anyway, speaking of being rich. There were lots of interesting business-wise people to talk to at this event, including CEO of Skyscanner Gareth Williams, and Craig Anderson of Pentech Ventures. Plus lawyers specialising in things like IP, employment, company formation, from MMS. The panel discussion was enlightening; I'll go through some highlights raw notes... Funding Skyscanner - 2 mil from Scottish Equity Partners 2007. Getting funding isn't a goal or validation. Best way to get funding is not to need it. Scottish Enterprise: match funding. Give as much as you get. Confide in investor. Getting wise Don't pitch too early. Build traction first. Prove potential marketshare one way or another. Preparing business plan is productive. Converting to a vision to a plan when you get funding. Subscribe to investment bloggers. Networkiiiing. Find someone to champion you to an investor. Gareth: As many people are delusional as have a key insight. How to know which you are yourself? Employees Do you need employees or contractors? Casual employees in between. Consultant / contractors own IP for work they do. Unless contract says otherwise. Employees don't, employer owns it. I heard about some really interesting ventures, too, like Identity Artworks which looks like they're making a _huge _difference to young people, and have really inspiring stories to tell. Plus ShareIn, soon launching an equity crowdfunding platform. Veeerrry interesting... The panel was followed by beer tasting hosted by Innis & Gunn. I don't drink, but I would have sipped along to be sociable. However…

content: 22nd - 28th April How to write a literature review workshop on Monday. Got hold of Amateur Media book (2012) in the NLS, and started reading it. Got in trouble for having a pen instead of a pencil to take notes. Oops. N00b mistake. Did more GeoLit related stuff than PhD stuff. Must try harder. (Got a funding application in and went to a tech start-up panel / networking event that was great). Fiddled with my lit review outline a bit, but didn't really accomplish much. Officially behind schedule for finishing by the end of the month (was I ever on schedule?). MUST TRY HARDER.

content: 1st - 7th April On Monday and Tuesday I'd blocked out 'PhD' time on my calendar, but what was I doing? I do make a point of updating my calendar with hindsight so it doesn't contain lies. I must have done something. On Wednesday I jetted off to exciting Newark, then on Thursday I was in Nottingham for the Lovelace Colloquium (and had a fabulous time). Friday to Sunday saw me running around in circles for GemuCon.

content: 8th - 14th April Wednesday: returned from brief sojourn at my mum's; TechMeetup. Thursday: 2nd UK Ontology Networks Workshop (link to notes to follow). Friday: missed Social Computing seminar as (I found out later) they changed rooms after I got there (8 minutes late, still not the latest). The rest: rewrote my literature review outline (still not happy, but need to stop agonising over it as it still doesn't contain anything substantial). Read a largely irrelevant paper about cultural computing (notes may or may not follow). Discovered a book I want and have asked the University Library to get. Only the first page of the chapter I want is available to preview (I've made enquiries to the author of the chapter, too). Started reading Socially Mediated Publicness: An Introduction by danah boyd; notes will follow.
