Presentations
-
Michael Pronin — Service Design and Engagement —> GovCMS slides and demo —> RaC Rules as Code: takes legislation, regulations and policy and turning them into machine-readable code. OpenFisca is an open source Python implementation rules engine. MOP(S) —> Ministerial and Parliamentary Services. Production instance 4-6 months away; options for classification of privacy.
- Question form Michael Hodgkin —> can expose answers as JSON from API —> enables rules for Linked Data not just results —> more dynamic. Regenerates ontological records from underlying rules when you query the API.
- Comment from Michael Hodgkin —> AI-adjacent is important. Very excited about this
- Comment from Rob Atkinson —> data provenance modelling and where the interoperability of provenance modelling can be worked on? MP reply modelling simulations. Fisca does microsimulations
-
Ann Goldsack and Michael Elliott-Smith - Department of Recources in Queensland —> spatial data in a non-spatial database —> Semantic Web model for address information —> now adopted as the national model for addressing! https://linked.data.gov.au/def/addr. Vocabularies —> geographic place types and features —> conversion into a controlled vocabulary required a rethinking of the traditional way of structuring. Much expansion of the vocabulary in this process as well. Defining concepts and working out how to cluster concepts (e.g. parent-child). On-going maintenance is also a challenge. More exploration to do before full-on implementation of the tools in full force. Feeling proud! Have come along way - it’s not unachievable to anyone! Much appreciation and gratitude to Nic and the Kurrawong team :)
- Rob Atkinson questions: Is there a polyhiearchical coding in existence? Edmond —> JSON-LD —> SHACL SHAPEs can be publicly published
Al Paton Gov-Hack To be updated via the mailing list
Transcript of chat:
[16:00] O'Connor, Phill (Unverified) Hi Brains trust I am looking to get access and a copy of this content Public Policy Taxonomy | AGLDWG Catalogue (data.gov.au) Public Policy Taxonomy | AGLDWG Catalogue [16:02] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) John please read your email  [16:02] John Machin (Unverified) Matthias did you send it to Finance? [16:02] John Machin (Unverified) If so, please try [email protected]! [16:02] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) I did. Have you got a new job I didn't hear about? [16:03] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) tl;dr if someone could send me the official meeting invite that would be great. like 1 [16:05] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) Mailing list? I need to be subscribed to that, too! 🤣 like 1 [16:06] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) I can showcase the modular JSON-LD implementation of the ICSM 3D Cadastre Survey Data Exchange Model. like 2 [16:10] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) were seeing the presenter's view... [16:19] John Machin (Unverified) "Ministerial and Parliamentary Services" [16:25] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) JSON-LD implying an underlying ontology? Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified)16:32 No question, but this is rather exciting. I'm thinking how this could be useful for researchers in determining their obligations within all the rules they work under.  2 Like reaction. [16:34] John Machin (Unverified) Rob A. says: "What does the (LD) provenance space look like once AI is involved?" [16:34] Hodgkin, Michael (Unverified) provenance is just another set of rules, isn't it? [16:35] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) interoperability of provenance solutions in many overlapping application domains... John Machin (Unverified)16:35 Yes, but I would say it is an interesting one. Maybe we need to have another big community chat about it again? [16:42] John Machin (Unverified) A great achievement. Australian jurisdictions have historically taken a very long time to reach consistency of approach. 2 Like reaction. [16:47] John Machin (Unverified) A common experience for many (especially those who have spent a lot of time with statistical classifications?) I expect. heart 1 [16:47] John Machin (Unverified) I'm outting my past self here! [16:52] Hodgkin, Michael (Unverified) Were there any metaphors, stories or concepts you found useful to convey taxonomies and polyhierarchy to your stakeholders? [16:53] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) When doing the ICSM Cadastre model we needed a JSON-LD encoding - we ended up with a placeholder pending an authoritative solution: https://icsm-au.github.io/3d-csdm-profile-icsm/bblock/icsm.profiles.datatypes.address
[16:55] Edmond (Unverified) There is an unofficial JSON-LD context + framing used within the UI admin system for the addresses system. We may be able to publish this in the future alongside the Address data model. Address data model repository: https://github.com/Spatial-Information-QLD/address-model heart 1
[16:58] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) It's a chicken parmi, mate.
[16:58] John Machin (Unverified)
Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) It's a chicken parmi, mate. maaaaaaaaate
[16:58] Matthias Liffers (ARDC; he/him) (Unverified) Another good example is polony/devon/luncheon. like 2 And don't get me started on standard measures of beer. 
1 Super work Anne, Michael, got to go. Thanks... by Matt Duckham (Unverified)Matt Duckham (Unverified)16:59 Super work Anne, Michael, got to go. Thanks.  1 Like reaction.

Polyhierarchy and the Dissolution of Meaning « Information Panopticon Polyhierarchy and the Dissolution of Meaning “Everything is everything/What is meant to be, will be.” – Lauryn Hill Polyhierarchy Polyhierarchy is “a controlled vocabulary structure in which some terms belong to more than one hierarchy.… informationpanopticon.blog
Hodgkin, Michael (Unverified)17:00 On feature naming, the google leak showed how they handle it Their schema has support for a distinct feature name per room, per structure, per person. Presumably so we can all have our own pet name to describe our bathrooms. Seemed like overkill for our use cases, but amazing they thought of that.
(Unverified)John Machin (Unverified)17:00 Thanks for coming everyone! We are close to time, but I can keep the meeting going a while longer if the discussion is still going. If you have to go thanks for the time you could share. has context menu
[17:03] Rob Atkinson (Unverified) sounds like two summits - provenance and address schemas for JSON-LD use.
[17:03] Tran, Tran (Unverified) Thanks all! Great work!
[17:04] Margie Smith (Unverified) Thank you Anne and Michael.
[17:06] Michael Elliott-Smith (Unverified) Anne & I are going to disappear. Thank you for the opportunity to present today!
