Slides from presentation at Terminology Summer School 2016:
1) What is a Multilingual Knowledge System (MKS)
2) Three business cases: Systematic Terminology Work, Cross-border Interoperability, Cross-lingual Semantic Search
3) Summary: Key Role of MKS in Business
Driving Global Revenue through Multilingual Knowledge SystemsMichael Wetzel
Lexicons, glossaries, dictionaries, terminologies here – taxonomies, classifications, nomenclatures, thesauri, ontologies, encyclopedias and wikis there - All those resources capture either language or knowledge to a varying degree. Now, Multilingual Knowledge Systems (MKS) capture both: language and knowledge.
Where is the value in such a fusion of these – historically – rather separated worlds? What pain points are resolved, what gains are in reach? We will answer these questions from two points of view:
1) How do data maintainers – linguists, terminologists respectively subject matter experts and ontologists – benefit from a holistic language-knowledge inventory?
2) What is the tangible business value of an MKS? Which actual applications use an MKS? Where do users in an organisation become more efficient and effective by using MKS-enabled applications?
We illustrate through several examples how representing knowledge multilingually drives global revenues and how it facilitates cross-border operations
One time password(OTP) is the
authentication method used in online banking system today.
Hackers are getting better each day at cracking sensitive
information. Once this happened, they can gain access to our
private network and steal our sensitive business information. A
common technology used for the delivery of OTPs is text
messaging.OTP over SMS might not be encrypted by any serviceprovider.
In addition, the cell phones which is used to receive the
SMS also play an important role, in which more than one phone
comes into account. The vulnerable parts of the cell phone
network can be mount to man-in-the-middle attack[13]. To
overcome the difficulties the virtual password concept is
introduced. The virtual password concept involves a small
amount of human computing to secure user’s passwords in online
environments. To provide high security, we enhance the
existing system with virtualization concept [1]. Hacker may guess
our password but he cannot access our account because he
cannot access virtual password. The major hacking threats like
phishing, key-logger, shoulder-surfing attacks, and multiple
attacks cannot affect our schema. In user-specified functions, we
adopted secret little functions in which security is enhanced.
Virtual password is a password that is valid for only one login
session or transaction and after that it becomes obsolete [12]. The
calculation of the virtual password is done at the client side which
reduces the delay of time in receiving OTP via SMS. To make the
client more convenient in calculating the virtual password an
application is used which reduces the work of the client. This
method is more instant than the traditional OTP system used
today.

This paper is done essentially to study results of
Alumina (Al2O3
), Zirconia (ZrO2
) and Alumina-Zirconia
(Al2O3+40%ZrO2
) ceramic coatings by using plasma spray
process, with different coating thickness of 100μm, 150μm and
200μm are deposited on Al-7075T6 substrate. Coating
microstructure were characterized by using SEM. The coating
Micro hardness, Tribological behaviour and Surface Roughness
of the coated specimens were determined for Aluminium (Al-
7075T6) and Coated Al-7075T6. NiCrAl is used as a bond coat
for providing better coating adhesion. Dry sliding wear test were
performed for different sliding distance of 1000m, 2000m, and
3000m at a constant load of 10N by using a Pin-on-Disc. From
the above work the results were obtained it showed that,
Alumina-Zirconia (Al2O3+40%ZrO2
) coated specimens having
very good wear resistance property when compared to
Alumina (Al2O3
), Zirconia (ZrO2
) coating materials. These results
clearly demonstrate that the significant improvement in coating
performance can be achieved by proper thermal spray conditions
and proper mixing of coating powder composition.
This study presents the “overview of TCP
performance on satellite communication networks”, aimed at
satellite characteristics, their effects on throughput selected link
control protocols and various method proposed for enhancing
TCP throughput on satellite networks. Literature reviews on
satellite link characteristics and their effects on TCP operation in
satellite communication networks. Different improve strategies
that have been proposed to enhance TCP data throughput on
satellite links. The choice of frame size (n in bits) and window size
(W in number of frames) used to improve data throughput on
satellite links were considered in this study. Also, the role of
sliding window flow control protocol was considered. However,
the sliding window method ensures that traffic congestion on the
networks is minimized and also, increases the TCP throughput in
satellite communication networks
The aerosol measurements have been carried out at
Kolhapur (16°42′N, 74°14′E) by using twilight technique. Newly
designed Semiautomatic Twilight Photometer was operated
during the period 1 January 2009 to 30 December 2011 to study
the vertical distribution of the mesospheric aerosol number
density per cubic decimeter (dm3
). Here after aerosol number
density per cubic decimeter (dm3
) is abbreviated as ‘AND’. In the
present study vertical distribution of AND during strong meteor
showers days is discussed. In the present work an attempt is
made to calculate the mesospheric aerosol number density per
cubic decimeter (AND) using Twilight Sounding Method (TSM),
for the first time in India. The dust particles during strong
meteor showers intrude in the Earth’s atmosphere below 120
Km. The dust particles of strong meteor showers penetrate the
lower atmosphere and also act as cloud condensation nuclei
(CCN).
Information in textual data doesn’t cross-borders. Semantic interoperability is not a translation problem but rather an issue of meaning equivalence across languages. This can be achieved by multilingual linking stored in a knowledge system.

ILKR 2017: No Internet of Things / Industry 4.0 without SemanticsMichael Wetzel
Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things is all about connecting systems. Hardware is plugged together by relying on standardized layers and networks. But what we really want is that these devices speak to each other; they interoperate. This requires a mutual understanding of what they actually do, like “I measure temperature. What do you measure?” The answer is in the semantic of the devices’ metadata: often textual, multilingual.
Without such semantic interoperability devices will not be able to speak to each. If human intervention is necessary the IoT with billions of devices will remain a nice buzzword for a great vision.
Linked Data has become a broadly adopted approach for information management and data management not only by government organisations but also more and more by various industries.
Enterprise linked data tackles several challenges like the improvement of information retrieval tools or the integration of distributed data silos. Enterprises understand better and better why their information management should not be limited by organisational boundaries but should rather consider to integrate and link information from different spheres like the public internet, government organisations, professional information providers, customers and even suppliers.
On the other hand, enterprise IT architects still tend to pull down the shutters wherever possible. The continuation of the success of the Semantic Web doesn't seem to be limited by technical barriers anymore but rather by people's mindsets of intranets being strictly cut off from other information sources.
In this talk I will throw new light on the reasons why metadata is key for professional information management, and why W3C's semantic web standards are so important to reduce costs of data management through economies of scale. I will discuss from a multi-stakeholder perspective several use cases for the industrialization of semantic technologies and linked data.

SoundSoftware: Software Sustainability for audio and Music Researchers SoundSoftware ac.uk
Presented at the SoundSoftware 2012 Workshop: http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2012
Sustainable and reusable software and data are becoming increasingly important in today's research environment. Methods for processing audio and music have become so complex they cannot fully be described in a research paper. Even if really useful research is being done in one research group, other researchers may find it hard to build on this research - or even to know it exists. Researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to publish and maintain software code alongside their results, but practical barriers often prevent this from happening. We will describe the Sound Software project, an effort to support software development practice in the UK audio and music research community. We examine some of the the barriers to software reuse, and suggest an incremental approach to overcoming some of them. Finally we make some recommendations for research groups seeking to improve their own researchers' software practice.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.

The Business Case for:
Terminology and Data Maintainers
What is an MKS?
• Fusion of terminology with taxonomy /
thesaurus models
• Captures language and knowledge

Ad-hoc Collecting Terms is Dangerous
17
Do you feel incomfortable by adding and
adding new data without a pause?
Where are the doublettes?
Did we translate some records twice?
Can we unify two larger terminology
resources?
Visualise and make above
navigatable.
Avoid noise and redundancies.
Achieve clarity and consistency.

Semantic Interoperability
“We are connecting systems”
Vocabularies only for meta
data?
This is rather syntactic
interoperability
25. 14-07-2016 MKS – Multilingual Knowledge Systems @wetzelmichael 26
Problem: Cross-Border Interoperability
Not a translation but a semantic
problem:
Is Austria‘s Matura the same as
Germany‘s Abitur? And its
synonyms?
What if a qualification like
Realschulabschluß doesn’t exist in
other countries?
„Agree on that we disagree“

Creating a Unified Resource
– across Languages
27
UK SE DE
Multiple terminologies
are merged into a unified
resource.
Linguistic similarity search:
maps units that share
the same meaning.
27. 14-07-2016 MKS – Multilingual Knowledge Systems @wetzelmichael
Concept Mapping Example:
Trademark Classifications
Remote controls for diapositive projectors
Remote controls for projectors
Controls for projectors
Remote controls for slide projectors
Uses advanced linguistic search activating strict metadata
rules to achieve meaning matching.

A Little Protocol: Processing such Large
Language Resources
Start
• 110,000 English terms
• Other languages ranging from 8,000 to 60,000 terms
Clean
• Reduced English to 93,000 terms
Language
coverage
• 93,000 terms in all EU languages too expensive without automation
• Therefore: Mining data for translations
• DB grew from 400,000 to 2.1m terms
Conceptual
clustering
• Non essential entries removed – DB shrunk to 1.5m terms
• Semi-automatic creation of 50,000 meaning clusters
Taxonomy
• Built for the top layers and concepts linked

Success Story: Cross-border
Interoperability in Trademarks

• Seamless and
borderless intellectual
property registration,
opposition, and legal
processing, in all bodies
of the EU and the
member states
Organizational
Benefits
• My trademark, as it is
described in my native
language, can be
applied for globally
without changes and is
subject to the same
legislation all over the
EU
