EMWCon
=========================
When: 9 AM Wednesday April 3, 2019
Where: Genesys
EMWCon, or the Enterprise MediaWiki Conference, is an annual event, first held in 2016, which includes talks, workshops and tutorials relating to the use of MediaWiki outside of Wikimedia sites, including by companies, organizations and government agencies. It was spun off from SMWCon, or the Semantic MediaWiki Conference, which began as a twice-annual event in 2010 but became once-annual in 2016. EMWCon is generally held in the United States in the spring, while SMWCon is generally held in Europe in the fall.

10. Wikis and bias
Daren Welsh

Humans are prone to bias and noise. Algorithms can mitigate noise from humans, but bias can be programmed into algorithms by human developers. If we use wikis to help us make critical decisions, how do we identify and mitigate bias in our algorithms?

11. Nifty Semantic Structures That Do Stuff
Ike Hecht

A demonstration of how generic semantic structures can be effective and reusable. Features a Task manager, News feed and File manager built using Semantic MediaWiki.

Code sponsored by Clarence-Rockland Family Health Team in Rockland, Ontario, Canada.

A live wiki with the Task Manager and News Feed implemented can be seen [https://emwcon.dev.wikiworks.com/index.php?title=Main_Page here]. There are also links to download the two structures as XMLs.

Cindy Cicalese

This talk will illustrate a process for adding structured data to an existing wiki already populated with content. Examples will be given using both [[Extension:Semantic MediaWiki|Semantic MediaWiki]] and [[Extension:Cargo|Cargo]]. A transformation script written in Python using [[Pywikibot]] to manipulate the wiki content will also be demonstrated.

18. Using (Semantic) Mediawiki on an Enterprise Knowledge Management Platform
Matteo Busanelli

=== Abstract ===
Knowledge is the most important and valuable asset for enterprises second only to their persons. Organizations (especially the big ones) mainly has an huge amount of information about business, know-how and more and more often about the complex underlyng IT systems landscape (think about [[:en:Industry_4.0|INDUSTRY 4.0]] and IOT). Often, due to a '''lack of methodology, culture and appropriate tools''', organizations are not able to manage and take full advantage of the potential of their data.

Based on our experience on banks, insurrances and pubblic administrations '''in the last 10 years we have developed a practical approach and a set of tools based on Semantic Web standards''' (ontologies, RDF/OWL, [https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-query/ SPARQL] etc...) to help our clients to easly recollect their eterogeneus information, reconciling them accordigly to a formal ontological model to finally republishing them together in an open, standard '''Enterprise Knowledge Management platform'''. 


Here we will present this approach and give a focus on our practical experience expecially on the '''advanced usage that we made of''' [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org '''Semantic Mediawiki''']. 

In fact [[MediaWiki 1.31|Mediawiki]] with a set of specific extensions (i.e Semantic Mediawiki, Page Form, Semantic Result Format, Semantic Drilldown etc...)  represents a core component of the KM platform enpowered with some custom components we made for d'''ata integration/mapping, enrichment, visualization and finally to republishing''' all information as a queryable '''Enteprise Knowledge Graph'''. 

All presented results are taken from real business cases: we will see implementation for IT governance and [[:en:Enterprise_architecture|Enterprise Architecture]] portal for big european bank and insurrance groups. Next we will see implementations for costs allocation and budgeting distributions in the complex IT services scenario.

We will show an implementation for Personal Data Treatments Register in related to the '''[https://eugdpr.org/ GDPR]''' european normative compliancy and last but not the least we will presents an interesting application of Semantic Mediawiki as open data '''portal for vertical services of Pubblic Administrations''' and in particular for '''local turism promotion''' through a federation of portals called '''Smart City Hubs'''.
