Summary of the week ending Friday, 2020-06-05

Privacy-By-Design is a principled approach to development and deployment modern apps and services that respect, rather than compromise, the privacy of end-users. Adherence to the aforementioned principle requires loose-coupling of the following items:

1. Identity – e.g., a WebID where a Hyperlink functions as an unambiguous agent (person, software, machine) identifier
2. Identification – a Profile Document comprising identity related claims i.e., credentials
3. Authentication – A credentials verification protocol e.g., TLS, WebID+TLS, WebID+TLS+Delegation, OAuth, OpenID Connect and combination of OAuth or WebID+TLS or WebID+TLS+Delegation
4. Authorization – Attributed-based Access Controls (ABAC)
5. Storage – various Data Management Protocols (e.g., HTTP, ODBC, JDBC, LDP, WebDAV)

Leveraging points 1-3 above, with regards to our Virtuoso platform, is achieved via its support for loose-coupling of Identity Service Providers via OpenID Connect.

Here are recent how-to guides about setting up and using Identity Provider Services from Apple and Microsoft via Virtuoso’s Virtualized Authentication Layer (a/k/a VAL):

1. How To: Add Apple Sign In (Identity Provider) Services to Virtuoso's Authentication Layer (VAL) – Apple

2. How To: Add Microsoft Identity Provider Services to Virtuoso's Authentication Layer (VAL) – Microsoft

• OpenID Connect contributes to solving the walled-garden problem by loosely-coupling: Identity, Identification, and Authentication.
  There are other standards in place that add loose-coupling of Authorization and Storage to the mix. Click to watch the Screencast

• Screencast putting concepts from prior tweets into perspective:
  A Hyperlink providing unambiguous Identity and Identification that scales to the Web (inc. Social Media), courtesy of RDF deployed using Linked Data principles via a JSONLD document.

• Identity management, especially disparate identity reconciliation, is tough!
  There is an Identity & Profile Mgmt add-on module for our Virtuoso RDBMS that solves these headaches by leveraging Linked Data and a Knowledge Graph.

Other Social Media Posts

• The power of Data, Information, and Knowledge exposed by a single Hyperlink manufactured by the Virtuoso Sponger and exposed via @datasniff as a SuperLink mapped to entities referenced in HTML text.

• Every Network is a Graph.
  Every Graph isn’t a Network.
  Why?

• All Labeled Property Graph (LPG) narratives are actually about Network Analytics applied to a Network derived from a dataset, despite the #Graph and Graph Database headlines. RDF narratives are deeper e.g., each Knowledge Graph comprises a variety of connection types.

• OpenLink Structured Data Sniffer (a/k/a datasniff) version 2.17.10 is now live and available

• Example using the SPARQL endpoint provided by our URI Burner service.

• Algorithms for verifying facts can be opensource but it still requires a platform like Twitter to leverage said functionality, transparently. Examples. Identity verification: How are blue-badge designations made? Profile Analytics: What % of followers are bots?

• SPARQL query that breaks down demographics by state

• You can’t solve Data Integration challenges without leveraging the power of Language Logic via a combination of RDF, Linked Data and an Ontology. If you believe otherwise, I await your refutal demos (not rhetoric). I can very easily demo my claims

• Stumbled upon this dataset published in Open Data form via a CSV document. Noticed that RDF Turtle is TBD.
  I just turn that into Linked Data (supporting all RDF-* doc types) in a single-click via URI Burner.

• Twitter issues lie in transparency. For instance, I’ve asked Jack to clarify the following, recently:1. How are blue-badges assigned to handles? 2. How does one determine how many bots make up the followers count per handle?
  These items are platform rage-quotient factors.

• CSV doc published by The Economist as part of their COVID-19 Open Data repo. Here is an Ontology that leads you into a Knowledge Graph generated by our URI Burner service.

• Also FT published a CSV document as part of their COVID-19 Open Data repo.Here is an Ontology that leads you into a Knowledge Graph generated by our URI Burner service.
