The Data Stewardship Wizard team invites experts and enthusiasts of semantic data, ontologies, FAIR and machine actionabliity to join us at ELIXIR BioHackathon on 9-13 November 2020 to work together on machine-actionable DMPs.
The event is virtual and free to attend. Register before 18 September.
Data Stewardship Wizard (DSW) developed in CCMi has become part of the VODAN-in-a-box – a FAIR data storage solution for COVID-19 data. The DSW serves as a “CRF Wizard” for entering patient data. DData is stored in the RDF triple-store and metadata in the FAIR Data Point, so the solution fully meets the FAIR principles, i.e. the data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable, which is crucial for fighting the pandemic.
The first VODAN-in-a-box installation took place at Kampala International University in Uganda.
Interested in the foundations of conceptual modelling? You may like to watch the keynote speech of Robert Pergl given in Vienna, September 2019.
In this keynote, I discuss two pillars of intellectual human endeavour: naming and hierarchies. I dig into the essence of these corner-stones of conceptualisation and explore their presence, significance and forms in various disciplines. Challenges of naming and hierarchies in engineering disciplines are discussed and lessons learned are formulated.
At DISP Lab, at Lyon, France, there is a PhD opening on « Ensuring Interoperability for “smart” information systems”. More information below.
International Workshop on Enterprise & Organizational Modeling and Simulation (EOMAS) is a workshop that has been organized by CCMi for several years in partnership with its partners. This year, his 15th edition was held in Rome, again as a co-located event with the renowned CAiSE conference.
This year’s event was very successful, EOMAS enjoyed plentiful participation and interest, and very interesting and lively discussions took place. In this year’s edition, a considerable number of contributions from CCMi members were present: Marek Suchánek, Vojtěch Knaisl, Jan Slifka and David Šenkýř presented their contributions.
The participants also heard a very engaging and inspiring keynote by prof. Jan Verelst of the University of Antwerp, who lectures our popular subject MI-NSS.
This year’s novelty was a “Master & Doctoral Consortium”, which also gives skilful Master and Doctoral students the opportunity to present their results and, in particular, get feedback from prominent experts.
The organizing team is already looking forward to the EOMAS 2020. So, see you in Grenoble, France!
This year Pharo Consortium has been accepted as a mentor organisation for
Google Summer of Code.

You may know a legendary “Trump’s flowchart“. Our students were not scared by it and they tamed it into a one-page essential model using the DEMO methodology in their MI-MEP semester project. Other teams tamed similarly e.g. legislation processes of Czech Republic and EU.
