How do we turn unstructured police reports into actionable, interoperable knowledge?
A new open-access study shows how AI and semantic web technologies can transform law-enforcement archives from static scans into dynamic, queryable data systems. By combining LLM-driven entity extraction with semantic representation (RDF/OWL), narrative reports become searchable, linkable, and interoperable across agencies.

Social experience design #SX is the opposite of #DigitalTransformation and offers a #people-first "needs-driven" approach to solution development that scales from personal vantage point via inter-personal #relationships, up to societal levels. Digital transformation is no more than a shallow #technology-first "tech means progress" approach to improve #hypercapitalism's profitability.
Stop the mindless digital transformation trend. #DigitalTransformationRunsDeep into shitty dystopic territory.
We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.
#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.
In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.
France has officially endorsed the UN Open Source Principles, setting a global precedent! This move highlights open source as a governance model for the digital age, emphasizing principles like inclusivity, security, and sustainability. With initiatives like BlueHats and code.gouv.fr, France is leading by example in the public sector's adoption of open source. #OpenSource #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #UNPrinciples https://camptocamp.com/en/news-events/france-becomes-first-government-to-endorse-un-open-source-principles%2C-now-what-
> This mission-oriented, needs-driven strategy should inform the EU’s broader approach to funding digital technologies. As we have previously explored, programmes such as Digital Europe and Horizon Europe often adopt a technology-centric rather than problem-centric perspective. Drawn to narratives of disruptive technologies, they tend to focus on digitization for its own sake rather than addressing well-defined, strategically relevant needs

History happens when large numbers of people act coherently (in sync) to do something else than they were doing before
All three aspects are important: many, at the same time, doing something else
Nobody has a real handle of when and why this works. Marketeers, demagogues, educators, prophets, activists, they all try
But one thing is clear: #digitaltransformation has changed some essential mechanics. Mental states of vast populations can now be synced by algorithmic control like never before

My dream on the future of online #SocialNetworking? Simple. One that supports #people and #humanity much better than it does now, so it actually serves mankind.
I want us to get past the madness of mindless #DigitalTransformation, vicious spyware metaverses, and hungry #AI. That's all hypercapitalism. Dehumanising us, eroding the #social fabric, so it can prolong itself and serve the elite owner classes.
#Peopleverse starts offline, where we're humans of flesh and blood, living our daily life.
