5. XML Vocabularies for Online Communities: Past, Present, and Future By William Barnhill

6. Vocabulary Challenges • Tool and content authors in domain are often not graph theory experts, and want to read/write raw data • No well-defined set of required information to describe a person • Vocabulary will likely be extended within a short time for specific types of networks • For many networks, keeping data within communities of trust is a necessity • The amount of data within a Social Network can be very large, requiring efficient parsing

7. Features for expressiveness • Typed nodes (types may include "person", "resource", "organization", "knowledge", etc) • Multiple sets of nodes of the same type (to express multiple units within the company, etc) • Multiple typed attributes per node • Typed edges • Multiple typed attributes per edge • Multiple graphs (sets of edges), and dynamic network data, expressed within the same file

8. Some XML vocabularies for possible use by Social Software • DyNetML • XFN • Feed variants (Attention, RSS, Atom) • OWL/RDF • XDI

14. Facility Management • Facility management covers real time control and monitoring of all mechanical and electrical systems in a building • Heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) • Fire alarm and security systems • Electrical distribution and metering • Other systems (medical gas, generators, etc.) • FMS Definition... • “A facility management system should be a comprehensive resource… a collection of data that helps you mange your business, whether it be the utilities, energy, human resources, work orders or inventories. “

18. What kind of data? • Simple: Room Temperature of Lobby • Lengthy: List of people currently in East Wing with time of entry • Complex: Current state of all systems across an entire university campus • Reports: Variation of internal humidity of sports hall over the last 6 months

19. How is the data accessed? • Data is accessed at a ‘Datapoint’ and exposed by a ‘Point Service’ • Datapoints are revealed by a ‘Discovery Service’ • Data trends are reported by a ‘History Service’ • Critical events are signalled by the ‘Alarm Service’
