Introduction This deliverable has two tasks: To characterise the technical and logical architecture of Europeana as a system in its 1.0 state (that is to say by the time of the ‘Rhine’ release To outline the future work recommendations that can reasonably be made at that moment. This also provides a straightforward and logical structure to the document: characterisation comes first followed by the recommendations for future work. 2. Technical and Logical Architecture From a high-level architectural point of view, Europeana.eu is best characterized as a search engine and a database. It loads metadata delivered by providers and aggregators into a database, and uses that database to allow users to search for cultural heritage objects, and to find links to those objects. Various methods of searching and browsing the objects are offered, including a simple and an advanced search form, a timeline, and an openSearch API. It is also important to describe what Europeana.eu does not do, even though people sometimes expect it to.

  • Professor Marta Kwiatkowska
    Potential Supervisors Marta Kwiatkowska Marta Kwiatkowska is Professor of Computing Systems and Fellow of Trinity College, University of Oxford. Prior to this she was Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, Lecturer at the University of Leicester and Assistant Professor at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. She holds a BSc/MSc in Computer Science from the Jagiellonian University, MA from Oxford and a PhD from the University of Leicester. In 2014 she was awarded an honorary doctorate from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. Marta Kwiatkowska spearheaded the development of probabilistic and quantitative methods in verification on the international scene.

  • Axiomatizing Category Theory in Free Logic
    Axiomatizing Category Theory in Free Logic Christoph Benzm¨uller1 and Dana S. Scott2 1University of Luxemburg, Luxemburg & Freie Universit¨at Berlin, Germany 2Visiting Scholar at University of Califormia, Berkeley, USA October 15, 2018 Abstract Starting from a generalization of the standard axioms for a monoid we present a step- wise development of various, mutually equivalent foundational axiom systems for category theory. Our axiom sets have been formalized in the Isabelle/HOL interactive proof as- sistant, and this formalization utilizes a semantically correct embedding of free logic in classical higher-order logic. The modeling and formal analysis of our axiom sets has been significantly supported by series of experiments with automated reasoning tools integrated with Isabelle/HOL. We also address the relation of our axiom systems to alternative pro- posals from the literature, including an axiom set proposed by Freyd and Scedrov for which we reveal a technical issue (when encoded in free logic): either all operations, e.g. morphism composition, are total or their axiom system is inconsistent. The repair for this problem is quite straightforward, however. 1 Introduction We present a stepwise development of axiom systems for category theory by generalizing the standard axioms for a monoid to a partial composition operation. Our purpose is not to make or claim any contribution to category theory but rather to show how formalizations involving the kind of logic required (free logic) can be validated within modern proof assistants. A total of eight different axiom systems is studied. The systems I-VI are shown to be equiva- lent. The axiom system VII slightly modifies axiom system VI to obtain (modulo notational arXiv:1609.01493v5 [cs.LO] 12 Oct 2018 transformation) the set of axioms as proposed by Freyd and Scedrov in their textbook “Cat- egories, Allegories” [10], published in 1990; see also Subsection 9.2 where we present their original system.

This seal, approved on June 26, 1856, consisted of an open book surrounded by rays of light and circled by the words North western University, Evanston, Illinois. Thirty years later Daniel Bonbright, professor of Latin and a member of Northwestern’s original faculty, redesigned the seal, Whatsoever things are true, retaining the book and light rays and adding two quotations. whatsoever things are honest, On the pages of the open book he placed a Greek quotation from the Gospel of John, chapter 1, verse 14, translating to The Word . whatsoever things are just, full of grace and truth. Circling the book are the first three whatsoever things are pure, words, in Latin, of the University motto: Quaecumque sunt vera whatsoever things are lovely, (What soever things are true). The outer border of the seal carries the name of the University and the date of its founding. This seal, whatsoever things are of good report; which remains Northwestern’s official signature, was approved by if there be any virtue, the Board of Trustees on December 5, 1890. and if there be any praise, The full text of the University motto, adopted on June 17, 1890, is think on these things. from the Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Philippians, chapter 4, verse 8 (King James Version).

  • Functional Effects Detailed Research Plan
    GeCIP Detailed Research Plan Form Background The Genomics England Clinical Interpretation Partnership (GeCIP) brings together researchers, clinicians and trainees from both academia and the NHS to analyse, refine and make new discoveries from the data from the 100,000 Genomes Project. The aims of the partnerships are: 1. To optimise: • clinical data and sample collection • clinical reporting • data validation and interpretation. 2. To improve understanding of the implications of genomic findings and improve the accuracy and reliability of information fed back to patients. To add to knowledge of the genetic basis of disease. 3. To provide a sustainable thriving training environment. The initial wave of GeCIP domains was announced in June 2015 following a first round of applications in January 2015. On the 18th June 2015 we invited the inaugurated GeCIP domains to develop more detailed research plans working closely with Genomics England. These will be used to ensure that the plans are complimentary and add real value across the GeCIP portfolio and address the aims and objectives of the 100,000 Genomes Project. They will be shared with the MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and Cancer Research UK as existing members of the GeCIP Board to give advance warning and manage funding requests to maximise the funds available to each domain. However, formal applications will then be required to be submitted to individual funders. They will allow Genomics England to plan shared core analyses and the required research and computing infrastructure to support the proposed research. They will also form the basis of assessment by the Project’s Access Review Committee, to permit access to data.
