*Please distribute to others who may be interested...* You are hereby invited to the next weekly seminar in our interdisciplinary series on Evolution, Complexity and Cognition<http://ecco.vub.ac.be/?q=node/108>(ECCO) and theGlobal Brain Institute<http://www.globalbraininstitute.org/>(GBI).
*Time*:* Friday, May 4th, *14:00-16:00 p.m *Place*: *Room 3B217 * (building B, level 3, From the elevator take the long corridor to the right, to its end), on the VUB Campus Etterbeek (Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels), Free entrance: everybody welcome! * * ------------------------------ A walk in graph databases *Pierre De Wilde<http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=97393972&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=IqbN&locale=en_US&srchid=5e83ed35-d536-4d1c-a1ba-c1609716d5ac-0&srchindex=1&srchtotal=4&goback=.fps_PBCK_*1_Pierre_De+wilde_*1_*1_*1_*1_*2_*1_Y_*1_*1_*1_false_1_R_*1_*51_*1_*51_true_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2_*2&pvs=ps&trk=pp_profile_name_link> ** ( Tinkerpop, Memotive)* Abstract: For the past 40 years, most of our data have been stored in relational databases. Behind the NoSQL movement, we will see how scalability and index-intensive issues are addressed. After the introduction of the property graph model, we will start our walk in graph databases with Gremlin, a flexible graph traversal language. A step-by-step guide will help us to manipulate and traverse a graph database. Several traversal patterns will be explored. We will end our walk by connecting graphs to the Linked Data world.

Rodriguez and Peter Neubauer http://arxiv.org/abs/1004.1001 The speaker: Over the past ten years, Pierre has explored several ways to represent knowledge: Concept Maps, Semantic Web, Linked Data and Graph Databases. He has created an experimental navigation tool for knowledge bases like ConceptNet, DBPedia, Freebase, OpenCyc, TrueKnowledge. On top of the property graph model, he is currently creating an online concept mapping tool for fostering collective intelligence. ------------------------------ * Forthcoming ECCO/GBI seminars* * May 11 (ECCO/GBI) *An introduction to Living Labs Pieter Ballon<http://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=447789&authType=name&authToken=cZl8&locale=en_US&pvs=pp&trk=ppro_viewmore>(IBBT-SMIT, VUB) * May 18 (ECCO) *How speech-acts are conquering the world Luk van Langenhove <http://www.lukvanlangenhove.be/> (CRIS, United Nations University) * May 25 (ECCO/GBI) *'The Interrelatedness of Many Things': Toward a McLuhanist Philosophy of Technology Yoni Van Den Eede <http://nl-nl.facebook.com/yonivandeneede> ( Faculty of Philosophy, VUB) * June 1 (ECCO/GBI) *The social dynamics of ontological commitment Christophe Debruyne <http://www.linkedin.com/in/christophedebruyne>(STARlab, VUB) * June 8 (ECCO) *Who needs a worldview ?
