.::LIGHTNING TALKS::.

All The World's API
:..>In this talk, we'll investigate what it takes to make common sense knowledge available as hackable APIs, and why it matters. The trivia like "how many people live in Paris" or "what novels did Kurt Vonnegut write" or "what's the synopsis of Game of Thrones S04E05" is easily reachable for a human, but frequently surprisingly hard to gather in a machine-readable way. While many particular and specialized APIs do exist, we are studying the generic approach: how humanity's open knowledge hubs like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap can be used to access structured knowledge from programming languages. A few practical libraries (of various maturity) presented, and potential future approaches discussed.

:..>Bio: Victor Shepelev aka zverok is a developer and writer from Ukraine. He works mainly in Ruby (and is involved in language documentation and evolution) but recently switched to Python to reach a broader audience with various passion projects of his, mostly related to open data and text processing.

Hacker Science Theater 3000 Presents: Johnny Mnemonic

Johnny Mnemonic is a 1995 Canadian-American cyberpunk action thriller film directed by Robert Longo in his directorial debut. The film stars Keanu Reeves and Dolph Lundgren. The film is based on the story of the same name by William Gibson.
