• Sarven Capadisli: Socially-aware Web (session chair: Elfi Goesaert)
  The Web is inherently social, decentralised, and for everyone. This talk navigates through Web's core principles and architectural concepts, emphasising both social and technical challenges, with a focus on standardisation and implementation efforts within Solid.

• Bert Verdonck: Towards a public sector data space in Luxembourg (session chair: Tobias Käfer)
  In this keynote we will explore the plans of the country of Luxembourg to thrive in the digital era. The Luxembourg National Data Service a recently created organisation by the government, focused on the secondary use of public sector data, to improve policy making, to stimulate research and innovation. This is only one of multiple initiatives in the government’s comprehensive data strategy, to coordinate investments into skills and data literacy, infrastructure (networks, cloud and compute), cybersecurity, governance (European digital infrastructure consortium), secure processing environments, data spaces, and more. The ultimate goal is to stay ahead and in control of a digital and a data transformation, to the benefit of the citizens and the society. This requires a seamless transformation of the data needed in primary processes as well the secondary use of data. We will explore some of the frameworks and technologies considered, without claiming that all solutions are known!
• Steffen Staab: Shapes for Sharing between Graph Data Spaces (session chair: Juan G. Diaz Ochoa)
  Data spaces in distributed environments should be allowed to evolve in agile ways providing data space owners with large flexibility about which data they store. Agility and heterogeneity, however, jeopardize data exchanges because representations may build on varying ontologies and data consumers may not rely on the semantic correctness of their queries in the context of semantically heterogeneous, evolving data spaces. Graph data spaces are one example of a powerful model for representing and querying data whose semantics may change over time. To assert and enforce conditions on individual graph data spaces, shape languages (e.g SHACL) have been developed. We investigate the question of how querying and programming can be guarded by reasoning over SHACL constraints in a distributed setting and we sketch a picture of how a future landscape based on semantically heterogeneous data spaces might look like.
• Jeff Zucker: Compassion, Creativity, Collaboration (session chair: Ross Horne)
  Sir Tim Berners-Lee describes the three C's in the title as what he designed the web to foster. Solid is an attempt to reorient the Web back to those principles. I'm going to explore some ways I've tried to approach this task. I'll talk about Solid Practitioners - a new group for supporting projects implementing social benefit. And about a Solid software stack I've been creating over the past six years that supports Sir Tim's vision of tools that encourage creativity and collaboration towards the development of shared knowledge and solutions to problems we face in common.
