Finland invests in future rail link to Norwegian Sea

Finland is under pressure to switch its rail to the standard European gauge. In the first phase, a planned train line is to run between Kemi and Haparanda, Sweden.

#DIN #Spec 91526 released on #Knowledge #Graphs for #Language models and vice versa: Hybrid applications of #symbolic and sub-symbolic #AI

The #standardization focuses on the advantages of hybrid approaches that combine symbolic knowledge with modern language models.

@NFDI4DS was involved in creating the specification together with other partners from academia and industry.

****What is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?

Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsWhat is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?The rapid advancement of environmental DNA (eDNA) science in the past two decades has inspired a concomitant growth in the development of eDNA sampling and analytical methods. However, these methods are often developed by individual laboratories or institutions, which can isolate protocols within programmes, agencies or regions and prevent the beneficial exchange of data and ideas. Recent efforts to advance national and international coordination have resulted in a groundswell of standardisation efforts, but there is still considerable confusion around the role of formal standards for regulatory or research applications. With this commentary, we hope to provide clarity on the terminology used in standardisation discussions, including the differences between formal standards and best practice guidelines. Additionally, we discuss how eDNA method choice may be informed by environmental management scenarios and review examples of formal eDNA method standards being used to inform management action. The eDNA community now has an opportunity to develop a roadmap for method development to help close standardisation gaps, advance eDNA method adoption and accelerate our ability to monitor biological life at the scales our current environmental challenges demand.

At tomorrow's Cyberbreakfast "Data Ecosystems", #NFDI Director York Sure-Vetter will give an introduction to the important role of standardisation in research data management and how NFDI is working to connect data spaces from science and industry.

Continued thread

I could imagine something like a "#PipePost" / "pneumatic tube" like system to become ubiquitous - and more #standardization re: #containers for stuff due to #ResourceScarcity and the need to #UseLonger, #Repair and #Recycle way "harder"...

  • Tho I guess once #MSLA & #Filament printers with #CNC routers can be made into #WashingMachine - sized units that can completely print, cure and assemble stuff within minutes automatically up to 2x1x1m then I'm convinced we'll see them as ubiquitous as todays #WashingMachines, because my Grandmas grew up without any washing machine, early "clothes cookpots" and died long after modern "fire and forget" units were ubiquitous to the point that if one household doesn't have one they have communal ones in the apartment complex or can afford to go to a laundromat if not get their clothes done professionally...

You're missing the point (re: fluid storage).

The point is that multiple battery capacities/amperage/etc is easily supported.

Think of ordinary household batteries. You have AAA, AA, C, D, 9volts, lantern batteries, "watch/hearing-aid" batteries, etc, all sold in just about every store.

"#Standardization" doesn't mean "just one battery type". It standardizes the shape/size and means of connection depending on its use. Kiosks could easily handle a half dozen #EV #battery types.
