who made his first-team debut last weekend
Borussia Dortmund are said to be in talks to extend the contract of highly rated right-back Lion Semic
Saturday was a memorable day for Lion Semic
as he made his first-team debut for Borussia Dortmund
The 18 year old has been with the Black and Yellows since 2017
and has played an important role in the U-19s’ success this season
have shown an interest in signing the young right-back
But those in charge at BVB are optimistic that Semic will decide to stay at the club beyond the end of the season
Semic has made 20 appearances so far this season for the Borussia Dortmund U-19s
The attack-minded full-back has three goals and four assists to his name
His best performance arguably came against Manchester United in the UEFA Youth League round of 16
where he set up the opening goal for Jamie Bynoe-Gittens
Right-back is an area where Borussia Dortmund are lacking cover in the first-team
So if Lion Semic can continue his development in the coming months
he could well get his opportunity in the first-team
The Germany U-19s international has shown that he has the potential to play in the Bundesliga
and it will be interesting to see what the future holds for him

the SEMIC team tackled various topics to help public administrations in Europe solve semantic interoperability challenges
This included updating our data specifications such as DCAT-AP
sharing knowledge and insights on our semantic solutions through studies
and setting up new pilots to test ISA² solutions - just to name a few highlights
SEMIC (Semantic Interoperability Community) is an ISA² action promoting the use of semantic tools and solutions to address interoperability challenges faced by EU countries when exchanging data for the execution of European public services
The action provides free of charge a number of semantic specifications and solutions
The SEMIC team has worked with enthusiasm in the past months to continue providing up-to-date
fit-for-purpose and effective solutions that can support complex interoperability projects
SEMIC engages an active community of practitioners who enable semantic interoperability across their organisations and promote our common goals
The timeline below shows the key highlights and milestones of the action between July and December 2018
The 2018 edition of the SEMIC conference on ‘Linked Digital Public Administrations’ was one of the key moments to connect and engage with our diverse community of interoperability experts. We shared the conference report allowing you to relive the highlights of the conference that took place in Sofia
Bulgaria on 14 June under the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU
The planning of SEMIC 2019 in Finland is on its way
We worked on updates of our data specifications to make sure they continue to provide value for your organisation:
As part of our commitment to share knowledge with our community
we carried out two studies to showcase the use and benefits of semantic specifications and assets and to explain how our solutions are relevant for public administrations:
We helped to drive three pilots using ISA² specifications
involving various stakeholders in the EU Member States and the European Commission:
Our team participated in key events to share information and insights, to present our solutions and to give a semantic point-of-view on interoperability topics, such as the ISA² Mid-Term Conference (Brussels, 29 November) or the CEF eTranslation Conference (Brussels

My holiday-packing checklist usually skews sparse and casual, with mostly practical essentials like bikinis, sunscreen, shorts, sunglasses and flat sandals that can transition from the beach to the evening aperitivo. This summer, however, I’m headed to Tel Aviv for a wedding which requires a touch more pre-planning and outfit consideration

The theme of #SEMIC2021 is “Human Centric Data Spaces – Powered by Interoperability”
the annual semantic interoperability conference
The event is organised by the ISA² Programme of the European Commission in collaboration with the Bulgarian Presidency of the Council of the EU
Opened by the Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society
the conference will bring together policy makers
IT practitioners and researchers interested in topics related to semantic interoperability for public administration
the theme of the conference will be "Linked Digital Public Administrations"
public administrations exchange data with each other and with citizens and businesses
interconnect their systems and link their data
as they do not have to provide the same information several times
these registers hold data of immense value for the public
making these and other data produced by public services available and linkable with data from other sources
This provides opportunities for large-scale data analytics
machine learning and artificial intelligence
as a source of knowledge for society as a whole
The participants of SEMIC 2018 will have an opportunity to discover and share current trends and recent developments in relation to these topics

For a man or woman of noble status living in the 18th century
Kensington Palace was the place to see and be seen
The site of grand balls and lavish receptions
to jostle for favour with the king and queen
The visitors’ court suits and large gowns panniered with whalebone hoops were admired by throngs of onlookers and fawned over in newspapers
The glittering social scene of the Georgian court might seem like a bygone era but look to the Met Gala or the Academy Awards ceremony today and you’ll find scenes that wouldn’t look out of place in the royal court 300 years ago
“The court has been replaced by the red carpet as the key sphere of fashionable influence and fashionable display,” says Claudia Acott Williams
a forthcoming exhibition on the subject at Kensington Palace

“Seeing these celebrities being manoeuvred out of their Mercedes Sprinter vans onto the red carpet by a sea of attendants who then arrange their gowns around them made us think there’s something here,” says Williams
“The 18th century was also the moment of the birth of celebrity culture in the way that we understand it now thanks to the expansion of the print press
which created an obsession with notable names and a fashion press that was commenting on what was being worn at court.”

“It was literally my first design for Garrard so to have it worn by Beyoncé was really cool,” says Sara Prentice

where elite members of the royal court would be invited into the monarch’s state bedchamber to watch them dress
“It always seems completely bizarre to people
but we’re all fascinated by the Vogue ‘Getting Ready with’ videos that show celebrities preparing for these events,” says Williams
pointing to Kendall Jenner’s behind-the-scenes video of her before the Met Gala
The show will also feature designs by a new generation of names such as Harris Reed and Edward Crutchley
whose sumptuous green lurex and crinoline gown from his SS22 collection echoes the hoop petticoats and status-signalling court mantuas of the 18th century
“While we might tell ourselves that the days of aristocratic exclusivity are something of the past
in reality we have just continued this in a different guide,” says Crutchley
who drew inspiration from the queer culture of London in the 1720s for his collection
“The red carpet is the same thing as the staircase at Kensington Palace
You only get through the door if you know the right people and have the right outfit on.”

and a 3m-wide marigold yellow silk mantua worn by Helen Robertson of Ladykirk to a ball at Holyrood in 1760
as an example of women using the red carpet as a way to shape their public image
the Marilyn Monroe-inspired ball gown marked a departure from her usual style of baggy T-shirts and tracksuits and cemented her shift from neo-goth teen pop sensation to grown-up and sophisticated star
“It was a kind of debut moment or a moment of major rebranding for both of them,” says Williams
“The mantua had been chosen by Helen Robertson shortly after she had married
all of her court clothing would have been chosen by her mother
so this was her stepping out as a woman in her own right and rebranding herself on her own terms.”
such as an extraordinary shimmering silver silk satin brocade mantua that was believed to have been worn by Lady Rockingham
the wife of the British prime minister Charles Watson-Wentworth
and whose colours expressed her political affiliations
“It made it very clear what her political standing was at court – much like the way we see clothing today used very explicitly to make a political statement,” says Williams

the exhibition aims to highlight the enduring style “rules” governing today’s most exclusive red carpet events and the parallels between past and present use of dress
“All this protocol and ceremony is about showing reverence and respect for the institution,” says Williams
“Those rules might have changed dramatically
but the thing that persists is the idea of clothing as a way of showing respect for the environment that you’re in and dressing to impress or dressing to express
and using clothing as a tool to communicate.”

Chopova Lowena kilts on show at a celebration of the release of its book Conversations with Angels
2023 © Shutterstock“It’s utilitarian and feminine but also sexy and really easy to throw on,” says Ssense’s head of digital content Steff Yotka
“I always say a Chopova Lowena skirt is the easiest thing to wear because the skirt does all the styling… You can pair it with the most basic black T-shirt and tights and suddenly you look really dressed up.” Yotka
whose collection of kilts is “in the double digits”
“My wardrobe is all about being able to walk fast on the sidewalk in New York
and a kilt with really intense lug-soled boots is a great way to breeze past people in style.”
as well as “bestselling cult favourites” by Charles Jeffrey Loverboy as being typical of the trend
“It’s refreshing to see how so many designers are reinterpreting the style for a new audience.”

Glaswegian designer Charles Jeffrey, who has been wearing kilts since he was four, creates styles for Loverboy that reference his heritage as well as ‘70s punk and club kid culture. “We would wear them a lot for weddings and family events, so they have always been around,” he says. Fabricated in his signature electric blue and red tartan (from £511)

They give the effect of feeling a little bit traditional and subversive at the same time
“Kilts are evergreen,” says HTSI’s commissioning editor Rosanna Dodds

Kilts are where schoolgirl and librarian meet
They’re smart but not stuffy.” Thanks to the adjustable straps

“I think most things that fashion would consider kilts are actually pleated skirts,” she says
“Though they all give the same effect of something that feels a little bit traditional and subversive at the same time.”

whose grandmother worked as a kilt-maker on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile
and whose London-based label Le Kilt is a continuation of this heritage
“There’s also a particular weight of fabric that makes it a kilt for me
It’s not necessarily that it’s in tartan but it definitely has to be a good-quality
Handcrafted in Scotland from British wool and accented with a signature silver safety pin, Le Kilt’s offering runs the full gamut of colours and patterns, though the most popular style is the black Classic 01
an everyday kilt based on the Black Watch kilt McCoach’s grandmother made her as a Royal College of Art student (£400)
“It’s quite understated and just fits seamlessly into your wardrobe,” she says
pairing them with a white T-shirt in summer and a shearling jacket with Birkenstock clogs in winter
Recently she’s also enjoyed layering her own micro kilts over trousers
The joy of a kilt is that there’s no one way to wear them

The conference brought together a range of experts in the fields of data science
Stakeholders from the public and private sectors discussed how different data sets can be exchanged between data providers and consumers
while protecting the ethical and legal aspects that put people at the centre
Semantic interoperability is crucial to the coherent flow of data and the creation of data spaces and a single market for data within the EU
which was attended by more than 350 participants
was officially opened with opening remarks by the European Commissioner for Budget and Administration
the Slovenian Minister of Public Administration
and the Director-General of DG DIGIT at the European Commission
Minister Koritnik expressed his satisfaction that Slovenia
through the priorities of the Slovenian Presidency
is actively involved in promoting digital transformation
artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
He recalled that the European strategy for data foresees a common European data space for EU public administrations and a digital single market to promote seamless access to and reuse of data
It aims to ensure competitiveness and data sovereignty in Europe that will support the development of an attractive
The European strategy on artificial intelligence provides the basis for dealing effectively with different forms
in particular for the effective use of data to support decision-making and provision of services
Semantic interoperability refers to the true meaning of data
especially when combining data from different systems
The important issue is to centre the digital world around humans as one of the key parts of digital transformation
According to Minister of Public Administration
scientific progress and ethical aspects based on European democratic values
The plenary speaker of the conference was Marko Grobelnik from the Jožef Stefan Institute
digital champion and researcher in the field of artificial intelligence
active in a number of prestigious international committees and research groups and participant in the UNESCO International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence in Slovenia
In his contribution “Real-time monitoring of AI for policy”
Grobelnik demonstrated his valuable experience and rich knowledge and gave a broader outline of automated creation and management of semantics with various rules
as the presiding country of the EU Council
presented itself as a moderator of two parallel sections
The first section entitled “Showcasing the role of interoperability in public services” was moderated by Karmen Kern Pipan from the Directorate for Informatics at the Ministry of Public Administration
and the second entitled “Text mining and semantics” by Slavko Žitnik from the Faculty of Computer and Information Science at the University of Ljubljana
Experts from the Ministry of Public Administration presented two important projects in the field of data management and artificial intelligence
in collaboration with Blaž Zupan from the Faculty of Computer and Information Science at the University of Ljubljana
presented an artificial intelligence tool for comparing unstructured texts in respect to the meaning (semantic comparison) – Semantic text analyser with the paper “Implementing a semantic analysis pipeline for public sector documents”
while Bernarda Kozelj and Boštjan Tovornik presented the common application widget Tray
a system for standardised execution of electronic data queries in the contribution “The Slovenian once only platform for data exchange and the TRAY solution”
postgraduate and master students presented their research ideas in the Academic Speaking Corner
The moderators from Slovenia were Blaž Zupan and Dejan Lavbič

and extensible data models that capture the fundamental characteristics of an entity in a context-neutral manner.’ The Core Person Vocabulary does so
‘capturing the fundamental characteristics’
Natural persons are one of the main actors in the GDPR: the data subjects
Core Vocabularies allow for their use in many different domains and so can address the GDPR needs of organisations operating in different domains: private or public sector
The GDPR incorporates a new right to data portability
to receive the information we have provided to an organisation ‘in a structured
commonly used and machine-readable format’
It also gives us the right to send that information to another organisation
and to ask the originating organisation to transmit our information to another one on our instructions
Core Person Vocabulary would address the requirements of the GDPR when answering data portability requests
they enable interoperable systems that facilitate the transmission of personal information as the right to data portability mandates in the GDPR
Expanding and developing this brief thought, in SEMIC we have developed a Study on the potential of Core Vocabularies to support the right to data portability under the GDPR
It examines the use and application of Core Vocabularies and
the Core Person Vocabulary as a potential enabler for the data portability right contained in the GDPR and how public administrations in the EU could comply with these provisions using them
This is but one example of the relationship between the GDPR and semantic modelling or metadata management; there are still plenty of options to explore regarding this relationship
I hope you find our contribution interesting and valuable
we are looking forward to your comments and insights on this and other aspects of data protection and semantic interoperability
Anticipating a significant market recovery in the second half of the year
Infineon is now about to increase its production capacity
the company manufactures power semiconductors in Villach (Austria) and Kulim (Malaysia)
the company now will gradually add manufacturing capacities by returning a 300mm production line to service in Dresden
This production line formerly was owned and operated by memory chip maker Qimonda which filed for insolvency a couple of years ago
Infineon bought the facility back and put into service again as a highly automated production line
The move will boost the company’s production capacity for power semiconductors to 40.000 waferstarts per week (in 200mm equivalents)
Even though Doctor Doom is one of Marvel’s most unique and intriguing characters
we’ve yet to see him properly brought to life on the big screen
With the Fantastic Four joining the MCU soon
let’s hope the ruler of Latveria doesn’t end up like his 2015 counterpart
we can always fill that void with Doctor Doom collectibles
This Dr. Doom statue is part of the aptly named Heritage Collection from Semic Studio
Victor’s likeness is based on the classic 1960s design that originated from the legendary Jack Kirby
That look comes in the form of a wide mask with prominent features (like the triangular nose and wide grimace) and
the signature green cloak and gun holster on his belt
Size-wise, the polystone statue isn’t as tall as I was expecting. Rather than being 12″ tall, Victor Von Doom only stands at 10.23″ in height based on the specs seen at the Big Bad Toy Store
if you want to own this guy and live in the States
then the BBTS will be your best option since Semic Studio is based overseas
Doom will run you $359.99 and is slated to arrive during the third quarter of 2023
The statue will be part of a minimal run of only 399 copies
so I cannot tell you much about the quality of their products
Doom is on the pricier side when it comes to collectibles on the same scale
I’d hope he’s a quality product
If you want to see Doom’s sculpture being done, check out Ficat’s Instagram page. We’ll link a few of the images from his posts below.

and will work with competent institutions in each field to build a foundation
It also plans to establish a system to support the entire cycle of defense semiconductor components
such as system semiconductor design and manufacturing
Semiconductors for the defense industry need high reliability and high performance as semiconductors used in weapons systems and have high entry barriers due to the nature of the defense industry
so it is urgent to develop localization technologies
President Yoon Suk Yeol also said at a debate on people's livelihoods held at Yeungnam University on the 20th
"We will create an R&D (R&D) demonstration center in Gumi for system semiconductor design verification in 2026
We will also expand facilities for manufacturing
and demonstrating semiconductor material parts to match the reputation of semiconductor specialized complexes."
Gumi City was designated as a high-tech semiconductor material parts specialization complex and a defense innovation cluster last year
and recently designated an opportunity development special zone
gaining momentum to build an ecosystem for high-tech industries
Gumi City plans to focus on industrial policies such as semiconductor complexes and material parts test and evaluation centers to foster the semiconductor material and parts equipment industry
Gumi City has been striving to find new growth engines such as discovering new industries that utilize the strengths of local industries
attracting investment from anchor companies
and fostering medium-sized and small companies

Society is becoming more networked and digitalised faster than ever before and increasingly relies on information and data and on the knowledge and services derived from them
The annual SEMIC conference in Finland brought together around two hundred experts interested in topics related to the semantic interoperability of information
The SEMIC conference is part of the European Commission's ISA² programme
which aims to improve cross-border digital cooperation
The 9th SEMIC conference showcased how information could be used more efficiently as a key competitiveness factor
“We have considerable information resources in our public administration
we can increase the value of knowledge capital and
we can develop better services for our citizens
and make administrative procedures more efficient and more transparent
That is why it is important to work together in unity in the EU to advance interoperability,” said Senior Adviser for Legislative Affairs and Head of Unit Sami Kivivasara
"The European Commission's Digital Agenda for Europe is also based on the premise that we must be able to make better use of information between the Member States
Besides closer cooperation between the Member States
the public and private sector also need to work together more closely”
Director General Gertrud Ingestad from the European Commission continued
open data is promoted actively and in a networked way
“Finland’s profile is that of a forerunner in digital public services and interoperability
We have been active in the ISA2 programme that promotes interoperability
International comparisons also show that we have made progress in opening up our data resources; in fact
high-quality data resources are one of Finland's strengths
so that the Member States can work together more closely
we need common practices and structures in the Member States and wider use of existing best practices,” Autere said
The conference was co-organised by the European Commission's ISA² programme and Finland
which holds the Presidency of the Council of the European Union until the end of the year

which used to be an unrivaled advanced country in the memory semiconductor field
The gap in DRAM technology between Korea and China is rapidly narrowing
and China's NAND flash manufacturing capabilities have reached almost the same level as Korea's
China has virtually turned around Korea in terms of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) technology
which is an essential component in the artificial intelligence (AI) era
A research team led by a Chinese studies professor at Hanyang University
analyzed the latest HBM research trends using the "Web of Science," an academic research database
Chinese academic institutions listed a total of 169 papers in the HBM sector
China has published 2.5 times more papers than Korea
Although Korea accounts for 90 percent of the global HBM market
it has been overtaken by China in basic research
"It means that China is accumulating more academic achievements than Korea in the core semiconductor field," and added
"Chinese chip companies including Changsin Memory (CXMT) will increase their HBM self-sufficiency rate to 70% by next year through mass production of HBM2." In fact
and Tung Fu Microelectronics have completed the development of HBM2
Tongfu Microelectronics has delivered HBM2 to Huawei
"The gap in memory technology between Korea and China is likely to narrow from the previous 10 years to less than a few years."
the CXMT share in the DRAM market was 5% last year
The absolute system of Samsung Electronics
TrendForce predicted that China's share in the memory market will account for 10.1% in the third quarter of this year
CXMT has developed memory DDR to DDR5 designed to speed up data transmission
the technology gap between Korea and China has been shortened to about three years
An official from a semiconductor company explained
"We can afford to take a breather due to the U.S
government's massive checks on semiconductors with China," but added
"China's pace of semiconductor technology development is so fast that we can never rest assured from years ago."
