#XMPP

XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) est un protocole ouvert et standardisé pour la messagerie instantanée et la présence en temps réel. Il est largement utilisé pour permettre la communication entre différents systèmes de messagerie et applications. Voici un aperçu détaillé de XMPP :Historique et OriginesXMPP a été initialement développé sous le nom de Jabber en 1999 par Jeremie Miller. Le projet Jabber visait à créer un système de messagerie instantanée […]

Technology Readiness Level of biodiversity monitoring with molecular methods – where are we on the road to routine implementation?

Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsTechnology Readiness Level of biodiversity monitoring with molecular methods – where are we on the road to routine implementation?Human activities are causing rapid biodiversity loss across ecosystems, affecting human well-being and crucial ecosystem services. Traditional biodiversity monitoring tools cannot keep up with the increasing demands of monitoring due to their limited spatial or temporal coverage, high costs, and lack of taxonomic expertise. Thus, implementation of novel molecular monitoring methods such as environmental DNA (eDNA) and DNA metabarcoding, are necessary. Molecular monitoring methods offer significant benefits for biodiversity monitoring and environmental assessment: high sensitivity and accuracy, non-invasive sampling, broad taxonomic range and cost and time efficiency. However, the diverse methodological approaches lead to poor comparability between studies and surveys, highlighting the need for standardised assessments. We used the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) framework to evaluate the maturity of molecular monitoring methods, providing a structured assessment of their readiness for routine use. In a systematic literature review, 420 articles fulfilling the study criteria were assessed and both individual studies and method categories ranked according to the TRL scale. The findings revealed a growing number of studies, particularly in aquatic environments, with most studies validating molecular technologies on a small scale but lacking large-scale system demonstrations. Aquatic eDNA-based methods targeting fish showed overall higher technology readiness compared to other sample types and taxa and applications of molecular monitoring methods ranked into the highest TRL were predominantly freshwater studies. Key barriers to the broader implementation of molecular methods to monitoring include the need for international standards, better quantitative estimates and comprehensive reference libraries. National and international cooperation is crucial for establishing common standards, ensuring reliable and comparable results and expediting the routine use of molecular methods in biodiversity monitoring. Recent efforts towards international standardisation are encouraging, but further coordinated actions are necessary for the global implementation and acceptance of these methods.

Nice paper in MBMG about eDNA methods standardisation

What is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it? by Theroux et al.
#Environmental #DNA #lab #accreditation #management #methods #standardisation #edna

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.

We signed a co-operation agreement with Deutsche Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN) yesterday. ✒

ℹ By cooperating, we want to strengthen the efficiency of the German science system and Germany's innovative strength in the long term. Joint info events, workshops and projects on the #standardisation of research data are planned.

My favourite simply-typed #functional #programming language was, is, and will always be, #ML#StandardML '97, nowadays.

To my knowledge, SML is the only modern #FP language that has a defined standard with a mathematically sound semantics, due to Milner et al.

In the 1980s and the 1990s, when the #CS and the #IT world were dizzy with #OO, the stewards of SML exercised their judgement with considerable vigour and valour to shun all pretences of OO. This makes the language simpler and lighter, compared to FP-OO hybrid languages like OCaml, F#, and the like.

While SML is by no means a simple language compared to say, C or Python or JavaScript, it is arguably the simplest among the descendants of ML, especially compared to modern Haskell. By "simple" I mean not only to use the language but also to teach it to the undergrad #CS students. ML's immense collection of textbooks and academic papers dating back to the early 1970s unburdens the teacher.

Yet, I usually recommend #OCaml to my clients who want to transition to FP, especially those clients whose "business" is creating large, robust, adaptable, maintainable software in science and engineering. My reasons are manifold, but the main one is that SML'97 is "dated", whereas OCaml is "modern" in all the venerable senses of that word.

Programming language #standardisation is a double-edge blade with a stiletto point. Without standardisation, the semantics of the language is squishy. After standardisation, the language is dead, unless the standard is kept up-to-date, like C, C++, JavaScript, etc. With or without standardisation, language longevity is hazardous, like the piercing point of a stiletto.

In any case, I feel like a traitor to my bloodline.🤦‍♂️

In regards to #YouTube, #Twitch and streaming services not being sustainable and major loss projects, how about we dump the major providers for a protocol and a standardised replicative data storage standard for use in local network hubs instead.

We could, if we wanted to, decentralise content delivery AND provide receipts for delivery, even authentication, as well as revenue sharing, by way of protocol rather than as a centralised service.

We NEED #standardisation .

Tomorrow we'll host a webinar on the GNU Name System (GNS) and the road to publishing an RFC.

Thursday Feb 22, 13.00 CET.

GNS provides a privacy-enhancing alternative to the Domain Name System. It was published as an #rfc. RFC authors Martin Schanzenbach & Bernd Fix will explain GNS and how the RFC process works.
Stephen Farrell advises on working with #standardisation bodies.
The #webinar is open to all. You can find the link to the BBB platform here: nlnet.nl/webinars/

Join the #webinar on the GNU Name System (GNS) and the road to publishing an RFC.
GNS is a decentralized and censorship-resistant domain name resolution protocol providing an alternative to DNS. In 2023 the GNS was published as RFC 9498. The authors of the #RFC Martin Schanzenbach & Bernd Fix will talk about GNS & the road to published an RFC.
Stephen Farrell of Tolerant Networks will talk about getting advice with #standardisation processes.
