• Open data – a means of data sharing


• The role of data portals
• Different data – different tools
• Open data portals (Solutions and standards)
• Urban data platforms (Solution and standards)
Different types of urban data
• Public sector data • Static data sets
• Private sector data • Periodic data dumps
• Research data • Real time data streams
• Personal data
• Geo spatial data • File based access
• Open data • API based access
• Commercially available data
• Crowd sourced data
• Closed data
Open data
Open data is data that can be freely used, re-used and redistributed by anyone -
subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.

Stars Principle
• Publishing open data requires * Make your stuff available on the

• Choosing an appropriate open data license open licence
• Ensuring the quality of open data. ** Make it available as structured data
(e.g. Excel instead of image scan or
• Ensuring discoverability of open data PDF)
*** Use non-proprietary formats (e.g.
CSV instead of Excel)
**** Use URIs to denote things, so that
people can point at your stuff
***** Link your data to other data to
provide context
Open data by domain
The role of open data portals

• They are like website content management


systems providing tools to streamline publishing,
sharing, finding and using data
Benefits of using an open data portal

• Streamlined way to make your data discoverable and presentable


• User interfaces for simple data publication and management
• Each dataset is given its own page with a rich set of meta-data
• Data store and file store infrastructure
• Provides google like search and discovery over metadata/tags
• Offers plugins for visualising data
• Support API based access to data
• Supports federation with other data portals
Popular open data portals (open source)
CKAN (used by 200+ orgs) DKAN (used by nearly 100 orgs)
Setting up an open data portal such as CKAN

Basic steps
• Setting up a server (e.g. on AWS)

From static to real time urban data

• Moving from documents to APIs and


time series data

• Open data portals can link to APIs


• Real time extension for portals such
as CKAN exist but not optimal

• Urban data platforms emerge as


alternatives – exposing city data
lakes
Example: IoT applications
Example: London data store evolution
Urban data platforms and emerging ecosystems

Open source building blocks for


urban data/service platforms

NGSI-LD as standard for context


information management

Smart city data models


Urban data exchange (UDX)

• Developed as part of the EU


SynchroniCity project

• Allows sharing real time


urban data across cities
• Data onboarding
• Data standardisation
• Data discovery
