A local initiative in England opens up data for residents and businesses
Barking and Dagenham asked residents what they like about their borough and got over 3,000 responses collected in the new Borough Manifesto. Together with Future Cities Catapult (FCC), an innovation lab in London, the borough is using a digital connector combining the datasets of the boroughs manifest to a digital index. Based on the index, the digital connector allows to track and visualise the borough's progress towards their goals for all to see. "It's not solely designed to be an Open Data platform - it's taking the conversation we've had with residents, but then plugging that data into

Big Data, Internet of Things and cybersecurity for SMEs
With the rise of new technologies many employees need to upgrade their digital skills. That especially counts for Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), who compose 95% of the European economy. Many SMEs and start-ups provide or use digital solutions that require specialised skills. To strategize measures for skill development and support countries in the implementation, insights about the level of skills regarding new technologies is needed. By defining a status quo, skill gaps and the development progress can be monitored and analysed. Therefore, the survey "Big Data, Internet of Things

Europe moves towards a common metadata language
The multitude of data platforms and the lack of common semantics resulted in a fragmented landscape of Open Data portals. To improve the metadata exchange and to reduce duplications and inconsistencies a number of standardisation and metadata harmonisation efforts have been undertaken. Using DCAT Application profile (DCAT-AP), portals with different descriptions of metadata can adhere to a common metadata language increasing the discovery of datasets. DCAT-AP is a specification based on W3C's Data Catalogue vocabulary (DCAT) for describing metadata of public sector datasets in Europe. The DCAT
