Managing (Open) Data in Science
The evolution of media, the internet, especially social media and new policies and regulations are doing their part in making individuals, companies and public bodies increasingly aware of the growing importance of data management with respect to various topics, including data protection (see " GDPR"). Read more about how to manage (open) data in business on the European Data Portal. But not only businesses are focusing on data management. In the open science movement, data-management plans are now often required for research projects regardless of size or methodology. Researchers need to
Data management in business
Data management and data protection are getting more and more complex and increasingly important for businesses. Roles are created and shaped like the Chief Data Officer (CDO) and the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to allocate tasks and responsibilities around data management to ensure successful and compliant data processing. That is one reason why also the General data protection regulation (GDPR) demands the role of a Data Protection Officer (DPO) for selected organisations. The responsibility for data management in business initially emerged among regulated enterprises to watch over data
What is next for Public Sector Information (PSI) in Europe?
The PSI Alliance seeks an improved regulatory environment for private sector PSI reusers across Europe. In light of the revision of the PSI directive, the PSI Alliance will be asking representatives of EU institutions "What Next for PSI in Europe?" The alliance has a clear vision how to improve the environment for PSI reuse by providing PSI in suitable digital formats; in an appropriate timeframe; at marginal cost; without unfair competition; with proportionate privacy protection; with the possibility for redress. The PSI Alliance will be hosting a roundtable with speakers from the European
The Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency invites to open budget data
The Global Initiative for Fiscal Transparency (GIFT) is a global network that facilitates dialogue between governments, civil society organisations, international financial institutions and other stakeholders to find and share solutions to challenges in fiscal transparency. Guiding principles are advocacy and high-level dialogue, peer-learning and technical collaboration, research, and technology for participation. The GIFT Open Data tutorial showcases tools that enable the data opening process to contribute to a successful budget transparency policy. It provides practical guidance on topics
Copernicus for kids
Today's children will form the next generation of data literate citizens and professionals. Raising awareness and interest at a young age is therefore just as vital as enabling children to understand and manage data. At the same time the view of children on topics that can seem almost too complex to explain can be very refreshing: "Copernicus makes selfies of the Earth" describes a young pupil her understanding of the Copernicus programme. In order to coordinate the efforts aimed at integrating Copernicus into study programmes, the Copernicus Academy - a Copernicus network of educational
Amsterdam enhances the ethical Smart City
Being at the technological forefront and promoting and implementing ethical responsibility at the same time is a challenge. How to master that balance is shown by a few pioneers, implementing strategies and measures to address the challenges around data protection, anonymisation and data ownership. The recently published report from Nesta, as part of the involvement with an EU Horizon 2020 project, investigated and showcased existing efforts from pioneers in the field. As reported on the European Data Portal, Barcelona is one of the role models in the field. However, remarkable efforts worth
Barcelona enhances the ethical Smart City
The debate about ethical use of data in smart cities is getting louder. However, just a few pioneers are acting on it yet, implementing strategies and measures to address the challenges around data protection, anonymisation and data ownership. As reported before on the European Data Portal, the recently published report from Nesta, as part of the involvement with an EU Horizon 2020 project, investigated and showcased existing efforts from pioneers in the field, such as Barcelona. Barcelona Digital City launched a new digital transformation strategy with Francesca Bria, CTIO of Barcelona
European cities are restoring privacy and empowering citizens with data
With new Smart City initiatives, driven by innovative technologies like IoT, AI and edge computing, the debate on ethics and data goes hand in hand. Critical questions arise around topics such as data privacy, anonymisation and data ownership: How is private data protected? What are risks around opening anonymised data? Who owns and controls (personal) data? How can major IT players be regulated, and citizens empowered? While many cities are focusing on the potential of smart city solutions, fewer cities are actively working on answers to these questions. The recently published report from
Data visualisation reveals potential time savings
The report Creating value through Open Data already revealed that an enormous amount of time can be solved by making use of Open Data. Analysing and visualising data can support smart decision-making and increase life quality. Another initiative exemplifies and corroborates these findings. Eurographics published the project from Richard Roberts and his team that analysed and visualised anonymised data from call centres. With interactive analytical treemaps for visualisation of the call centre data, the team was able to reveal patterns of waiting time, abandoned calls, call duration and total
Two weeks to go to take part in the INSPIRE study and share your incentives/actions to lower 'obstacles' in sharing spatial data.
On 14 March 2007 the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union established an Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the European Community (INSPIRE). Since its entry into force, increasing amounts of spatial data have been published by public authorities, organisations, and non-public authorities. However, there are still conditions and limitations on the re-use of the public sector spatial data by public authority and third parties, restricting information sharing. To address this, the European Commission launched a study on the "Evaluation and assessment of INSPIRE
