Smart Emission project
Smart Emission project is a research project executed by a consortium of Dutch knowledge institutes, government, (ICT- and sensor) companies together with citizens in the city of Nijmegen. The goal of this project is to monitor, visualize and communicate a real-time, fine grained “environmental footprint” of the city. For that reason, a set of outdoor sensors and a related Open Geo Data infrastructure were developed. Also, a participatory process is organised to collaborate with citizens and professionals. The researchers aim to answer the following research questions: Do low-cost sensors add

Government open data
The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the importance of the idea of ‘e-governance’ including open data platforms. However, maintaining the open data platforms has remained mainly a manual process. Governments now often need to update, track, monitor, analyse and present data in real-time. This can be a challenge when most of the data entry and report preparation is done manually. As a result, there are inconsistencies and contentions to reported numbers that reach the media. The pandemic and its consequent crisis have uncovered and highlighted this issue more than anything else in the past. When

EDP user survey
The European Data Portal (EDP) team launched a user experience evaluation survey to collect feedback from its users. The EDP wants to collect the opinion of users in order to take it into account for improving the user experience, content, functions and engagement to better meet the needs and wishes of our users in the future. The survey gives users the opportunity to raise their voices. The questions address the user experience on multiple categories: general experience content functions engagement. We encourage you to participate in the survey that takes only five minutes and take part in

AI and Quality of Data
Data scientists spend approximately 80 percent of their time on cleaning and preparing data to make it usable, leaving them with just 20 percent of their time to focus on data analysis. As policymakers pursue national strategies to increase their competitiveness in Artificial Intelligence (AI), they should recognize that any country that wants to lead in AI must also lead in data quality. In our previous news piece on ‘ the rise of AI and open data’, we discussed that data is the lifeblood of AI as data provides the information necessary to form algorithms. Therefore, policymakers should view

Guggenheim Bilbao
The Guggenheim Bilbao provides a website and social media channel to bring the collection of the museum online and to connect with artists and art enthusiasts. The Guggenheim Bilbao posts videos and high-resolution images of art works on social media - with the hashtag #guggenheimbilbaolive - and on the website through the Google Arts & Culture platform with street view. The museum also provides a community forum through Facebook, Twitter and Google. While the Guggenheim Bilbao Museum has been closed to visitors during the pandemic, staff members have continued to work internally in order to

Open space data and space exploration
Open space datasets have been growing in numbers due to falling costs of (data gained from) satellites since the last three years. The launch costs of satellites is declining and the capacity of satellites (Gbps to Tbps) has increased during the past years. More organisations and businesses now have access to a satellite and (open) data from satellites. Global events show the possibilities of open space data as the interest of the international public and private organisations is growing. For example, the United Nations (UN) organises a yearly World Space Week in October. Last year, the UN

Open data on effectiveness of lockdowns
As the lockdowns are slowly lifted across Europe, policymakers and researchers focus their attention on the effectiveness of the different government measures during the lockdowns to improve effectiveness of policies. Often the effectiveness cannot be measured directly, but indicators (gained with open data) can shine light on the impact of different policies. Open data fills a knowledge gap as it can provide an indication of the effectiveness of different lockdown measures by comparing different data variables across countries in Europe. For example, the researchers at the University of

Open data on the European labour market
Open data on the job market is important for policy and decision-making purposes to ensure Europe’s competitiveness and that the skills of the workforce meet demand. When working on data-driven solutions, the European Commission’s big data test infrastructure (BDTI) helps public administrations to experiment with real data before starting system development. Extracting data from online job advertisements requires converting the digital footprint left by companies in the online labour market into relevant statistical variables. The two types of data collected are: Structured data: Job location
