Et si la donnée profitait aussi aux citoyens français ? - #Ankaa

Et si la donnée profitait aussi aux citoyens français ? Ouverture des données publiques et collaboration avec des entreprises privées, oui mais au bénéfice de qui ? De l’économie uniquement ? Et pourquoi pas des citoyens, mais à condition pour les acteurs privés d’intégrer l’intérêt général à des services aux finalités individuelles... https://ankaa-pmo.com/et-si-la-donnee-profitait-aussi-aux-citoyens-francais/ #Actualités__Informatique #Débat #Débats #Gestion_De_Données #Open_Data #Politique

Open Data Strategies of Real-Time Cities, 2017 - Research and Markets

Check out the latest post http://thenewsrabbit.com/open-data-strategies-of-real-time-cities-2017-research-and-markets/

DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Open Data Strategies of Real-time Cities” report has been added to Research and Markets’ offering.

This market insight is part of the Real-time Cities Research Program. In recent years, it has become evident that cities see an opportunity to stimulate economic growth by opening up their substantial sources of data to digital services innovators. To become true real-time cities, they strive to do more than simply publish existing information online.

Differentiation lies in the foundations they put down in terms of data strategy, governance structures, and partnerships. Historically, the city of Moscow’s smart city initiatives have received only moderate recognition. However, this is changing. Having attracted significant attention over the last couple of years, the Russian capital is establishing itself as a ‘must’ on the watch-lists of smart city observers, thanks to ingenuity and commitment.

Key Topics Covered:

1. Key Takeaways

2. Research Background

3. Study Objectives

Scope-Moscow-focused Study as Part of a Wider European Program

Research Methodology

4. City Situation

What to do when you have bad realtime train position data from the railways company ? Plant cameras along the tracks and use image recognition to discriminate trains and refine arrival predictions: ▻http://svds.com/tensorflow-image-recognition-raspberry-pi

And what did they use for training data ? Trains, of course.

"we are working on a different project" - DP.LA

Dan Cohen is the Founding Executive Director of the DPLA, where he works to further the DPLA’s mission to make the cultural and scientific heritage of humanity available, free of charge, to all.  TAGS and ANSWERS with Dan Cohen on Heti Attila.

#PARTNERSHIP There are currently about 15 general partners--that is, content and service hubs. Content hubs have considerable materials themselves, and service hubs aggregate content from hundreds of smaller libraries, archives, and museums. When you factor in those institutions, the number of partners runs into the hundreds. We are already in talks with many other potential content and service hubs across the country. 

#OWN CONTENT Not right now. This might be a feature in the future, but we need to come up with a system to handle any crowdsourced process, and right now the DPLA organization is relatively small.  #WORK By this summer there will be six people working at DPLA, with many others contributing skills, knowledge, and other important elements from outside of the organization.  #OPEN DATA Part of the reason we have an API and fully open data is that we cannot fully anticipate what developers will build on top of the DPLA. We hope to be surprised, and undoubtedly will be. Obviously there are some areas that developers will clearly explore--for instance, geolocated history. #EUROPEANA It presents the opportunity to begin to stitch together a global digital library, since we share a data model and are both very interested in seeing what we can do together. Indeed, we launched with a collaborative exhibit on emigration from Europe to the US. #GOOGLE Our hats are off to Google for what they have accomplished with their Google Books program. Clearly we are working on a different project; right now we do have many books but we have also have millions of cultural heritage artifacts that Google does not have. We are looking to build something more comprehensive, more networked (rather than holding the scans ourselves like Google, we point to our partners), and more open.

연구를 위한  오픈액세스 인프라 (유럽)

THE OPENAIRE2020 PROJECT

(Open Access Infrastructure for Research in Europe)

이 프로젝트는 지난 2015년 1월 1일부터 유럽의회의 지원을 받아 42개월동안(약 5년간) 진행되는 프로젝트 이다. 목적은 유럽지역에 발표되거나 작성된 open access 학술자원을 검색 및 트랙킹이 쉽게 하여, 연구에 사용되기 용이하도록 인프라를 구축하는 것. 현재는 ver2. 의 OPENAIRE plus를 진행중이다. 아래는 간략한 프로젝트 개요. 

Project n°: 643410 Project type: Research and Innnovation Start date: 01/01/2015 Duration: 42 months Total budget: 13 132 500 € (4 mi are targeted towards the FP7 post grant gold OA pilot) Funding from the EC: 13 000 000 €

Problem: vielerorts ist selbst in Behörden nicht bekannt, welche Daten überhaupt vorhanden sind – man denkt in Akten, nicht in Daten (Anmerkung: der gesamte Aktionsplan Open Data meint mit Open Data nicht etwa die Offenlegung von Public Sector Information – die sehr wohl auch alle Arten Berichte, Akten, Gutachten, Protokolle etc. mitmeint, sondern ausschließlich Rohdaten in Form nackter Zahlen)

Das dürfte tatsächlich eines der Hauptprobleme sein, so blöd es auch klingen mag.

Making 'Linked Open Data' easy to understand is no mean feat, but they've somehow managed it in this Europeana video.

After delivering his address at the annual United Nations General Assembly meeting last week, President Obama dropped a tidbit of interest for open data advocates: he promised to produce an open source policy by the end of 2015.

La donnée mange le monde et la France passe à table - #Ankaa

La donnée mange le monde et la France passe à table La donnée, c’est bon, mangez-en ! Ce pourrait être le slogan de la France et de l’Etat plateforme, avec des données publiques qui circulent et se combinent à d’autres données. Et cette ouverture peut être un levier face aux GAFA, à condition de trouver un juste équilibre.

This paper presents Open Data Kit (ODK), an extensible, open-source suite of tools designed to build information services for developing regions. ODK currently provides four tools to this end: Collect, Aggregate, Voice, and Build. Collect is a mobile platform that renders application logic and supports the manipulation of data. Aggregate provides a “click-to-deploy” server that supports data storage and transfer in the “cloud” or on local servers. Voice renders application logic using phone prompts that users respond to with keypad presses.
