Smart City. A Brief History of Open Data. Data is currently in the spotlight, be it open data or big data.
It is important to consider these two types separately, even if they share a common object: data. Big data focuses primarily on the possibilities offered by exploiting a volume of data in exponential growth. Whereas with open data, the creation of value depends on the ability to share data, to make it available to third parties, rather than on sheer volume. Open data responds to a set of technical, economic and legal criteria: it must be freely available online, under a format that allows re-use.
The term open data appeared for the first time in 1995, in a document from an American scientific agency. The idea of common good applied to knowledge had already been theorized, well before the invention of the Internet. Information technologies have also given a new breath to this philosophy of commons. Long before being a technical object or political movement, open data was rooted in the praxis of the scientific community.

What are ‘Dublin City Beta Projects’? [Version 4.0 - Update 21/03/14] Dublin City Council Beta Projects is a better way for trialling new ideas in Dublin.
It aims to encourage, support, and facilitate City Council staff to be able to experiment and innovate. It’s aiming to try to establish a single, standard system for staff to use whether trialling things as diverse as a new website, or a new type of street light, or a new policy around street art – a standard set of tools and approaches for staff to use. It might be summarised as something like the following… The promises of open data and the same old conflicts. The open data movement is a worldwide growing trend and has become a global phenomenon setting a new agenda on access and public services delivery.
Its impact on the way we build community life is undeniable, too. A hot topic crossing the borders of the first advocates and early adopters. It has become one of the issues of the day. Big Data. Overview Big Data, a highly innovative, open access peer-reviewed journal, provides a unique forum for world-class research exploring the challenges and opportunities in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating vast amounts of data, including data science, big data infrastructure and analytics, and pervasive computing.
The Journal addresses questions surrounding this powerful and growing field of data science and facilitates the efforts of researchers, business managers, analysts, developers, data scientists, physicists, statisticians, infrastructure developers, academics, and policymakers to improve operations, profitability, and communications within their businesses and institutions. Big Data coverage includes: Ecosistema de reutilización de datos públicos (Open Data) Cleanweb Worldwide. What is the Cleanweb?
The revolutionary growth in mobile, social, sensors, processing power, big data analytics, and other information technologies is creating powerful new opportunities to address the world's critical resource challenges. Individuals and organizations around the world are leveraging this web of technologies in incredibly innovative ways to optimize how we use resources across the way we live, work, and play. Capital efficient, quick-to-market, IT-based solutions are already helping to drive smarter, more efficient energy use, enable the sharing economy, accelerate the adoption of clean technologies, and spread more sustainable behaviors globally. And just as information technology itself, the Cleanweb will continue to evolve in ways we can't even imagine yet.

Modelo LUDO: el gobierno abierto desde la perspectiva del ciclo de las políticas públicas. .: Smartcity Jaén :. Ten Principles for Opening Up Government Information. Available as PDF here.
August 11, 2010 In October 2007, 30 open government advocates met in Sebastopol, California to discuss how government could open up electronically-stored government data for public use. Up until that point, the federal and state governments had made some data available to the public, usually inconsistently and incompletely, which had whetted the advocates' appetites for more and better data. The conference, led by Carl Malamud and Tim O'Reilly and funded by a grant from the Sunlight Foundation, resulted in eight principles that, if implemented, would empower the public's use of government-held data. We have updated and expanded upon the Sebastopol list and identified ten principles that provide a lens to evaluate the extent to which government data is open and accessible to the public. 1.

Cities are powerful engines of economic growth, fuelled by intensive interpersonal communication and high concentrations of specialized skills. However, urbanization’s correlation with economic growth is mirrored by significant sustainability challenges, with cities today accounting for over 70 per cent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 60-80 per cent of global energy consumption.
Given that an estimated 70 per cent of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, sustainable urbanization has become a key policy point to administrations across the world. Here ICTs have a crucial role to play by increasing environmental efficiency across industry sectors and enabling innovations such as intelligent transport systems (ITS), ‘smart’ water, energy and waste management.

Having been in the smart cities arena for the past five years (before it was called smart cities) and being an active Twitter user, I have discovered several important people and organizations who are providing and sharing important insights regarding innovative projects, key startups and multinationals and future directions for the smart city movement.
Smartcitieshub.com and our monthly #smartchat discussions represent attempts to grow the dialog amongst urban professionals and other interested parties around the globe, leveraging social media tools. It seems only logical that I would share with the community the Twitter voices I feel are helping to lead the online dialog and to guide cities on their smart city journey. Obviously it is difficult to narrow the list down with dozens of leading voices out there. My subjective criteria for selection included: quantity, quality and relevance. CITI-SENSE > Home.

Geoffrey West: Las sorprendentes matemáticas de las ciudades y las corporaciones. IOTA: Internet-of-Things Academy. IoTA's development was part of Sony's FutureScapes project, a foresight initative organised and produced in collaboration with London-based sustainable development group Forum for the Future. Superflux began contributing to the project in September 2011, with Anab attending a series of workshops which the FutureScapes team had organised to bring together a group of contributors from business, environmental advocacy, strategy and design. Building on conversations and groupwork from these initial sessions, Sony and Forum for the Future worked to detail and populate a set of four scenarios for the world of 2025 – focusing on key issues around sustainability, technology, and innovation.Collaborating closely with Forum for the Future's Hugh Knowles, alongside others, we were asked to turn our attentions to the 'Shared Ownership', one of the four scenarios that emerged from these workshops.

Complex event processing, Apache Hadoop metadata management, scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and front-end analytics are among the methods that can render Big Data-as-a-Service (BDaaS).
What is Big Data? The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. H.P. Ited Nations Statistics Division - UN Statistical Commission. 14 March 2013 The theme of this year’s Friday Seminar on Emerging Issues is: “Big Data for Policy, Development and Official Statistics”. The advent of the Internet, mobile devices and other technologies has caused a fundamental change to the nature of data.
Big Data has important, distinct qualities that differentiate it from “traditional” institutional data, in particular the timeliness of the data. If governments wanted to, they could already let Big Data (and the private sector) play a role in providing information on topics that are currently under the purview of national statistical offices. Should these NSOs change their business operations to take on the opportunities of using Big Data for official government purposes? Home-PEOPLE Smart Cities. Los 'smartphones', llave de acceso a las ciudades inteligentes. La vicepresidenta de la Red Española de Ciudades Inteligentes (RECI), Concepción Gamarra, ha asegurado hoy que los 'smartphones' son la llave de acceso a las denominadas ciudades inteligentes. Las aplicaciones móviles (apps), por su parte, son las herramientas con las que las corporaciones locales pueden canalizar sus servicios hacia la ciudadanía y desarrollar sus estrategias más innovadoras para convertirse en una auténtica 'smart city'.
Untitled. NYC Can Reduce Its Carbon Footprint 90% By 2050 The greatest obstacle to a responsible approach to climate change mitigation is a sense that the problem is insoluble. Urban Green Council’s latest research report, 90 by 50, demonstrates that the emission reductions required are in fact possible using technologies that are known and in almost all cases currently available, and that the cost is manageable from a citywide perspective.
New York City has undertaken many greenhouse gas reduction programs to serve the plaNYC goal of reducing the city’s emissions 30 percent by 2030. ¿Realmente avanzamos hacia ciudades más inteligentes? - Medio Ambiente.

Future Cities Special Interest Group - Feasibility Studies - Open Innovation. Thirty councils have been selected to carry out feasibility studies for the Future Cities Demonstrator Programme over the coming months. The thirty councils will receive £50,000 each from the government's innovation agency, the Technology Strategy Board (www.innovateuk.org) to complete feasibility studies showing how they could integrate their transport, communications and other infrastructure to improve the local economy, increase quality of life and reduce impact on the environment. The cities that have completed the feasibility studies will also be able to submit a proposal for a large-scale 'future cities demonstrator', showing how the city's multiple systems will be integrated and how challenges in the city will be addressed - and one successful city will be awarded £24m funding to implement their proposal. The Future Cities Special Interest Group will be working with the selected councils to facilitate introductions.
