8. We are NOT a funder, incubator
or accelerator!
Our aim is to work with these
organisations, not duplicate
To unlock proprietary data in
faster, better and more trusted ways
Our Mission
9. Our focus is on the Data Value Chain
How We Do This
10. Data From
Internet of
Things devices
Personal Data
Data with
ownership
rights
Closed
Organizational
Data
Where “our” data come from? 10
11. Pit Stops
Hands-on help with specific issues around growth and scaling from
our network of high-calibre experts
Intense experience over two days
10-30 growing companies, deep technical experts, academics and
students, larger corporates
Co-creation workshop
Bring together relevant stakeholders to identify
problems, better scope them, design solutions
13. What Open Innovation is?
• Advance internal technology by
• Using internal and external ideas, paths to market
• Sharing risk and reward
• Buying external invention
• Licensing inventions not being used
• Advantages
• Reduced cost of R&D
• Potential improvement in development
• Early-stage incorporation of customers
• Disadvantages
• Potential to lose competiveness by revealing intellectual property
• Increased complexity in controlling innovation
13
14. Models for Open Innovation
• Product platforming
• Developing and introducing a partially completed product
• Call for contributors to extend the platform and its value (SDK, APIs)
• Collaborative product design and development
• Incorporates contributors into the development cycle (e.g., co-creation workshop)
• Controlling and maintaining the product development
• Customer immersion
• Advance product presentation to customers
• Collection of customer inputs and their involvement in the design process
• Ideas competitions
• Access innovative ideas and understand customers and contributors needs
• Rewards to encourage competiveness among contributors (e.g., hackathon)
• Innovation networks
• Leverage networks of experts to develop solutions to identified problems
14
15. Open Innovation at Digital Catapult
• Product development
• Minimum Viable Product (MVP): product with the highest ROI
• Minimum set of features to allow platform deployment
• Feedback from early adopters, to avoid build products customers do not want
• Platforms and their aim
• Develop new ideas (Copyright Hub)
• Develop new business (Data Catalyser)
• Seek new ideas (Environmental Data Exchange, Nwave IoT radio testbed)
• Ways to engage
• Open calls (EuroCPS, Trusted Data Cloud)
• Networks growing (Personal Data and Trust Network)
• Initiatives launch (Trust Framework Initiative)

Hub
-‐
Overview
An industry forum and technology platform providing services to enable
digital data exchange, connecting users to rights owners and reducing
licensing friction
• Reducing licensing barriers & opening up new markets whilst not interfering with existing business
models
• Automating low value / high volume transactions - promoting digital data use & greater creator
control
• Not for profit – specifically designed to create new ecosystems and business models
• Open internet-focused and built on open source technologies
• Culture, language and licensing regime agnostic – adaptable to specific needs whilst remaining
interoperable
• Business model / payment mechanism agnostic – will interface with whatever model and services
the rights owner uses
• Licence-type agnostic – determined by the rights owner, not the Hub
18
19. Copyright
Hub
-‐
Tech
• Enabling the identification of data wherever it is found
• Enabling the query of existing and new repositories of rights
information using a common rights format based on the work
of the Linked Content Coalition
• Provision of an index of identifiers, resolvable to existing
identifiers
• Provision of repository services, linked to existing rights owner
databases
• Provision of identifiers to identify transactions that have taken
place on content.

Feature
Road
Map
• Copyright Hub still in core development stage but moving quickly to live release of use cases and
market -facing functionality
• We are very open to new partners keen to explore the Hub and the value to their business
• Q2 2015 sees first live use case released focused on images with other content types including music
to be released throughout the year.
• Q1 2016 target to open source the Copyright Hub code using industry standard SW licensing models
20
21. Copyright Hub – Demo
• Search for “copyrightclickhub” images on Google search
• Pick an image and follow the link
• Explore the available license and acquire the content (by selecting the CH icon)
• HINT: the 3rd (ugly) one is for free; the cool ones you need to pay (don’t do it now J)
• Want a better user experience?
• Try the same using Chrome browser and the Copyright Hub plug in
• Now you can do the same using the “right button click”
• How this can be embedded in your website
• Java Script libraries are available to annotate and link your images to the CH
• http://www.i-publishingconsultants.com
21
22. Copyright Hub for Developers
• Developer.copyrighthub.org
• Available APIs
• Account Service:
• To register as a new organization and to register new services and users
• Onboarding Service:
• To upload rights data about copyright works in CSV or JSON format
• Query Service:
• To query for license and right controller for copyright work
22
23. Copyright Hub and IoT
• The problem
• The amount of content/data generated from devices is growing rapidly however:
• No consistent way exists of identifying the producer of the content/data
• No simple way exists for the producer of content/data to assert their ownership rights
• Validating the provenance of any content/data can be very hard
• The solution:
• A HW originated Globally Unique Identifier embedded securely into the asset at the point of
creation which will travel with the asset:
• Using a simple library included in the chip (e.g., ARM silicon)
• Identifiers that are created are compatible with the Copyright Hub’s Rights Ecosystem
23
24. End-points can interrogate the
Copyright Hub, in order to
discover the rights associated
with the asset
• A Global Unique Identifier* is
attached
• A link is made to a repository where
the Digital Rights can be processed
• Repository and rights can be
managed by the user
• The asset may or may not be
Digitally watermarked, this could be
embedded
• The identifier will
ideally travel with
the asset, but if
stripped,
processes such
as finger-printing
and recognition
can be used to
recognise it

*NB the ‘identifier' is not a cryptographic entity
How
it
could
work
Example 1. – Creative Content
24
25. 2
How
it
could
work
Example 2. – Control of shared personal data generated by IoT
devices
• As personal data is shared around the IoT
ecosystem identifiers travel with the data
that allow;
– Control of all or some aspects of the
content
– Who is allowed to view that data
– What it is allowed to be used for
– How long the data is valid for, or allowed
to be kept
– Auditability of the acquisition path
?
25
27. Why Closed Data?
80%
Closed data has huge potential value
The challenge is how to unlock it
of data is closed corporate or
personal data
28. The challenge
• All organisations create huge volumes of data as part of their operations
• Primary value well understood: secondary or tertiary value usually not known
or realised
• Privacy & other commercial concerns mean data is rarely shared
• Huge amount of potential value untapped
• A lack of trust in platforms to securely mix data
• Limited neutral parties to facilitate engagement
• Trouble finding the right talent in the industry to generate innovative insight
29. The Data Catalyser is a suite of services enabling organisations to create value from
mixing closed datasets

The Platform
42. The Datasets
• Over 500 datasets posted so far
• Open datasets: direct download, or accessible through APIs
• Closed datasets: required negotiation with the owner (info are provided by EDx)
• Datasets metadata (to be provided on registration)
• Search term
• Map based
• Data type
• License type
• Data publisher
• Data owner
• Rating level
• Number of uses
• Examples (available as CSV):
• London air pollution: The dataset shows which Index level each reading falls in, and contains charts showing pollutant levels
by time of day per month
• Historical monthly data for meteorological stations: Monthly Historical information for 37 UK Meteorological Stations. Most go
back to the early 1900s, but some go back as far as 1853
• Bristol river water quality: River quality monitoring data (chemical, physical and bacteriological parameters tested) from 1994
43. Place Diggers – Dig Before you decide – an app that would allow buyers to review their area before
buying focusing on air quality, quality of green space and land contamination.
Eco League – Focusing on business being wasteful (£23 billion could be saved by UK businesses in one
year” Defra – but there is little transparency around waste. They developed a solution that would create a
league table celebrating the best and shaming the worst companies regarding company waste.
Gaming for Environmental Awareness – New Castle University – using the data from the platform they
developed a game that would take from surrounding locations and making people aware of environmental
data and concerns in the areas.
Insight DX – was focused on making it easier to find relevant environmental data and integrating an API
to allow people to integrate and use data on a daily basis.
Open for business - A multi-sided platform that brings together open data, industry data and proprietary
firm level data to help firms become more environmentally and socially sustainable:
Smog Dodgers - Air pollution causes 29,000 premature deaths every year in the UK – but individuals
aren’t able to easily measure their personal exposure to pollution – Polly the app they developed using the
Environmental Data Exchange Data – alerts and measures the pollution in the area.
Bees Knees – Bee population is in serious decline 26% of the bee population remains under threat –
developed an app using the data exchange that allows people to realise how they can help and support
bees as well as understand more about the bee population.

65. Personal Data and Trust Network
http://www.digitalcatapultcentre.org.uk/personal-data-and-trust-network/
66. PDTN: The Rationale
• The next growth of the Internet is likely to rely on the successful
generation and management of personal data. High levels of trust and
confidence in these data are a pre-requisite for successful new
services, which have both huge economic and social potential
• The Personal Data and Trust Network, building on world-class
research and business insight, will help organisations to develop the
next-generation of personal data management, giving the UK clear
advantages for consumers and citizens
68. PDTN: The Benefits
• Corporate benefits:
• Access to potential innovation partners
• Supports corporate open innovation programmes
• Gain insight to evolving market trends, capabilities and opportunities
• Visibility of academic research & innovation
• SME benefits
• Opportunity to meet and work with potential customers
• Opportunities to meet other innovation partners to further differentiate your product
• Visibility of and contribution to, cutting edge thinking
• Identification of commercially important problems
• Academic benefits
• Problem definition of commercially important problems

68
69. PDTN: The Structure
• Over 500 members so far
• 9 core groups
• Oxford Area
• Health and Social Care
• Design
• Legal and Regulation
• Social Innovation
• Digital ID
• Corporate Transformation
• PIM
• Economics
• We raise questions, trigger discussions, organize round-table, make
impact
69
71. Personal Data sharing: The Opportunities 71
• Data are currently silo’d – Generated and exploited vertically
• More horizontal opportunities are possible
For example:
• Mobile phone data to alert social
care if patient is unexpectedly idle
• Shopping data maybe used to
inform healthcare advice
• Band data to inform of retail
offers e.g. “bought broadband 12
months ago… so”
72. Personal Data sharing: The Barriers
Building Trust: Need to empower the customer:
Ethics: Recognize & respect the consumer’s
whishes
Control: Give tools/dashboards to enable real control
Compliance: Verify orgs are sticking to rules
Communication: Kitemark to show whose in the
ethical sharing club
Remove Friction: Need to solve three sources of friction:
Technical: How to define and physically
transfer the data
Legal: How to establish the users identity and assert
permission within each silo’d system
Commercial: How to agree the price of access/
transfer
73. TFI: The “Collaborative” Approach 73
