Editor's Notes
- Good Morning to everybody. I am Lorenzino Vaccari, of the Autnomous Province of Trento, responsible for the Open Data Project I am very pleasured to present you our experience on the publication of the Open data for our territory which is part of the Digital City Vision of TrentoRise and the Autonomous Province of Trento.
- Following the syntetic definition given by the Open Knowledge Foundation, Open Data is data that can be FRELY USED, REUSED AND REDISTRIBUTED BY ANYONE. There’s only at most the requirements of attribution and sharealike. To put in place this definition Open Data must have some basic characteristics : They have to be published with open licenses: everyone can use data with no limitations. The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the work either on its own or as part of a package made from works from many different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale or distribution. The license may require as a condition for redistribution and re-use the attribution of the contributors and creators to the work. Published with open formats and open web protocols. The work must be provided in such a form that there are no technological obstacles to the performance of the above activities. This can be achieved by the provision of the work in an open data format. Free, The work shall be available as a whole and at no more than a reasonable reproduction cost, preferably downloading via the Internet without charge. The work must also be available in a convenient and modifiable form.
- Why Open data are important for digital cities? Open data power Digital cities: Intelligent towns will focus on existing resources and infrastructure, only better, faster and more effectually: they will leverage all the information and the technologies at hand into advanced analytics, innovative solutions and Open Data platforms. Regarding the Open Data platform, city governments have a big amount of information to support the change they need. Moreover, the open data contest is much broader than just data related to the government: also citizens, utility companies and private companies can share their information with governments Open Data Benefits are very important because thoruogh them we can: Improve the economic grow and the entrepreneurship based on the development of digital services reusing Public Sector Information Answer to social needs through the publication of innovative services and applications Reduce the cost of the public administrative activities within Public – Private Partnerships (PPP) Improve the transparency of the activities of the public institutions and the participation of the citizens to these activities
- To manage the changement and the publication of the open data of our territory we have implemented the 3 Years “Open Data in Trentino project”. This project has developed within a partnership between the Autnomous Province of Trento and TrentoRise, according to the innovation model put in place by he Autonomous Province of Trento. The main goal of the project is to define and implement the steps and the architecture to: Enhance the availability and reuse of the public sector information (PSI) through the definition of guidelines, open formats, licenses, and so on Release an open data platform based on open source technology which enables service innovation for citizens, businesses and government, enforcing the economic growth of Trentino To define a semantic layer to let the user for searching well identified object (such as persons, organizations, locations, events, and other artifacts following the linked data principles) and to Promote the integration with the Big Data and Smart Campus projects to enhance the scalability of data and services publication, access and reuse To implement the 5 stars model proposed by Tim David to perform the Data Engagement Model thorugh dissemination and open data contest events Improve and drive the PAT digital and organizational change through the use of well known Open Data practices With our open data initiative we have released more than 550 data-sets available and downloadable in open formats. Our staff comprises people from different fields and with different skills. Our approach is innovative for this reason represents in Italy an excellence.
- The project architecture is based on different interconnected modules each of them related to specific activities which regards: The collection and gather of data from different and heterogenous resources such as geographical and statistical datasets, weather forecast datasets, mobility datasets and so on.. The transformation and harvesting layer to publish the datasets in a convenient and open format when necessary The Open source Open Data catalog (we adopted the platform proposed by the Open Knowledge foundation), which is used internationally by the United States, United Kingdom and by the European Commission The semantic layer which will implement a remodelled view of the entire knoledge base proposed by the data sources The service layer which will implement apps and web services mainly based on open Data Plus other trasversal modules regarding the legal issues (especially for the privacy and IPR issues), the organizational module which regards the change management we need to implement to publish our information by using the open data paradigm The community part which disseminates, connects and align the project to the open data communities at local, national and international level And of course a module which will integrate the platform to the other information systems of our territory
- The first action we performed was, at the end of last year, the definition and the publication as a local law, of the guidelines which are the reference for all the institution that publish open data on our catalog. Basically, the guidelines defines: the licences we are using for our data (we adopte well know licenses such as Creative Commons zero and creative commons by) The open formats we have to use to publish the datasets The metadata information which describes the data we publish on the catalog. We spend al lot f time to define the minumin and significant set of metadata, which now are also used as a reference at national level.
- Then, at the beginning of this year we published our open data catalog, which is based on the open platform proposed by the Open Knowledge foundation. Currently, the Open Data catalog contains more than 5 hundreds datasets which can be searched and downloaded both by users and thorugh open APIs. I would like to highlight here that dati.trentino.it started as an open government data portal but is open to the other intitutions and to the corporate world. We, as a project, started a dialogue with the local private business for this reason in order to convince them to open up their data. We are also planning to do training courses and workshops for educational purposes both for internal and external users
- Some recently results include: The publication of more than 5 hundreds datasets coming from the different departmnets, a federated monucipality (Trento) and a company (Informatica Trentina) We had almost 70 thounsands visits and more than 2 thousands and 5 hundreds downloads We also received feedbacks: reporting errors, asking for new data, new suggestions and three apps based on the data we published were developed right now (ViviTrentino, SmartCampus and ViviFiemme)
- From September 2013 to February 2014, also Trentino will launch a challenge to build software applicatiosn and creative products (multimedia, audiovisual products, posters, illustrations) based on the datasets published on the http://dati.trentino.it open data catalog.
- We are actively working to build an integrated platform with other projects such as the Big Data project and the SmartCampus project also by using trasvesal best practices such as the ones we are using to tackle the change management, the legal issues and the Open Data Communities
- And of course we are working to build a shared common collaboration environment with the other public and private institutions of our territory at Muncipality and Valley level Thorugh the Monicipalities consortium. But we are also involving in the process educational institutes, research intitutes and citizens thourgh, for example the use of crowd sourcing techniques.

- Thank you very much for your attentio… and please give us feedbacks on our open data work!
