Sotiris is currently working as Research Director with the Institute of Computer Science at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, where his research interests include systems, networks, and security. He is also a member of the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) Permanent Stakeholders Group! During Data Science Conference, Sotiris will talk about how data sharing between private companies and research facilities may lead to monetization.

6. Need to share data

7. Challenges and opportunities for data
sharing
• Companies can share data with research facilities to:
• Gain insights that support company’s mission
• Unlock and demonstrate the value of company data
• Support a company’s philanthropic mission.
• However…
• Companies are concerned about privacy and confidentiality issues, especially
the risk of re-identification.
• Companies and research facilities are both concerned that sharing data for
research might destroy the intellectual property value of their data.

8. How to share Data - Making Data FAIR
The FAIR Guideline Principles Ensure Data Transparency, Reproducibility,
and Re-usability
• Findable
• Assign persistent and unique identifiers, provide rich metadata, findable through
disciplinary discovery portals
• Accessible
• making the data open using a standardised protocol, metadata remain accessible
even if data aren’t
• Interoperable
• data and metadata need to use community agreed formats, language and standard
vocabularies
• Reusable
• Rich metadata, clear machine readable licenses, provenance information

9. Data-intensive Systems
• Organizations typically maintain Big Data systems to support the large
volumes of both structured and unstructured data
• Besides storage and transformation, how to help secure and control their
data, while empowering them to thorough analyse it?
• There is a need for systems to operate within the organization
• How to help organizations analyze their data without relying on expert
analysts or consultants?
Big-Data-as-a-Self-Service is one of the main challenges of
the data economy

I-BiDaaS Vision

16. Objectives
• Break the industrial silos
• We want to be able to combine different data sources together, or even with
other information (operation and business data)
• Cross-sector flow of data
• We want to relate logistics planning with economy trends
• Processing and managing big data in a user-friendly way
• Very comprehensive way of end-user platform interaction with multiple
options crafted for different levels of users’ expertise
• I-BiDaaS as a Self-Service solution
• In the long run, the I-BiDaaS platform and the ecosystem can significantly help
towards Big Data as a self service within enterprises
