Government boost for data technology researchJohn Davis
The UK government has announced an investment of £186 million to boost scientific and technological development in eight key areas, including £34 million for new data research and four administrative data centers. This investment aims to help the UK gain an advantage in the global technology race. The focus will be on using new data through the University of Southampton's work in engineering, geotechnology, and related fields. As technology enables more data to be created faster, the ability to store and analyze large amounts of data must also increase to enable new discoveries.
SC4 Workshop 1: Evangelos Mitsakis: Big data Sources for/from Intelligent Roa...BigData_Europe
This document discusses big data sources for intelligent road transport. It explains that even small datasets from individual vehicles can grow very large in aggregate when many vehicles are transmitting GPS data. Transportation agencies are now collecting petabytes of data on traffic patterns, public transit use, and vehicle locations using sensors, vehicle fleets, and smartphones. This big data is helping to optimize traffic management, asset maintenance, and traveler information services. Researchers are also able to conduct more accurate studies without relying on samples by analyzing vast amounts of real-world transportation data. The document provides examples of big data collection and use for traffic, public transit, and smart cities in Greece.
This document discusses the work of the IIIF Discovery Technical Subgroup, which aims to support the discovery of IIIF resources across institutions. It notes that over 335 million IIIF resources are available from over 100 institutions. Key areas the group is addressing include: (1) how to crawl and harvest IIIF resource descriptions from different sources, (2) how to index and link IIIF content to external metadata formats to support search, and (3) how to set up change notification systems and import IIIF content into different viewers. The group is developing recommendations and reference implementations in these areas to facilitate broad discovery of the growing amount of IIIF content available online.
The document discusses the Intertwine Alliance, a coalition of organizations working to improve access to information about parks and trails through data standards and applications. It promotes OpenTrails, an open data standard for park information used to build visitor apps, and OuterSpatial, a platform providing easy access to park data. The Regional Land Information System database contains over 3,000 miles of trail data now available through OpenTrails to help developers build maps and apps for visitors to access outdoor information.
This presentation discusses two databases. The first is a database of the platform scholarship from 2000 to present. The second is a global database of platform companies.
How open government data principles will influence the future of INSPIRE?Tomasz Nałęcz
This document discusses how open government data principles could influence the future of INSPIRE, the European Union's Infrastructure for Spatial Information. Open government promotes transparency, participation, and cooperation by making government data openly available. Open data refers to non-proprietary data that can be used freely without restrictions. The document argues that INSPIRE spatial data should follow open data principles by being complete, timely, accessible, machine-readable, non-discriminatory, and license-free. Adopting open data could provide benefits to INSPIRE like a single portal for spatial and non-spatial data, new apps and products using the data, and increased data quality and transparency.

Open Data And The Fight Against Corruption In FranceFrenchWeb.fr
France has taken steps to implement open data principles and increase transparency, adopting laws that aim to make data open by default, timely, accessible, and interoperable. However, full implementation of these principles faces challenges from cultural resistance to sharing information and a lack of technical infrastructure. While some anti-corruption datasets are available, like government budgets and procurement, anti-corruption is not a main priority of France's open data policy and impact has been limited. The report evaluates France's implementation of the G20 Open Data Principles and finds room for improvement, particularly in making more sensitive anti-corruption data openly available and using open data actively in the fight against corruption.

This document discusses Amsterdam's open data initiatives. It explains that open data can increase government transparency, enable efficient services by involving users, and spur mass innovation through civic participation. Amsterdam's open data efforts include hosting hackathons like Apps for Amsterdam to engage developers, collaborating on an open data platform with other EU cities, holding mobile app conferences, partnering with universities on an app store, and addressing challenges like maintaining dialog with developers and proving the economic value of open data. The overall goal is to promote innovative uses of public data through bottom-up involvement of civic innovators and hackers.
This document discusses how open data is turned into services. It notes that while open data initiatives aim to spur the creation of new services, the development of sustainable services based on open data has been disappointing. Several approaches are explored to better encourage the creation of open data services, such as addressing intellectual property rights, improving data discoverability, providing support like APIs and training, and running competitions. However, studies suggest that the potential for open data to generate new services may be overstated, as reusers are not strongly demanding open datasets and there is a lack of alignment between released datasets and created services.

Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.

Preventing traffic fatalities with open data
13. Open the black box
« Our world, awash in data, will
require new techniques to ensure
algorithmic accountability,
leading the next-generation of
computational journalists to file
Freedom of Information requests
for code, not just data, enabling
them to reverse engineer how
decisions and policies are being
made by programs in the public
and private sectors.”
