The document discusses the Urban Data Exchange, a platform for accessing IoT data from cities worldwide, which aims to facilitate the sharing of urban data. It emphasizes the importance of establishing solid use cases, regional data communities, and common standards for data sharing. Additionally, it highlights features like configurable licenses, a federated access system, and a tamper-proof blockchain storage for agreements.

A one-stop shop for
urban IoT data.
Enabling simple access to IoT data from
thousands of cities around the world via a
single platform.

How does it work?
A marketplace where you can search and
subscribe to IoT data streams from urban
environments.
A federated access system allows cities to
expose their data to many developers and
data users around the world through a
common portal.

Where does the
data come from?
Currently we have onboarded data from
Cities and private companies.
Onboarding a new data source is easy as
long as it’s NGSI v2 compliant.

How can it be
licensed?
Data providers are able of attaching
licenses and/or payment terms to their
data sources and the agreement will be
stored on the blockchain, making it
tamper-proof.
