This document discusses Internet of Things (IoT), open technologies, and startups. It defines open data, describes IoT, and provides an example of an IoT use case where open data adds value. Specifically, it presents a scenario involving stakeholders in the water supply on a Greek island and how an IoT solution using open data could help automate processes and provide insights. The document emphasizes that making IoT data available as open data engages diverse stakeholders and drives knowledge and intelligence.

What is Open data?
Speak your mind!

Where to start with open data?
● Know your way around open data
e.g. EU data portal e-learning program
● Study success stories on your sector
e.g. Open Data stories
● Find and start using the right tools
e.g. LinDa
● Get in touch with experts in the field

How would you define IoT?
Shoot out words or phrases that describe
what IoT is for you!

Internet of Things
The evolution of programming, where
● Computers (Hardware & Software)
● Communications (networking)
● Sensors (data collecting) and actuators
(acting) with a unique ID
● Automated processes (data exchanging)
● (Big) Data analysis (computing)
interconnect to provide
● Insights / Business Intelligence

13. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
It’s all about data!
Make data available as open data:
● Complete
● Primary
● Timely
● Accessible
● Machine processable
● Non-discriminatory access
● Non-proprietary data formats
● License-free

14. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
What about the hardware?
IoT bill of rights. Consumers have the
right to:
- control their privacy
- control the devices in their home
- control the data collected about them
- transparency
- change: against proprietary lock-in,
open standards

15. Let’s get to work!

16. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
An IoT startup opportunity!
Consider a Greek island, where drinking
water is supplied on demand by private
companies to consumers.
Involved stakeholders are:

17. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
Involved stakeholders / Tools
Water tank Homeowner
Water
company
Municipal
water dpt
ROLES
Database
TOOLS
DBimport export phone sensor

18. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
Action!
Let’s become them!

19. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
Other IoT use-cases?
Can you think of other Internet of Things
use-cases?
How would open data add value to these?

20. InnovAthens, 24 October 2016
Time for a RECAP...
1. Open data is data we can access, use or
share.
2. IoT is the evolution of computing that
interconnects resources to produce data
about human and machine activity. Data
drive knowledge and intelligence.
3. Making this data available as open data
adds value, engaging diverse
stakeholders.
