1. Panel #4: Open Knowledge - Data, Citizens and Governance
Transiting to Open Knowledge by fostering
Collaboration through CO-CREATION

2. What is a Smart City?
 A Smart City is an innovative and sustainable place that …
1
• uses information and communication technologies (ICT) and other
means to …
□ improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and
competitiveness, while …
– ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with
respect to economic, social and environmental aspects

3. The need for Participative Cities
 Smart Cities should not only be efficient but inclusive and participative:
• Only possible by user-driven and centric innovation:
□ The citizen should be heard, EMPOWERED!
 How to achieve more participative cities?
• Ubiquitous urban apps and services to enhance the experience and interactions of the
citizen, by taking advantage of the city infrastructure and their contributions
• The information generated by cities and citizens must be linked and processed, still
preserving the rights of contributors
□ Regulate, protect, legislate to guarantee the rights and opportunities of such data providers
• Citizens must be engaged by being delivered back better services
 How do we correlate, link and exploit such humongous data for all
stakeholders’ benefit?
• Demand for Big (Linked) Data for enabling Urban Analytics!!!

4. Citizen Participation
 City knowledge not only fed by
government or networked sensors' provided
data, but also with highly dynamic user-
generated data
 Citizens may help on improving,
extending and enriching the data, but…
• Quality of the provided data may vary from
one citizen to another (duplication, miss-
classification)
• Continuously prosume data only if they feel
that services meeting their needs are offered
back as useful services

5. Beyond Open Data Portals …

CITIZENS have
NO SKILLS or TOOLS to
utilize COMPLEX DATA
LOW BENEFITS
from OPEN DATA
published by CITIES

6. CO-CREATION as a means to foster public/private collaboration

CO-BUSINESSCO-MAINTENANCECO-IMPLEMENTATIONCO-IDEATION
WeLive Platform
WeLive Hosting Environments
CO-DESIGN
The core WeLive Platform supports the first phases
of the CO-CREATION lifecycle by giving tools for
innovating and implementing services together
CO-EXPLOITATION
WeLive Hosting Environments support CO-
MAINTENANCE of co-created services. Preliminary CO-
BUSINESS support has been implemented into the CNS
Marketplace
CO-CREATION
CO-CREATION of SUSTAINABLE services requires
support for both CO-DESIGN and CO-
EXPLOITATION

7. Participation and Collaboration need to be sustainable …

Is it worth of implementing?
Is it worth of maintaining?
Enough business potential?
CO-IDEATION
CO-IMPLEMENTATION
CO-MAINTENANCE
CO-BUSINESS
Needs & Opportunities
PROFIT & SUSTAINABILITY
Profit from CO-BUSINESS
justifies the effort used in
CO-IMPLEMENTATION and
fuels CO-MAINTENANCE
which ensures long-term
SUSTAINABILITY

8. Urban Intelligence
 Broad Data aggregates data from heterogeneous sources:
• Open Government Data repositories
• User-supplied data through social networks or apps
• Public private sector data or
• End-user private data
 Urban Intelligence = giving sense to the correlation and analysis of
Broad Data in the city context
• Leverage digital traces left by citizens in their daily interactions with the
city to gain insights about why, how and when they do things
• We can progress from Open City Data to Open Data Knowledge
□ Energy saving, improve health monitoring, optimized transport system, filtering and
recommendation of contents and services

9. From Open Data to Open Knowledge
8

10. From Privative Knowledge Graphs to Government Knowledge
Graphs …
 Knowledge Graphs provide structured and detailed information about a given
topic, together with a list of links to other concepts
• Google Knowledge Graph is a good example of a privately-owned semantic network
contains more than 570 million objects and more than 18 million facts about – and
relations among – those different objects which are used to understand the meaning of
the terms used in the search query
 Government Knowledge Graphs (GKG) – as suitable data models to capture the
knowledge in different key governmental areas, e.g. public physical asset
management, citizen card or community-managed sensing and analytics
• Fed by ontological background knowledge, Open Data, social data, legacy data, but also
by user-generated data and real-time data coming from city-wide sensor infrastructure
