Societies

Community building and supporting

◎ Establish 7 Societal Big Data Interest Groups

o modelled after the W3C interest groups

o involving a large number of stakeholders from the H2020 societal challenges as well as technical Big Data

experts

o each group has a domain and a technical chair

◎ Building a European network and multiplier organisation per societal challenge to

o engage with stakeholders in the particular societal challenge area and raise awareness

o support the requirements elicitation, definition and prioritization

o assemble a library of data sources and datasets

o provide a comprehensive test bed for the evaluation of the BDE Aggregator Platform

o select pilot use cases, across different domains

o promote the showcase developed for the societal domain and support the dissemination of the BDE results

o provide appropriate academic and training curricula for training future researchers and practitioners.27-févr.-15

Workshops

◎ 7 X 3 Workshops (at least 3 per Societal Challenge)

◎ First series of workshops in the next months will focus on requirements

definition

o analyse workshops results and create 1st draft per societal challenge,

o examine also the use of other tools such as

❖ surveys (broad audience to ask for (big) data management needs)

❖ manage experts interviews with Big Data experts

❖ interviews with EC representative per societal challenge

◎ Second series of workshops in the 2nd year will focus on a review of the

architecture and first prototype implementation

◎ Third series of workshops in the 3rd year will focus on the platform

evaluation and showcases for the societal domains 27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu

Requirements Specification and Pilot

Planning

◎ Requirements Elicitation (WP2)Workshops, Desktop Research, Interviews, Survey

◎ Alignment of Requirements (WP2/WP3)Identify core requirements and instance requirements

◎ Technical Specification (WP3)Functional & non-functional requirements to hand over to architecture team

and then to the BDE platform development team (WP4)

◎ Pilot Planning and Deployment (WP6)Planning for three piloting cycles using the BDE platform instances (WP5)

27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu

Requirements Alignment

Alignment of all collected requirements as follows

◎ Evaluate common requirements for (all) societal challenges = core requirements

◎ Evaluate & summarise requirements per societal challenge = (additional) instance

requirements

◎ Prioritisation of requirements

Add. information to take into account (desk research etc.)

◎ Relevant studies, reports e.g: BIG, Big Data AT, H2020 Data Mgnt. Plans

◎ PLUS: ask additional questions (internally) for this activity

o What technologies are already available in organisations

o What technology is easy-to-use by end users

o Which skills are available, etc…27-févr.-15

Requirements Specification

Technical Requirements Specification of all functional & non-functional

Requirements

◎ Final list of Use Cases & user interaction

◎ Tech Specs for core BDE Platform

◎ Tech Specs for all 7 instances

◎ Hand over to create final architecture

27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu

Pilot Planning and Deployment

◎ Implementation of three cycles of piloting sessions using BDE stack

◎ Each piloting plan will involve the following steps:

o Data assets acquisition, mapping/transformation, linking and integration

o Generic enabling components configuration

o Integration of domain-specific technology

o Establishing of domain-specific workflow support

o Qualitative and quantitative evaluation

◎ Pilot Deployment

o Identifying promising show cases involving key large-scale datasets
