data data everywhere and not a byte to eat
DESCRIPTION
Presentation by Tim Willoughby at the Fujitsu Innovation Gathering 2013 conference at Croke Park in Dublin. Paper title - Data Data Everywhere but not a Byte to eat - The big issues are - lots of Data, lots of talk, not many solutions coming up, meet many people with the same issues. Local Government are working on Open Data, Linked Open Data, Semantic Web, Smart Cities, relying on Universities (DERI) for solutions to the bigger issues. A lot of incremental innovation is ongoing.TRANSCRIPT
Data, Data, Everywhere and not a Byte to Eat – The Data
Challenge in Smart CitiesOpen Data / Smart Cities / Smart Data

Shared Service for Local Government
Smart Cities…
•Smart city is a journey – not a destination•Ireland has an opportunity – •Smart Country…•What are / should the Local Authorities do…
Challenge with Data…
• When you view the world through the lens of Local Government - everything you view relates to that…• When you have a hammer –
everything becomes a nail…
Smart Country –How do we know when we are there?• A broadband infrastructure• widely available and affordable to all
• Applications and services in areas• such as Transport, safety, health, education and economy
• An interconnection between and across Agencies and Communities • through a Standardised Integrated service architecture
• A platform for innovation (data and information services)• promotes the development of new applications and services
The World has changed…

How to deal with Lots of data
• 7TB a Day for Twitter…• 10,000 CD’s• 5m Floppy• 225GB during this talk…• How do you Store that…• HD Write Speed- 80mb/s… • 24.3 Hrs to write 7TB…. • Government Thinking is not in this space.. Yet..
So far ICT has not fundamentally changed government
• 1990s: lCT expected to make government more transparent, efficient and user oriented • 2005+: disillusion as
bureaucracy still in existence• Is Open Data / smart city the
answer?

Local Government Portal
• Standards• Service Catalogue – How can we present
data together if it isn’t the same service?• Ontology – Produce Open Data (RDFa) for
Standard Entities • People, Services, Events, Updates, Locations,
etc
• Reuse Information across the Sector• FixYourStreet• CheckTheRegister• MyPlan
• Data• CKAN / Data.Localgov.ie• Gis Data / Inspire
• Service Catalogue• Open Data• CRM• GIS• Knowledge Management• Content Management Systems• Online Services
What is Data Interoperability?What is Data Interoperability?The ability to exchange information between and
among public bodiescross discipline, cross jurisdiction, cross sector.
Assumptions:1. Exchanges would benefit one or more agencies2. Philosophy of “need to know” is replaced by “responsibility
to provide”
Shared Datacan be critical
in emergency response!

Local Government Issue?Information does not stop at the County Boundary
• We have almost as many man-made boundaries as we have data sets
What has Cloud ever done for us?
Apart from Scale, Speed, Agility, Low Cost, Enterprise Adoption, Enterprise Mapping, Open Data, Standards, Google, API’s, etcOpen Street Maps, Map Servers, Telephony, Cloud Expansion etc
Drivers – Open Data
Open Data – Natural Progression…• Standards…• Ability to Link relevant data to make
even more
Linked Data
• High or recognised Value (transparent)• Cool, High Value Apps – from Local data
Public Data
• Manage their own Data• Implication for Health and Social Care
Citizens First
Drivers – Personal Productivity

Are we there yet?
• Services based on Aggregation of data from Multiple Authorities• Services based on data from

play with our stuff..• Imagine the Local Elections using
FOAF and Semantic Web to exchange information
we’ll always have reasons to say no!
Computer Says no..
We need to be decisive
