Obj 43 SME initiative on analytics

Brief

a) Integrated Open Data Incubator (one IP)
b) Easing transfer and take-up of language technologies (STREP)
c) Software components and intuitive end user applications based on reuse of open data (STREP)

Material presented

Points to consider

Strep (15 M€)
  • Consortium with at least 2 SMEs
  • Max. 24 months runtime
  • Max. EU funding: 1.500.000€
  • At least 30% of the funding to be allocated to SMEs
  • Part B max. 20 pages
  • One-stage submission process
IP
  • Part B max. 50 pages
  • Max EU funding: 5 M€

(a) & (c)

Open Data Reuse: Large volumes of open data have been made available but the reuse of open data is not keeping pace with publication developments.

Impact
  • Hundreds of applications, reusing billions of open data records, used by millions of end users around the EU
  • Dozens of data application software components, used by hundreds of developers
  • Wider creation of valuable applications by integrating available public data with the users' own data, including contextual information available from mobile devices

(a)

Recommendations
  • Focus is on incubator role, not on research
  • Hands-on support of SMEs: provision of data, integration support, testing environment,...
  • The consortium will disburse the majority of the funds to fund mini-proposals submitted by SMEs

(c)

Development of software components supporting the whole life cycle of reuse of multilingual open data, particularly from public bodies.

Methodologies and tools for
  • data publication
  • linking
  • assessing data demand
  • cross platform development of data applications
with focus on
  • usability
  • sustainability
  • responsiveness
Recommendations
  • Point out the need for the envisioned components in the current open data reuse chain
  • Develop intuitive tools that simplify the reuse of open data
