Real-time geospatial data interoperability: how OGC standards enable real-time data exchange from urban sensors, mobility or weather
Cities, infrastructures and the environment today generate a constant flow of data from sensors, transport networks, weather stations and Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, understood as networks of physical devices (digital traffic lights, air quality sensors, etc.) capable of measuring and transm…
Cyber-Physical Systems: the bridge between the real world and open data
We live in an age where more and more phenomena in the physical world can be observed, measured, and analyzed in real time. The temperature of a crop, the air quality of a city, the state of a dam, the flow of traffic or the energy consumption of a building are no longer data that are occasiona…
Quantum computing and open data. The Next Frontier of Knowledge and Technology
Quantum computing promises to solve problems in hours that would take millennia for the world's most powerful supercomputers. From designing new drugs to optimizing more sustainable energy grids, this technology will radically transform our ability to address humanity's most complex challenges. Howe…
Open data, artificial intelligence and the environment
The convergence between open data, artificial intelligence and environmental sustainability poses one of the main challenges for the digital transformation model that is being promoted at European level. This interaction is mainly materialized in three outstanding manifestations:
The opening of hi…
Projects to promote open government in Spain
Last October, Spain hosted the OGP 2025 Global Summit, an international benchmark event on open government. More than 2,000 representatives of governments, civil society organisations and public policy experts from around the world met in Vitoria-Gasteiz to discuss the importance of maintaining…
Enriched metadata: evolution towards knowledge graphs and ontologies
In any data management environment (companies, public administration, consortia, research projects), having data is not enough: if you don't know what data you have, where it is, what it means, who maintains it, with what quality, when it changed or how it relates to other data, then the value is ve…
Three strategies to get the most out of your AI-powered summaries
We live surrounded by AI-generated summaries. We have had the option of generating them for months, but now they are imposed on digital platforms as the first content that our eyes see when using a search engine or opening an email thread. On platforms such as Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, video c…
Designing Data Visualizations with Integrity: Beyond Pretty Charts
Data visualization is a fundamental practice to democratize access to public information. However, creating effective graphics goes far beyond choosing attractive colors or using the latest technological tools. As Alberto Cairo, an expert in data visualization and professor at the academy of th…
Open Data and Synthetic Data for Innovation, Privacy, and Trust
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming one of the main drivers of increased productivity and innovation in both the public and private sectors, becoming increasingly relevant in tasks ranging from the creation of content in any format (text, audio, video) to the optimization of comp…
The European Health Data Space and Open Data: Synergy for Health Innovation
Open health data is one of the most valuable assets of our society. Well managed and shared responsibly, they can save lives, drive medical discoveries, or even optimize hospital resources. However, for decades, this data has remained fragmented in institutional silos, with incompati…
