Benefits and opportunities of public initiatives for open data visualisation
Imagine you want to know how many terraces there are in your neighbourhood, how the pollen levels in the air you breathe every day are evolving or whether recycling in your city is working well. All this information exists in your municipality's databases, but it sits in spreadsheets and technical d…
SLM, LLM, RAG and Fine-tuning: Pillars of Modern Generative AI
In the fast-paced world of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), there are several concepts that have become fundamental to understanding and harnessing the potential of this technology. Today we focus on four: Small Language Models(SLM), Large Language Models(LLM), Retrieval Augmented Generation…
GRAPH QL. Your best ally for the creation of data products.
The era of digitalisation in which we find ourselves has filled our daily lives with data products or data-driven products. In this post we discover what they are and show you one of the key data technologies to design and build this kind of products: GraphQL.
Introduction
Let's start at the beginni…
UNE specifications as a complement to ISO standards for the governance, management and quality of Information Systems and Technologies
Standardisation is essential to improve efficiency and interoperability in governance and data management. The adoption of standards provides a common framework for organising, exchanging and interpreting data, facilitating collaboration and ensuring data consistency and quality. The ISO standards,…
Big Data Test Infrastructure: A free environment for public administrations to experiment with open data

This free-to-use, cloud-based tool was created in 2019 to accelerate d…
RAG - Retrieval Augmented Generation: The key that unlocks the door to precision language models
Teaching computers to understand how humans speak and write is a long-standing challenge in the field of artificial intelligence, known as natural language processing (NLP). However, in the last two years or so, we have seen the fall of this old stronghold with the advent of large language models (L…
A common language to enable interoperability between open dataset catalogs
Open data plays a relevant role in technological development for many reasons. For example, it is a fundamental component in informed decision making, in process evaluation or even in driving technological innovation. Provided they are of the highest quality, up-to-date and ethically sound, data can…

The legal sector is no exception, which is why in recent years…
We tested SpaCy: much more than a library for creating real natural language processing projects
Few abilities are as characteristic of human beings as language. According to the Aristotelian school, humans are rational animals who pursue knowledge for the mere fact of knowing. Without going into deep philosophical considerations that far exceed the purpose of this space for dissemination, we c…
