Explainable artificial intelligence (XAI): how open data can help understand algorithms
The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in critical areas such as public administration, financial services or healthcare has brought the need for algorithmic transparency to the forefront. The complexity of AI models used to make decisions such as granting credit or making a…
Open data for a better understanding of the housing situation in Spain
Housing is one of the main concerns of Spanish citizens, according to the January 2025 barometer of the Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS). In order to know the real situation of access to housing, it is necessary to have public, updated and quality data, which allows all the actors in thi…
Open data to promote healthy ageing
Data on older people can play a crucial role in promoting healthy ageing, assisting the development and maintenance of the physical and mental capacities that enable well-being in old age. This open data can be used for the development of policies to better respond to the needs of older people, such…
The role of open data in the evolution of SLM and LLM: efficiency vs. power
Language models are at the epicentre of the technological paradigm shift that has been taking place in generative artificial intelligence (AI) over the last two years. From the tools with which we interact in natural language to generate text, images or videos and which we use to create creativ…
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…
RAG techniques: how they work and examples of use cases
In recent months we have seen how the large language models (LLMs ) that enable Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) applications have been improving in terms of accuracy and reliability. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) techniques have allowed us to use the full power of n…

IMPaCT, the Infrastructure for Precision Medicine associated with Science and Technology, is an innovative programme that aims to revolutionise medical care. Coordinated and funded by the Carlos III Health Institute, it aims to boost the effective deployment of personalised precision medicine.…
Health research and data groups: examples at the forefront of the field
In the medical sector, access to information can transform lives. This is one of the main reasons why data sharing and open data communities or open science linked to medical research have become such a valuable resource. Medical research groups that champion the use and reuse of data are leading th…
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,…
