PET technologies: how to use protected data in a privacy-sensitive way
As organisations seek to harness the potential of data to make decisions, innovate and improve their services, a fundamental challenge arises: how can data collection and use be balanced with respect for privacy? PET technologies attempt to address this challenge. In this post, we will explore what…
Safe rooms in Spain: What kind of data can researchers access?
There are a number of data that are very valuable, but which by their nature cannot be opened to the public at large. These are confidential data which are subject to third party rights that prevent them from being made available through open platforms, but which may be essential for research that p…
The agreement to provide statistical data to researchers, in the context of the Data Governance Regulation
The European Union has devised a fundamental strategy to ensure accessible and reusable data for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. Strategic decisions have been made both in a regulatory and in a material sense to build spaces for data sharing and to foster the emergence of intermediar…
Vinalod: The tool to make open datasets more accessible
Public administration is working to ensure access to open data, in order to empowering citizens in their right to information. Aligned with this objective, the European open data portal (data.europa.eu) references a large volume of data on a variety of topics.
However, although the data belong to di…
Common misunderstandings in data anonymisation
Data anonymisation is a complex process and often prone to misunderstandings. In the worst case, these misconceptions lead to data leakage, directly affecting the guarantees that should be offered to users regarding their privacy.
Anonymisation aims at rendering data anonymous, avoiding the re-ident…
The importance of anonymization and data privacy
We are in a historical moment, where data has become a key asset for almost any process in our daily lives. There are more and more ways to collect data and more capacity to process and share it, where new technologies such as IoT, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Linked Data play a…
Hercules-ASIO Initiative. Integration, publication and consultation of linked open research data.
The Hercules initiative was launched in November 2017, through an agreement between the University of Murcia and the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, with the aim of developing a Research Management System (RMS) based on semantic open data that offers a global view of the research…
Pubby and LODI, opening linked data to humans
An important part of the data which is published on the Semantic Web, where resources are identified by URIs, is stored within triple store databases. This data can only be accessed through SPARQL queries via a SPARQL endpoint.
Moreover, the URIs used, usually designed in a pattern, in most of the d…
Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)
One of the main barriers to the deployment of linked data is the difficulty that data editors have to determine which vocabularies to use to describe their semantics. These vocabularies provide the "semantic glue" that allows simple data to become "meaningful data".
Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)…
