Federated machine learning: generating value from shared data while maintaining privacy
Data is a fundamental resource for improving our quality of life because it enables better decision-making processes to create personalised products and services, both in the public and private sectors. In contexts such as health, mobility, energy or education, the use of data facilitates more effic…
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…
GeoPackage in INSPIRE: efficiency and usability for geospatial data geospatial data.
In the field of geospatial data, encoding and standardisation play a key role in ensuring interoperability between systems and improving accessibility to information.
The INSPIRE Directive (Infrastructure for Spatial Information in Europe) determines the general rules for the establishment of an Inf…
Linguistic corpora: the knowledge engine for AI
The transfer of human knowledge to machine learning models is the basis of all current artificial intelligence. If we want AI models to be able to solve tasks, we first have to encode and transmit solved tasks to them in a formal language that they can process. We understand as a solved task informa…
How to measure carbon footprint using open data
The carbon footprint is a key indicator for understanding the environmental impact of our actions. It measures the amount of greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere as a result of human activities, most notably the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. These gases,…
Accelerating the energy transition with open data
Aspects as relevant to our society as environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation or energy security have led to the energy transition taking on a very important role in the daily lives of nations, private and public organisations, and even in our daily lives as citizens of the world. Th…
The keys to the UNE data specifications
We live in a constantly evolving environment in which data is growing exponentially and is also a fundamental component of the digital economy. In this context, it is necessary to unlock its potential to maximize its value by creating opportunities for its reuse. However, it is important to bear in…
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…
Open Data for Sustainable City Development
Open data is a valuable tool for making informed decisions that encourage the success of a process and enhance its effectiveness. From a sectorial perspective, open data provides relevant information about the legal, educational, or health sectors. All of these, along with many other areas, utilize…
Open data, a key tool for promoting knowledge and education
Open solutions, including Open Educational Resources (OER), Open Access to Scientific Information (OA), Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS), and open data, encourage the free flow of information and knowledge, serving as a foundation for addressing global challenges, as reminded by UNESCO.
The Unit…
