AI Data Readiness: Preparing Data for Artificial Intelligence
Over the last few years we have seen spectacular advances in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and, behind all these achievements, we will always find the same common ingredient: data. An illustrative example known to everyone is that of the language models used by OpenAI for its famous ChatGP…
Urban Heat Islands: How Geospatial Open Data Can Make Our Cities More Resilient
Cities account for more than two-thirds of Europe's population and consume around 80% of energy. In this context, climate change is having a particularly severe impact on urban environments, not only because of their density, but also because of their construction characteristics, their energy metab…
Geospatial intelligence and satellite data in defence: the strategic role of open data in Spain
In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) has become an essential tool for defence and security decision-making . The ability to collect, analyse and interpret geospatial data enables armed forces and security agencies to better understand the operational…
Satellite Data Analysis: A Window on the World from Space - Application in Fisheries Monitoring and Management
Satellite data has become a fundamental tool for understanding and monitoring our planet from a unique perspective. This data, collected by satellites in orbit around the Earth, provides a global and detailed view of various terrestrial, maritime and atmospheric phenomena that have applications in m…
Building footprints: open data that saves lives in emergencies
In a world increasingly exposed to natural hazards and humanitarian crises, accurate and up-to-date geospatial data can make the difference between effective response and delayed reaction. The building footprints, i.e. the contours of buildings as they appear on the ground, are one of the most valua…
How Copernicus geospatial data drives innovation in the energy sector
Geospatial data has driven improvements in a number of sectors, and energy is no exception. This data allows us to better understand our environment in order to promote sustainability, innovation and informed decision-making.
One of the main providers of open geospatial data is Copernicus, the Europ…
Exploring space from the ground: open satellite data in Europe and its applications
The value of open satellite data in Europe
Satellites have become essential tools for understanding the planet and managing resources efficiently. The European Union (EU) has developed an advanced space infrastructure with the aim of providing real-time data on the environment, navigation and meteor…
Addressing global challenges through open data
The ability to collect, analyse and share data plays a crucial role in the context of the global challenges we face as a society today. From pollution and climate change, through poverty and pandemics, to sustainable mobility and lack of access to basic services. Global problems require solutions th…
New Year's resolution: Apply the UNE data specifications in your organisation
As tradition dictates, the end of the year is a good time to reflect on our goals and objectives for the new phase that begins after the chimes. In data, the start of a new year also provides opportunities to chart an interoperable and digital future that will enable the development of a robust data…
Application of the UNE 0081:2023 Specification for data quality evaluation
The new UNE 0081 Data Quality Assessment specification, focused on data as a product (datasets or databases), complements the UNE 0079 Data Quality Management specification, which we analyse in this article, and focuses on data quality management processes. Both standards 0079 and 008…
