The organisation of this day, will be published on social media with the hashtag #DatosAbiertosCotec, the Barcelona Open Data Initiative and the King Juan Carlos University will participate and it will be led by the open data expert Alberto Abella.

The conclusions of the event will be presented on October 24 during the afternoon of the Aporta Meeting 2017.

On 23 October, the Red.es Auditorium will host the “Local organisations and open data” conference, which forms part of a pre-event for the Aporta Meeting 2017. This session, which will take place in the afternoon (from 16:30 to 19:30) will be held in the format of a meeting and its objective is to bring together different agents that work in local open data ecosystems (publishers, reusers, etc.) to evaluate the current situation in this field at a local level.

In said meeting, the aim is to identify needs, opportunities and benefits in the drive towards opening data and data economy and analyse the needs and demands of reusers in sets of field data that are demanded and not offered. Finally, it will address the need to standardise vocabulary, APIs and data quality together with the evolution of open data platforms.

The work meeting will be structured into two blocks:

• 4 talks on the subjects of: “Guide to FEMP open data”, “State of open data initiatives at a local level”, “Data economy” and “Open data project within local administration”
• Roundtable discussion that will tackle: open data, technological support and the standardisation of its publication and reuse, local open data ecosystems and data economy and conclusions and work lines to put into action.

The aims of this meeting are to generate a community and space for debate regarding opening data in local organisations, obtain a view of the current state of opening data at a local level and identify barriers in opening and consuming data. It also aims to agree future work lines to create local open data ecosystems and drive and continue with actions that are being carried out by work groups in this field from the FEMP and RECI.

This event will be shared on social media with the hashtag #LocalOpenData. It has been organised with the collaboration of Red.es, Spanish network of intelligent cities (RECI - Red Española de Ciudades Inteligentes) and the FEMP – Network of local organisations for transparency and participation. The main conclusions that will be taken from this conference will be made clear during the Aporta Meeting 2017 on 23 October.
