smart cities

The new school year has already begun. While students are gradually returning to schools, companies and organizations are also recovering their activity. The last quarter of the year is chosen by a large number of organizations to launch events that help us to better understand the universe of open data, bringing us success stories and giving us the opportunity to discuss the future challenges.

In datos.gob.es we have compiled some of these events:

• On September 14, the Tech.Party 2019 is held at the Nave de Madrid. This event brings together more than 30 technological communities with the objective of “sharing knowledge and stimulating critical thinking”. Conferences and workshops will address issues such as blockchain technology, data analysis, artificial intelligence, hacktivism or technological recycling.

• Ten days later, on September 24, the #GIGAPP2019 Workshop: Civic applications and open data to supervise the power will be organized by Medialab Prado. This event will introduce recent Ibero-American experiences related to data opening for public accountability. Attendees will have the opportunity to share and discuss impressions with the creators of these tools.

• Meanwhile, the IV International Congress of Transparency will take place in Malaga from September 30 to October 2. The event will be structured in plenary sessions and seminars. Each seminar will act as a working group where different subjects will be discussed, including active advertising, open data and citizen participation.

• Cáceres will host, from October 23 to 25, the X Iberian Conference on Spatial Data Infrastructures (JIIDE 2019). Under the slogan "Local IDEs, bringing digital information to citizens", technical sessions, workshops and round tables will be held to share and publicize the Inspire Directive and the various activities carried out by local IDEs. Open data and e-administration will also be discussed.

• The Barcelona City Council has launched a new edition of the Barcelona Dades Obertes Challenge, a contest aimed at promoting knowledge and the use of open data in the educational centres of Barcelona. In addition, a new edition of the World Data Viz Challenge Barcelona_Kobe is also expected for the coming months.

• Two of the big conferences that every year close the autumn events season will also take place in the Catalan capital. We are talking about the IoT Solution world Congress and the Smart City Expo 2019. The first one will take place in October 29-31 and it will address blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, e-health and other issues where open data can have a great role. For its part, the Smart City Expo 2019 will be held from November 19 to 21. It will be a mandatory meeting for those interested in cities based on data, 5G and the future of connectivity.

All these events highlight the interest in data and open data in the business and social ecosystem. An interest that continues to grow year by year, with new editions of events already held and the incorporation of new appointments to the agenda, so that all those interested in the subject can continue learning.

A new year begins and it is time to write down all those appointments that we want to attend during the next 12 months. There are all-kind event: large international events, contests and hackathons, workshops... all designed for data and new technologies lovers that want to be aware of new trends and challenges related to these areas.

As in previous years, our country will host several big events. Barcelona will be the world technology headquarter with 3 unavoidable appointments: Mobile World Congress (February, 25-28), IOT Solutions World Congress (October, 29-31) and SmartCity Expo (November, 19-21). Data have a fundamental role in all these technologies: Smartphones, IoT devices or smart cities sensors generate a huge volume of information, whose analysis is critical for decision-making. Therefore, it is not surprising that we find spaces dedicated to data management or analytics in each of these events. For example, at the Mobile World Congress, datathons and conferences focused on how to drive a data-driven future will be held. The agendas of IOT Solutions World Congress and SmartCity Expo are not yet available, but we do not doubt that both will remain along the same lines as last year.

Madrid, meanwhile, will host the Digital Enterprise Show, known as DES (May, 21-23) or the South summit (October, 2-4), which last year edition brought together more than 100 start-ups wanting to innovate. Also in Madrid will be the Open Expo Europe (June, 6), a professional fair on Open Source, Free Software and Open World Economy (Open Data and Open Innovation), and T3chFest 2019 (March, 14-15), a computer and new technologies fair held at the Carlos III University where, among other issues, speakers will talk about data science, developments and open formats.

Other appointments to consider are Greencities (March, 27-28 in Malaga), focused on urban intelligence and sustainability, and Alldata 2019 (March, 24-28 in Valencia), an international conference on Big Data, Small Data, Linked Data and Open Data.

The good moment of the open data is also evident in the large number of contests and hackathons that are expected during the next months. The registration period for the Open Data Competition of Castilla y León is currently open.

In addition, the Data Journalism workshop, organized by Medialab Prado, will be held from March 25 to 29. Under the title, “follow the food”, the workshop will focus on the food and its relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The call for projects was closed last January 9, and now is time for those who want to participate to sign up as collaborators.

Another workshop, related to Open Data Management, will be held in the city of Burgos on February 13. It will address the legal and ethical framework of open data and the tools to make research data accessible, among other issues

In addition to these examples, new appointments and events related to data world will be released during the year. For example, there will be a new edition of Aporta Meeting. And do not forget that next March 2 is the Open Data Day, a framework made up of various activities that will gradually be published on its website.

From datos.gob.es we will inform you of all these news, so you do not miss any appointment.

The international open data community has an appointment in Buenos Aires on September 27-28, 2018, in the new edition of the International Open Data Conference (IODC). Under the title "The future is open", a participatory event has been launched to address open data challenges and opportunities. The ultimate goal is to promote collaboration among professionals to define a strategy to promote the use of open data both globally and locally.

People interested in attending only have to fill out this online form. Registration is free and the process will be open until the day of the event. Also, journalists wishing to cover the conference can contact contact@opendatacon.org.

An inclusive and innovative agenda

The collaborative atmosphere of the event was reflected on the agenda. Through a global call for proposals, citizens and researchers could include their vision of open data, emphasizing their interests and concerns. The result is an agenda aligned with the needs of the attendees, which includes presentations, discussion panels, discussion groups and dynamic workshops.

The event will begin on the 27th at 9:00 a.m. local time with an official welcome, followed by an opening plenary session, where speakers will share an overview of the current status of open data in the world. Then, there will be a series of parallel sessions where different topics will be addressed:

• General sessions, focused for example on how to implement an open data policy, and other more specific sessions focused on the influence of open data in specific fields such as agriculture, journalism, Smart cities or the environment.
• Some sessions will address how open data can help solve some of humanity's current challenges (such as migration and refugee crises, gender issues or climate change).
• Regional sessions will also be held to provide information on the status of open data initiatives in specific territories such as LATAM, Asia, Western Europe or sub-Saharan Africa, among others.

All sessions that will take place in the main plenary room will be livestreamed. Also, there will be simultaneous translation services available, both for English and Spanish, in all rooms.

A week full of activities

In addition to these sessions, a series of pre-events will be held the prior days. These events are complementary to the program and allow more opportunities to engage and learn about different topics. Some example of these events are:

• September 24th. Attendees can visit the Open cities Summit, whit the support of Open Data for Development (OD4D). The objective of this event is to create a road map that includes concrete actions to develop an open city to improve the lives of citizens. Through presentations, panels and working groups, solutions will be sought to overcome previously identified challenges.

• September 25th. The Open Data Research Symposium is held, with the participation of The Governance Lab (The GovLab), ), Open Data for Development (OD4D), Open Data Research Network (ODRN) e International Development Research Center (IDRC). In this event, researchers present 8 -12 papers that provide a critical perspective and allow the development of empirically tested theories on the publication and use of open data. These papers will address issues such as the role of open data for decision-making or its value for developing economies. In addition, during the event, there will be a workshop to share relevant tools or processes for the research community.

• September 26. A day before the IODC start, attendees could enjoy ABRELATAM, an event whose organizers describe as a "no-conference", since it moves away from the traditional format of speaker who introduce a topic to a reactive audience. In this case, there will be multiple simultaneous sessions moderated by a facilitator that will encourage dialogue among small groups of attendees, based on topics gathered from the common agenda (entrepreneurship, security and privacy, algorithms and technology, etc.).

All these events will serve as a prelude to the intense IODC days, full of activities. As in the previous edition, celebrated with great success in the city of Madrid, it is expected that the event will consolidate international relations and encourage concrete actions that will go a step further in the development of open data strategies around the world.

The fifth edition of the International Open Data Conference (IODC) is already underway. This year, it will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on September 27-28. This biannual event brings together the international open data community with the objective of sharing, planning and collaborating on different current and future initiatives.

IODC seeks to identify and explore new trends that are emerging around open data, promoting innovative solutions capable of generating economic and social impact in different sectors. The event is also an opportunity to consolidate international relations and promote common resources development.

The Future is Open, central topic of this edition

2018 IODC sessions will focus on challenges and opportunities facing the open data community, under the title The Future is Open.

IODC organizers are committed to creating an inclusive and innovative event, including issues of concern to the international community. Therefore, the agenda will be created  through a global call for proposals, that search for inclusion of all voices achieve the greatest possible level of gender balance and regional diversity.

The call for porposals will be open between February 14 and April 1, 2018. A committee comprised of open data experts, including representatives of public and private organizations and academic institutions, will evaluate all submissions received.

Submissions should target one of three conference tracks:

• The Big Picture (45 minutes-1 hour): Panels and debates focused on the exploration of emerging trends and challenges. They can include topics related to privacy, gender, algorithms, Big Data, artificial intelligence or other emerging technologies.

• Action Track (45 minutes-1 hour): Sessions and workshops that allow for the exchange of information. This category includes interactive discussions, brainstorming sessions, cases studies or roundtables. Sessions should contribute to enrich international collaboration areas identified in previous conferences.

• Impact Track (10-15 minutes): Short and dynamic sessions that show concrete examples of open data use within the different sectors, such as agriculture, education, health or transport, among others.

It is important to mention that those proposals that identify specific challenges and promote the search for solutions through dialogue will have preference.  Proposals focused on gender issues that promote parity in participation, practices and processes will also highlight.

This year's conference will also highlight The State of Open Data initiative. This project focuses on the review of open data movement development during the last 10 years, with the aim of learning from errors and generating recommendations and good practices.

Madrid, headquarter of the previous edition

IODC previous edition took place in Madrid, on October 6 - 7, 2018. More than 1,600 attendees from a hundred countries visited  the Spanish capital to participate in some of the 87 sessions given by more than 300 experts.

You can read event conclusions in the following link:  IOCD Madrid 2016 conclusions.

The commitment to so-called smart cities is currently one of the major commitments to technological innovation in the public sector, especially in the local sphere. This type of initiative aims to address challenges to sustainability in the urban context and, through the advanced use of information and communication technologies, to optimise resources and make public services more efficient.

The report ‘Open Data and Smart Cities: an alternative legal perspective’ that we published on Datos.gob.es approaches the scope and legal analysis of data openness in this type of project. It is particularly important to provide legal security for the investments and efforts being made by both local governments and service providers and, in general, for the involvement of civil society in this field. As analysed in this report, the plurality of actors and services involved determines the diversity of legal standards in a context where information and communication technologies require interoperability.

Structured into five chapters, the report deals with Law as a tool to serve smart cities, the diversity of actors as a subjective element, the plurality of services involved in a technological context as an objective element, and the scope of the regulatory framework applicable to intelligent cities from the perspective of open data. This last section details the regulations on electronic Government, the legal provisions on transparency and access to public sector information, the legal provisions on the re-use of public sector information, and the legislation covering the protection of personal data.

In the fifth and final chapter, which focuses on the prominence of legal means, the report raises the need for paradigm shifts to drive open data in smart city projects. In particular, it advocates the promotion of a management model based on the foundation of Open Government at the municipal government level, using its legal powers and means. It also proposes a series of prerequisites required to allow the opening of data in smart cities in order to facilitate the re-use of the data generated.

In conclusion, the report ‘Open Data and Smart Cities: an alternative legal perspective’ refers to the need to be aware of the fragmentation of the existing regulatory framework and the challenge for local governments when making reasonable modifications to their own regulations and supporting effective leadership in order to offer value-added services based on their re-use according to the principles of open data.

Following initial contacts with Open Data and Smart Cities, the attendees at the International Open Data Conference enjoyed a second session dedicated to Open Data and Cities, moderated by Stephen Larrick from Sunlight Foundation, which gathered two experts from government bodies and two members of civil society to continue with the presentation of success cases worldwide.

It is estimated that 80% of Latin American population will live in cities in 2050. This demographic flow will arise new challenges in transport, education, waste management o housing, priority areas where open data can be a tool and response to those problems in future. The Inter-American Development Bank operates in this context, its representative Antonio Moneo was responsible for starting this panel describing the work of the IADB in the promotion of open data as the solution for current challenges in cities.

Within the different programs, the IADB helps and teaches towns in Latin America the potential of open data to face public problems and their possible impact to improve the life quality in urban areas. Thus, the Bank has helped Argentinian cities in their urbanistic planning, villages in Ecuador to manage natural disasters or Rio Janeiro in Brazil with the Zika epidemic. After all, according to Moneo’s words, in any process of information openness, the data are not the most important aspect, but the collaboration arose during the process to respond to specific necessities.

In the same continent, Eric Resee presented the project developed by the independent organization Bloomberg Philantrophics “What works cities: building capacity for open data in mid-sized cities”. An initiative within the Govex project which works with a network of 39 north american cities that lack of the necessary tools to re-use the open data in an efficient way. The entity helps those towns create sustainable open data programs that promote transparency and citizen participation. In this way, local governments would be able to incorporate data in their decision making to improve the operations in the city.

After his speech, it was local government representatives’ turn. Víctor Moran, from Zaragoza City Council, explained how the city’s open data portal works from the technical point of view and, lastly, Zira Rivera, coordinador of Smart-Dublin, showed the local initiative Dublinked, whose goal is promoting the development of innovative solutions based on open data, using the city as a test bed. Concurrently, this program plays two important roles: on one hand, it is an open data repository, published last march, with more than 300 datasets available for their re-use. And it is also a network that organizes regular events and activities to create an ecosystem for big and small companies, researches, public bodies and citizens interested in data.

In this regard, Zaira Rivera showed several projects such as DublinDashboard that provides visualizations based on open data from different sources or the funding program developed by the County Council to find solutions to road safety problems in the city, based on local open data.

After their speeches, an interesting discussion started where attendees had the opportunity to share their doubts with the experts. The global challenge that any Smart Cities addresses was highlighted: opening and bringing the accurate information for the specific needs of the citizen. Moreover, different methods to measure the impact of open data policies were analyzed showing how each project uses different performance indicators to assess its success.

In short, idea and knowledge sharing, real cases and, above all, commitment to build more intelligent and effective urban areas were the joint points of the community gathered at this session in the International Conference which, in its last edition, showed the good health of the Smart City and Open Data sector in the world.

Every day the need of information increases in urban areas. The cities are becoming sophisticated ecosystems that, using the technological advances, are able to respond to the demands which arise in sectors so diverse as transport, health, education, waste management or infraestructures. In this context, open data can help us understand and interact in a more sustainable and effective way with cities. The openness and re-use of local public information lets us know in real time the bus schedules, localize the nearest retail business or identify the best neighborhood to buy a house. The development of Smart Cities cannot be understood nowadays without open data.

On the occasion of the last International Open Data Conference, Madrid was the setting of different events that, along the week, analyzed the impact of open data in the cities. Within the program of activities previous to IODC, the Open Data Summit gathered the open data community in the Madrid’s exhibition centre Media-lab Prado in order to find solutions to the challenges of the Smart Cities related to open data policies, urbanism, environment and competitivity.

The Conference itself dedicated several sessions exclusively to this area such as the panel A global marketplace for city data or the meeting about the OjoalData100 initiative to harmonize datasets in Smart Cities. Concurrently, IODC organized two tables in the first day to show success cases around the world which prove the perfect couple formed by open data and smart cities. A large group of national and international experts showed the attendees projects aimed at promoting Smart Cities through open data.

Sergio Fdez Balaguer from Empresa Municipal de Transportes of Madrid was in charge of starting the first session, moderated by Jean-Noé Landry, executive director of Open Northe- Canadian Open Government Partnership Civil Society Network. With approximately 1.5 million passengers per day and more than 85 million kilometres driven per year, this public entity has its own open data portal since 2011; platform that, nowadays, has 800 developers registered and receives each month 35 million hits with data requests. Thanks to the change of mind and the commitment to information openness of EMT, till 40 official apps have been created by third parties. The expert also talked about the project Mobility Labs Madrid, an open and interoperable platform where users can publish and re-use data, promoting the information sharing between the citizens and the local body.

The British initiative MediaMill, presented by Andy Dickinson, also showed the potential of open data in the cities. Despite of UK is one of the open data leaders in the world, only 4% of the 18.000 datasets from the national catalogue belong to local governments. The goal of MediaMill project is promoting the development of open source and open data platforms in two specific regions in England: Leeds and York. This program identifies ways that local data can be transformed into media stories and visualizations that help citizens understand the environment in which they live, improving their quality of live and active participation.

The second international practice case comes from Asia. The success case, Jakarta Smart City  shown by Sinitra A. Punti proved how that platform uses the Information Technologies to empower the citizen, who re-uses and produces urban data, track the government activities and improve the public services in the city.

Lastly, Daniel Sarasa, responsible for Smart City division at Zaragoza City Council, explained to those present the role played by the Aragon’s capital in the international project  CITYKeys, whose aim is creating a methodology to assess and compare the Smart Cities policies in Europe. Sarasa took this opportunity to highlight the importance of maximising the local community talent to develop the Smart Cities through the citizen collaboration and the organization of events -such as hackathons- that gather the different stakeholders looking for innovative solutions based on open data.

All the examples shown in this session at IODC were just a small sampling of the potential offered by the binomial: open data and Smart Cities. Thanks to open data, it is possible to establish mechanisms of transparency and citizen participation, improving the interoperability between the public administrations and the society, and, increasing, as a result, the access to public sector information and the intelligence in the cities.  

Funded by the European Union HORIZON 2020 programme the CITYkeys project is an initiative to develop a performance evaluation system to assess the results of Smart City solutions across Europe. Several research institutes from Finland, Austria and the Netherlands cooperate with five cities -Rotterdam, Tampere, Vienna, Zagreb and Zaragoza- to define the needs, analyze existing results and help in the use of performance indicators to evaluate those solutions.

Thanks to this project, cities are expected to benefit from CITYkeys strategic planning and measurement of their progress towards Smart City goals, while responding to citizen’s needs and making clever use of local budgets. The aim of this initiative is to develop guidelines for data collections, create a performance system prototype, testing in case-cities and develop recommendations for decision-making and new business opportunities for both cities and business.

The European Commission has developed two parallel approaches to face and support the implementation of Smart Urban technologies: on one hand, creation of “lighthouse projects” (large scale demonstration of technology in cities and communities) and, in addition, 'horizontal activities' to address specific challenges (e.g. regulatory barriers, in standardisation, public procurement...). In both cases, CITYkey’s mission is to build a methodology for monitoring and comparability of the European cities activities during the implementation of Smart City solutions, based on the following key factors:

1. Extensive collaboration and communication with European cities;
2. Establish a baseline by analysis and integration of existing results from previous initiatives;
3. Develop a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) specific for Smart Cities initiatives evaluation and comparability;
4. Smart solutions for transparent and open data collection and processing.

Through this methodology, it is possible to monitor progress, to objectively verify the impacts of projects, to create trust in solutions and to enable stakeholders to learn from other projects in Europe. The calculation system uses 116 raw datasets, rigorously analysing the data source to verify their availability, reliability, data formats and the level of confidentiality. Through 2016, after the initiative launch last year, CITYKeys analyses the applicability of the data sets and the performance measurement framework in different European settings.

The five city partners will have a central role in CITYkeys not only because they have been the first cities to apply and assess the evaluation system but they have the expertise in Smart City policy making and in identification of business opportunities as in the case of the accelerator lab in Zaragoza, La Terminal which fosters local entrepreneurship or the Finnish city Tampere that organizes an annual event to plan and carry out the Smart City best strategies.

Together with this action plan, CITYkeys has published a report on the Smart City ecosystem in Europe. According to results of the study, two thirds of the surveyed cities claim to have a project underway in this area, mainly related to ICT, mobility and energy efficiency. In this way, the CITYKeys work helps drive the Smart City development in Europe. Its methodology and recommendations help the EU cities to continue progressing in technologies that make cities become more sustainable and smart. 

The relationship between Smart Cities and re-use of public sector information is unquestionable, as several reports have shown at both national and international level. From a legal perspective it is necessary to consider certain implications that will not only help resolve potential problems in advance but also facilitate the active participation of both society as a whole and those who use the different public and private services in this type of environment.

Therefore, it is essential to start from the technological reality of Smart City projects, which is characterized by the participation of many different service suppliers. Thus, in the first place we are dealing with municipalities, which have primary responsibility for public service management. This latter can be managed or controlled by local administrations themselves by means of various organisational formulae or by private companies selected through the channels contemplated by legislation on contracting in the public sector.

In addition, the demand for IT connectivity leads to telecommunication companies playing a major role as well as users thereof; with the difference from a legal point of view that it will often be a matter of objects and not people. Moreover, municipal activity is often based on technological services provided by private entities which provide platforms and tools according to the needs of eGovernment - records, files, dossiers... -  many of which are managed from the cloud (cloud computing).

For some years, there has been a growing demand that gives rise to a very significant impact from the perspective of social innovation on which technological innovation is based. In particular, any modernization initiative must be aligned with Open Government budgets of and, in particular, with a sound commitment to transparency according to technology standards that facilitate the re-use of information, strengthening both social participation at all stages and in all forms of public action - design, planning, execution, control...- and public-private collaboration. An equally important aspect but certainly more complex from the contractual perspective.

Taking all these issues into account, the aim of modernization in the management of Smart City projects cannot be raised for the sole purpose of complying with a certain law, as has been happening with the 2007 regulation on e-government and, perhaps, as could happen again with the reform proposed in October 2015 of the legal regime of the public sector and of common administrative procedure. This is a danger that, from the perspective of the re-use of information, presents a particularly important challenge as regards the implementation of the obligations deriving from the regulation on transparency, which could be simply limited to the creation of portals unconnected to the singularities claimed by any open data initiative.

In fact, the regulatory framework mentioned above does not take into account the peculiarities of Smart Cities. This leads to a number of dysfunctions and barriers that may end up becoming a brake on social, civic and business expectations for provision of services based on the re-use of information. In particular, it should be emphasized that municipal authorities are not the only entities that have to provide the data they have generated and managed in reusable formats, but that this requirement must be also extended at least to:

• Other public bodies such as national and regional administrations because otherwise fragmentation in some relevant sectors - culture, tourism, transport, environmental protection… - can become a nearly definitive obstacle.
• Public service suppliers which have to offer access to the information they manage directly and without local intermediation. It is imperative to overcome the constraints of the model established by the regulation on transparency for these cases as regards the obligation to provide information.
• Entities in charge of providing technological support to administrative management which are, after all, dealing with information owned by local administrations. Therefore it is the local authorities that have to establish the conditions for accessibility through the corresponding contractual documents.
• And, last but not least, the private stakeholders in charge of offering communication services who beyond any technical consideration carry out activities, commercial or not, that could be important depending on the sector the Smart City projects refer to.

This last requirement as regards the private sector is, without doubt, an important innovation, because, from the perspective of the subjective scope of those rules, its participation is not even contemplated.

Therefore, this shows the need to adopt a broader approach than simple compliance with the legislation in order to be truly committed to modernization - it would be more precise to say innovation - of the services delivered to society, in this case for the purpose of Smart Cities.

Consequently, in an environment where different stakeholders may have very different and possibly conflicting interests, access to information should not only be considered without restrictions but also on a basis of equality for all regardless of their legal status and nationality, thus complying with the demanding regulation on exclusive rights introduced by the European Union after the reform in 2013. Otherwise the minimum conditions will not exist for Smart Cities to be really open.

In a context conditioned by an excessively regulatory and inflexible view such as exists in many administrative areas, an unavoidable question arises: Are we really prepared to face these challenges?

The Spanish thematic network on Open Data and Smart Cities was created in December 2014, an initiative fostered by research groups, technology centers, public administrations and private companies. On Thursday of this week, the network is hosting a meeting (12.00 to 14.00 pm) in Medialab-Prado center (in Madrid), where the project’s objectives will be presented, followed by a discussion panel about the open data challenges in Smart Cities. To access to this free event, you need to fill out an online registration form. In case you cannot attend the meeting, it can be followed via Twitter.

Lately, on occasion of the International Open Data Day, the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (UPV) organizes for the first time an opendathaton, a contest to promote the re-use of open data within the Valencian academic community. The application deadline is 29 February, due date to send the projects based on the re-use of open data.

The opendatathon is aimed at university students and five finalists will be selected in three different categories: best history about data, best data exploring tool and best data prediction app. Apart from that, there is an special award (Premio Cátedra Ciudad de Valencia UPV) dedicated to those projects which re-use the information of Valencia’s open data portal related to:

• Design of urban routes accessible for disabled citizens from Valencia's suburbs. 
• Design of applications that localize areas with lower health status; helping public administrations take measures to redress the situation. 
• Design of geospatial solutions to improve cycle paths in town.

Submission can be either by an individual or a group and shall be sent through a web form. Each project will attach an explanatory summary, including the reused datasets, the information resources, procedures and the languages/frameworks.
