Main challenges
Not unified data structures Storing big data Multiple languages Fragmentation in thousands of sources
Technical
Legal
Cultural
Licensing Business model(s) Inexpensive Conflict Resolution
Open data awareness among Authorities
Our real challenge
Unlocking the data
NOT the right approach
Euroalert approach to unlocking data
Formal request addressed to data holder
Sometimes presentation of the objectives
License agreement signature
and sometimes complaint placement :(
Data re-use of new source within 10ders IS
Upgrade of current products
What does Euroalert suggest to data holders?What does Euroalert suggest to data holders?
No need to invest much at first Any data structure is ok if it's slightly documented Update timely according to reliable criteria License for commercial exploitation Automatic download (URIs, API, WS, even email attach)
Release whatever format is convenient, later on you can improve
Machine readable – RAW DATA – Any format is OK PDF or HTML is not enough
Re-users will invest if there's value
