TS01J: OPEN DATA INITIATIVES AND PERSPECTIVES IN SIM [10589]

Commission: 3
Chair: Prof. Yerach Doytsher, Israel
Rapporteur: Prof. Pietro Grimaldi, Italy


Cities and people - mainly those who live in developing countries - are increasingly looking for ways to innovate to make their cities more livable. Among the strategies that are becoming ever common is the sharing of anonymized open data and leveraging open-source software as low-cost alternatives in contributing to increased economic development, as well as resilience in planning and service provision. While there have been various efforts in leveraging open data, this has largely been on experimental basis in the developing economies and mainly in the land administration sector only. This technical session will focus on open data initiatives, open-source software and community-based initiatives and contributions within SIM to address urbanization problems.

Guiding Questions for Discussions:

• Open data and SDG - what else is required?
• Is open data open?
• Future trends in providing and using open data?
