Dear partners,

OpenData initiative
Last years, Open data initiatives have emerged, and are now available in several countries/cities. This initiative consists in opening and sharing the public data of a country/city. The genesis of those initiatives comes from the acknowledgement that cities or more generally public administrations store a large amount of data, which belongs indeed to citizens. This data is used to accomplish the missions of administrations. It was originally restricted to administration usage because it was on physical media stored in archive rooms. But with the help of new digital technologies, this limit is deprecated. Opening the public data to the web meet the requirements of transparency, and in addition can be reused by citizens to develop added-value services and applications. Governments and municipalities across Europe are starting programs to tackle this initiatives, but many aspects could be enhanced with SITAC ecosystem:

• more dynamic data sources
• standard ways to share a connected device
• monetize device and data sharing for advanced usages
• privacy of data and connected objects

Open-data initiatives are in scope of crowd based application and will be followed during the project.
