Smart Cities…

•Smart city is a journey – not a destination

•Ireland has an opportunity – •Smart Country…

How do we know when we are there?

• A broadband infrastructure • widely available and affordable to all

• Applications and services in areas • such as Transport, safety, health, education and economy

• An interconnection between and across Agencies and Communities • through a Standardised Integrated service architecture

• A platform for innovation (data and information services) • promotes the development of new applications and services

The World has changed…

How much is capable of being used?

How Much Data do you create?

It knows more about you than your partner…

So far ICT has not fundamentally changed government

• 1990s: lCT expected to make government more transparent, efficient and user oriented

• 2005+: disillusion as bureaucracy still in existence

• Is Open Data / smart city the answer?

Standards across Local Government…

(es)

Local Government Portal

• Standards • Service Catalogue – How can we

present data together if it isn’t the same service?

• Ontology – Produce Open Data (RDFa) for Standard Entities

• People, Services, Events, Locations, etc

• Reuse Information across the Sector • FixYourStreet • CheckTheResister

• Data • Data.Localgov.ie • Gis Data / Inspire

• Shervice Catalogue • Open Data

• CRM

• GIS

• Knowledge Management

• Content Management Systems

• Online Services

Big Data in Local Government

• Traffic / Transport

• Water

• Weather

• Mapping and Location of Assets

What is Data Interoperability?

The ability to exchange information between and among public bodies

cross discipline, cross jurisdiction, cross sector.

Assumptions: 1. Exchanges would benefit one or more agencies

2. Philosophy of “need to know” is replaced by “responsibility to provide”

Potential Scenarios

Weather Incidents

Flooding Accidents

Local Government Evolution

Still need Common Sense

What has Cloud ever done for us?

Apart from Scale, Speed, Agility, Low Cost, Enterprise Adoption, Enterprise Mapping, Open Data, Standards, Google, API’s, etc Open Street Maps, Map Servers,

Telephony, Cloud Expansion etc

Drivers – Open Data

Drivers – Personal Productivity

More and more connected things..

Challenges

• Technical • Billions of

• devices

• Data

• users

• Issue with • Power consumption

• Computation, complexity, cost

Our Issues …

• Interoperability

• Evolving Standards, requirements, etc

• Stability, universality

• Security

• Privacy

• Trust

Everyone’s Challenge

• The Cloud vs. Local Autonomy

• Quantity of Information

• Security of Information

• Latency and Routing

• Mapping and Displaying Information

• Ontology and Discovery

• Fusion and adding value

• Power (always on - to mostly off)

GOVERNMENT MUST CHANGE ADAPT

THINK AND ACT DIFFERENTLY

How to deal with Lots of data

• 7TB a Day for Twitter…

• 10,000 CD’s

• 5m Floppy

• 225GB during this talk…

• How do you Store that…

• HD Write Speed- 80mb/s…

• 24.3 Hrs to write 7TB….

• Government Thinking is not in this space.. Yet..

Citizen Expectation Changed?

Social Media

Are we there yet?

• Services based on Aggregation of data from Multiple Authorities

• Services based on data from multiple sensors

• Services based on making it easier to play with our stuff..
