Project Manager Ville MeloniForum Virium Helsinki
Re-use of PSI workshop – 23 November 2011
HRI - Project Overview
09.04.23 Forum Virium Helsinki 2
“Making regional information quickly and easily accessible to all. The information can be used freely at no cost”
To develop a network of
information owners who maintain and
open their data following common
guidelines.
To build a web service through
which the data can be easily found, accessed and
utilised.
Provide information as machine readable ”raw data” which is easy to
utilize in various applications and web-services.
To pilot an open data activity model and its implications to both the
producers and end users of the data.
Timeline, financing, implementation
09.04.23 Forum Virium Helsinki 3
Collaboration with many different organisations to open data i.e. government, other municipalities, municipal organizations, etc.
Financing•Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen•Finnish innovation fund (Sitra)•Ministry of Finance
Implementation•Directive board
•City of Helsinki Urban Facts
•Forum Virium Helsinki
Timeline2010-2012 (pilot)
2012- (on-going function)
Collaboration between data producers and developers using that data!
Why open data ?
• Government efficiency
• Business and innovation
• Transparency and democracy
What data is opened ?
1. Statistics and estimates– Urban phenomenon: demographics,
employment, housing, commuting, etc.– Geographical granularity: municipal,
district, grid-level, etc.
2. Geospatial data– Data that supports presentation of
statistical and other data on a map, i.e. district-level shapefiles.
3. Other data– Public services, mass-transportation,
infrastructure related data, etc.

UTILISATION DISTRIBUTIONOPENING PRODUCTION
PHASED APPROACH
”Easy to find, access and utilize data”
•Maintaining of the metadata. Actual data is hosted elsewhere.•A channel for data users to give feedback and request new data.•Brings visibility to existing data pools and encourages more usage.
Open for all: companies, citizends, municipal administration, research institutions, etc.

semantic.hri.fi – experimenting with linked open data (lod) and statistics
• Experimental service. Includes Helsinki metropolitan area statistics in a semantic RDF-database. Source statistics from www.aluesarjat.fi (PC-Axis).
• To pilot and understand the possibilities of lod and statistical data in terms of compatibility and linkages to external data sources.
• Application programming interfaces aimed for developers who are interested in using statistical data for various applications and analysis.
• SPARQL ja HTTP GET interfaces.
• Example applications.

Project focus areas 2011• Further development of the www.hri.fi service
• Establishing the HRI-function (people, processes, guidelines, etc.)
• More open data, better open data, wider scope of open data, inter-usability of data!
• Encouraging the usage of the data, application competitions for developers, co-operation with companies, universities, etc. that want to use it. Apps4Finland2011 (apps4finland.fi). IBM Smarter Cities Challenge in Helsinki. Preparing for WDC Helsinki 2012.
• National and international co-operation related especially to: legal issues, operational best-practices and metadata interoperability.

Use of open data – some HRI observationsComplementing existing services with open data•Re-use of PSI is not a new phenomenon, but taking new forms -> adding value to existing service companies and their customers -> more value with less cost
Emergence of mobile app ecosystem -> birth of B2C mobile apps•Quick to develop, quick to market, simple use cases
B2B & open data – arising opportunities largely untapped market for SMEs -> SME’s are waking up to this -> public sector among target customers, i.e. E-services offerings
TRUST IS IMPORTANT FOR DEVELOPER-USERS – INCLUDES ACCESS/SLA
