Unlocking Potential with MELODIES: Innovating Open Data for Business and Science

MELODIES (Maximizing the Exploitation of Linked Open Data in Enterprise and Science) is a collaborative project involving 16 partners across 8 EU countries and a budget of €6.7M. Launched on November 1, 2013, it aims to showcase the benefits of releasing data openly for both business and scientific applications. By integrating multiple open data streams and utilizing linked data and the semantic web, MELODIES develops innovative environmental services and sustainable approaches to data exploitation. It seeks to stimulate the release of more open data through evidence-based recommendations.

  1. Innovating with Open Datahttp://melodiesproject.eu Jon Blower University of Reading Project coordinator

  2. MELODIES overview • Maximizing the Exploitation of Linked Open Data In Enterprise and Science • 3 years, started 1st November 2013 • 16 partners in 8 EU countries • €6.7M budget • Aims to demonstrate the business and scientific benefits of releasing data openly • Responds to European Open Data Strategy • Sister project of SWITCH-ON and SmartOpenData

  3. Objectives • To combine multiple open data streams to develop innovative environmental services; • To apply Linked Data and Semantic Webapproaches to enhance the services and generate new knowledge; • To deliver reusable technologythat facilitates the exploitation of open data; • To ensure that the services are sustainable beyond the lifetime of the project; • To demonstrate the value of open data and stimulate the release of more open data by data providers.

  4. The MELODIES services

  5. Shared Technology Platform • “Sandboxes” for development and testing • Data staging for shared datasets • Scalable, parallel data processing • Management of Geospatial Linked Data • Visualization and mapping • Data publishing through open Web Services Reusing developments from GeoWOW, GENESI-DEC, TELEIOS, GeoViQua, MyOcean, more…

  6. Some technologies we are using • Terraduecloud platform and sandbox environment • Building on GeoWOW • Strabon database for geospatial Linked Data • Building on TELEIOS • Web Mapping, OGC web services and portal tools • Building on MyOcean, GeoViQua, more…

  7. Sustainability • Dedicated workpackage looking at sustainability issues: • Economic/financial • Technical • Legal • Examines changes in the Open Data landscape • Examines potential of services to expand beyond initial geographic boundaries • Provides evidence-based recommendations back to policymakers regarding open data policies

  8. How it all fits together

  9. Conclusions • Project aims to demonstrate that releasing data openly leads to strong commercial and scientific exploitation • A key challenge is to combine diverse sources of Open Data • Earth Observation • Modelling and forecasting • Socioeconomic/government data • We have only just started – please keep in touch!
