Workshop for NMCAs – European Core Data & Services for European Data Spaces
Event Navigation
GeoE3-project, Location Innovation Hub, EuroGeographics and EuroSDR are organising a workshop together for European NMCAs. It will take place in Brussels as a physical event.
Location data has a huge potential - but we need to take the next step together to deploy this potential. We need to integrate location data with other data, work on data interoperability and improve data quality. Data must also be available through API’s.
The workshop focused on:
- How could NMCAs’ data and services become a part of the European data spaces?
- How could we work together improving data management, services, and data integration with other data?
- How can we take European data strategy with High Value Datasets into consideration and how to create Core Data Services for European data spaces based on High Value Datasets?
In this workshop we:
- showed viable and interesting examples from the GeoE3-project and our platform (geoe3platform.eu) on how to establish data integration and improve data management and services,
- discussed about establishing a stronger European Core Data Provider network together,
- introduced how Location Innovation Hub created in Finland as part of the European Digital Innovation Hubs could be used as a facilitator for European Core Data Provider network,
- looked at financing opportunities (Green Deal and other Digital Europe funding opportunities) and what is needed next: how to address for example Gaia-X, data security and how to engage other communities.
Our goals were:
- To enlarge and develop European Core Data Provider Network
- To support creating a European/National Dataspaces
- To discuss how we could proceed together
The agenda of the workshop is available here.
