Session 4:
Boundless Data
This session is
directed towards two groups: one consists of all those who own or use data
in their key processes in public road administrations, the other of private
companies that intend to develop services and products utilizing existing
public data in the transport sector.
The starting point is the fundamental role of road, traffic and vehicle data
in transport systems and services, for information as well as operations.
Public road administrations are responsible for these data; they can also be
used by other public and private actors and the public. We give a view of
what "boundless data" means and how data can be shared, if there is an open
interface. The session points out op-portunities and needs for sharing data
between organizations, actors and countries. Cases show the benefits of
sharing, what conditions private enterprise have for being able to use the
data and what other demands there are.
One might ask whether such "boundless data" are needed, or whether public
administrations have a choice? Another questions is what is needed? The EU
2003/98 directive and the Inspire directive take up sharing and re-use of
public information. Many road administrations develop strategies for
responding to these directives and prepare the work to make their data
available for re-use. The Danish Road Direc-torate will give us some answers
on this.
The Nordic Road Association section 11 Chair Liv Nordbye introduces
the theme with reference to her Master's thesis in Business Administration
at the East London University and an excerpt from the presentation "Managing
public data - choices and challenges", held at the ITS World Congress in
Beijing in October 2007.
Three business cases are presented:
• Maria Jernbäcker, project manager at Combitech company, Sweden,
presents the research and collaboration project Smart mobile travel guide,
using data from many sources.
• Rune Haddal, director at the Norwegian Norkart A/S, presents the
WEB-Atlas web service, using geographical data on the basis of 12
different contracts
• Heikki Halttula, director of Vianova Systems Finland Oy, presents
the risks and possible savings for boundless data transmission
between public organizations and different countries.
Anne Kjölhede Revald from the Danish Road Directorate presents the
administration's implementation of the Inspire Directive and the Directive
on the Re-use of Public Information as part of the Strategy for a digital
Danish Road Directorate.
