Looking forward to attending this event in the week ahead. At Platformable, we have worked with multilateral organisations and global industry private enterprises, community-based organisations and industry associations to map and foster #opendata and #digitalecosystems. There has never been a greater need for these conversations and collaborative work to expand global digital public goods infrastructure, develop policies and regulations that help markets grow, and encourage more nuanced relationship-building in ecosystems where we sometimes compete, sometimes collaborate, draw on trust frameworks, and always coordinate on #interoperability and #standards.

🌟 We are excited to kick off day two of the Data Governance & Master Data Management Conference Europe 2024 with our Plenary Keynote session: "Bridging the Data Divide with Data Governance: A Renewed Priority and Mission" by our esteemed speaker HoChun Ho, Vice President of Enterprise Data Governance at CBRE. In today's digital age, data stands as a powerful asset shaping innovation, decision-making, and growth. However, the existence of a 'data divide'—unequal access and understanding of this vital resource—persists across corporations, societies, and nations. HoChun Ho delves into the critical role of data governance in addressing this divide. Explore how data governance can enhance accessibility, foster literacy, reduce bias, and unlock the full potential of AI/ML initiatives. Drawing on real-world insights and case studies, HoChun Ho will provide actionable strategies to champion data governance and bridge the data divide. Don't miss this enlightening keynote session as we navigate the evolving landscape of data governance together.

Public sector bodies generate vast amounts of #Data, often called public sector information or government data. This data is a valuable resource for various stakeholders, including #researchers, #entrepreneurs, and policymakers. It is essential to ensure open access to unlock its economic and societal benefits. The #OpenData Directive and the European Commission Implementing Regulation were established to address the challenges hindering the use of these high-value datasets. Check out our new article to learn key information about high-value #datasets, including what they are and how you can access them effectively. ⌨ https://lnkd.in/d6zNCuWB Stay in the loop and subscribe to our newsletter to receive all the latest updates, event news, and opportunities to be involved.

I'm happy I joined the discussion panel about making money from sharing data/services in the FAME project. During the panel and the symposium, we saw that the real problem is spreading knowledge. We have the technology, but companies need to understand the value of their data. We need to help them see how their data can become profitable without losing ownership. I believe we should focus less on just the data and more on the services that can come from it. This will help us overcome the issues we talked about, like companies saying: "We have loads of data but don't know what to do with it." "We have too much data and not enough people to manage it." Instead, we should ask, "What valuable services can you offer with your data?" These services could include things like analysis, AI,LLM,ML, synthetic data, or using data for different purposes. It's important that the data and services meet high standards, follow European rules, and ensure fair treatment of the owners. To do this, we need common rules and "language" (semantic and syntactic) for using data and DataSpaces can help with this. This is, for me, our main challenge.
