Open Urban Data Platform as a centralised solution for the efficient use of your municipal data: [ui!] UrbanPulse

In the wake of demographic change and advancing digitalisation, citizens' demands on quality of life are increasing.

Cities and municipalities are facing the challenge of becoming more sustainable and service-orientated. The open urban data platform [ui!] UrbanPulse offers a centralised solution for this.

It combines data, information and knowledge from complex municipal systems to create new services and added value for citizens, municipal companies and other organisations. This digital infrastructure integrates existing and new types of infrastructure, data storage and services from the public and private sectors and forms the basis for a large number of data-driven use cases and future urban projects.

In December 2017, the German Institute for Standardisation (DIN) adopted "DIN SPEC 91357 - Reference Architecture Model Open Urban Platform (OUP)" as a specification standard. This reference architecture, which was developed with the participation of companies, local authorities and academia, serves as a recognised template for the development of integrated digital smart city solutions. Digitalisation enables municipalities to better understand and overcome new challenges with the help of data collected via sensors and similar technologies.

The Open Urban Data Platform acts as a central link between different systems. It enables the efficient management, control and utilisation of urban data and offers the opportunity to make this data available to third parties, the economy and society.

What happens to the data

The value of data and its potential uses depend to a large extent on its "degree of refinement". While raw data merely represents an unorganised mass of data from which no direct conclusions can yet be drawn, structured data as information already lays the foundation for further data analyses.

These analyses ultimately result in concrete knowledge that forms the basis for new innovative services. This knowledge gain creates significant added value for citizens, municipal companies and other organisations.

By refining the data with the open urban data platform [ui!] UrbanPulse, data is efficiently collected, structured and analysed in order to enable more liveable and sustainable urban development and to be able to react to challenges in a targeted manner and continuously improve their services.

Your data always remains under your control!

As the owner of large volumes of urban data, you should organise your data sovereignty using an integrated, open and real-time-capable data platform including analysis tools. This gives you an overview of all your data and its utilisation at all times. Existing and new urban data can be used to create new added value and added value for your citizens.

Fazit: Mehrwert und Arbeitserleichterung entstehen nicht nur durch den Einsatz neuer Softwarefunktionen, sondern durch innovative und smarte Arbeitsweisen.
