Towards EU big data economy Kimmo Rossi European Commission Big Data Paris 4 April 2013 EUROPEAN COMMISSION The Communication Networks, Content & Technology Directorate General (DG CONNECT) Directorate G - Media and Data G1: Converging Media and Content G2: Creativity G3: Data Value Chain G4: Inclusion, Skills and Youth G5: Administration and Finance Data in the Digital Agenda for Europe • Open data strategy • Publicly funded data should be available for all to use: unused potential of 40 billion EUR a year • Statistics, geo-information, companies registers, legal information, publicly funded research data • Data is everywhere (smart cities, cloud, eHealth etc.) "Data Value Chain" vision Create social and economic added value based on the intelligent use, management and re-use of data sources in Europe. This will lead to: • - increased business intelligence and efficiency of private and public sectors • - world class applications • - new business opportunities involving SMEs Open data strategy - Modification of the Directive on the re-use of public sector information: broader scope, right of re-use - Open data portals: EC open data portal beta available (www.open-data.europa.eu) - LOD2 project: http://publicdata.eu - Reuse of research publications & data: Commission communication July 2012: towards open research data Open Data - Respect privacy! Big Data and Research, the context What has changed? The 4 V's: Volume, Velocity, Variety, Value Different dimensions of the data value-chain • Data lifecycle: production, use, storage/preservation • Added value: data validation, aggregation and preprocessing, analysis and visualisation, added-value services (e.g. decision support systems, apps) Is there a European data industry? Funding Big Data in EU programmes Past: FP7 Call 8 – Objective 4.4 "Intelligent information management" – closed 17/01/2012 – 50 MEUR Current: FP7 Call 11 – Objective 4.2 "Scalable data analytics" – closes 16/04/2013 – 31 MEUR Future: Horizon 2020 – Big and smart Data – Work programme 2014-15 under preparation Funding Big Data in FP7 (past) FP7 Call 8 – Objective 4.4 "Intelligent information management" – closed 17/01/2012 – 50 MEUR - 17 projects Some examples of funded projects: BIG - Big Data Public Private Forum AXLE - Advanced Analytics for EXtremely Large European Databases BIOASQ - A challenge on large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering GEOKNOW - Making the Web an Exploratory place for Geospatial Knowledge LINKEDUP - Linking Web Data for Education Project MEDIAMIXER - Community set-up and networking for the reMIXing of online MEDIA fragments NEWSREADER - Building structured event indexes of large volumes of financial and economic data for decision making SEMAGROW - Data intensive techniques to boost the real-time performance of global agricultural data infrastructures Funding Big Data in FP7 (current) ICT-2013.4.2 Scalable data analytics • Budget: 31M€ - Deadline 16 April 2013 • Novel algorithms, fast-growing data types (e.g. 3D, genomics), non-traditional database architectures • 2020 roadmap for hardware optimizations for data analytics • 2020 roadmap for societal aspects (data markets, reuse, personal data privacy) Outlook - Horizon 2020 • Roadmap-based research • Integration of research & innovation to maximise impact • Big & smart data as an element in the Industrial leadership (research & innovation) • Smart = make sense of the (big) data, e.g. by deep analysis, language technology • Data cutting across Societal challenges Conclusion • ‘Big and smart' data has the future • Share, collect, make sense & deliver • Applications and services + re-use • Open data strategy: towards a better use of publicly funded data in Europe • Build a European data ecosystem Thank you!
