DataBridges

“DataBridges: Data Integration for Digital Cities” is a 2011-2012 activity within the “Digital Cities of the Future” action line of the EIT ICT Labs KIC. The participating sites (with site leaders in parenthesis) are:

  • Aalto University, Finland (Marko Turpeinen)
  • Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, France (Hakim Hacid)
  • DataPublica, France (François Bancilhon)
  • DFKI, Germany (Inessa Seifert, Daniel Sonntag)
  • KTH, Sweden (Hannes Ebner)
  • Inria Saclay, France (Ioana Manolescu, activity lead)
  • Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands (Geert-Jan Houben)
  • Université de Paris Sud, France (Chantal Reynaud)

This page describes the advancement of the project in 2012. The earliest results carry over from our previous year (2011).

  • December 13-14, 2012: an activity workshop is held in TU Delft, organized by J. Hidders.
    • Alexandra Roatis, “Warehousing RDF Graphs”
    • Zied Sellami, “Enrichment of Points of Interest on Social Data”
    • Dominikus Heckmann, “Support Social Transportation with Linked Open Data”
    • Jan Hidders, “RDFGears: integrating, transforming and publishing RDF data”
  • September 17-22, 2012: KTH (Hannes Ebner et al.) co-organized a stream on Open Knowledge and Sustainability at the Open Knowledge Festival in Helsinki. In this context, a two-day Green Hackathon was also held. Link to EIT web site.
  • May 20, 2012: the workshop Scalable Workflow Enactment Engines and Technologies (SWEET’12) is held next to the SIGMOD conference in Arizona, USA. Jan Hidders (TU Delft) is a co-chair.
  • April 16, 2012: the workshop “Mining Social Network Data” is held next to the WWW 2012 conference in Lyon. Hakim Hacid is a co-chair.
  • April 12, 2012: the workshop “Linked Open Data and Social Web for Personalization in Digital Cities” is organized as a meeting between the Delft and Paris participants.
    Here you can find the workshop report.
  • March 30, 2012: Zoi Kaoudi (Inria and Paris-Sud) presents our work on cloud-based management of RDF data at the “Data Analytics in the Cloud” workshop next to EDBT 2012.
  • March 28, 2012: a telephonic kick-off is scheduled at 4 pm on March 28.
  • March 20-21, 2012: the Big Data congress was held in Paris. François Bancilhon (DataPublica) and Ioana Manolescu (Inria and Paris Sud) are among the speakers, in particular discussing open data (F. Bancilhon) and scalable techniques for handling large data volumes (I. Manolescu).
  • March 19, 2012: a workshop was held at the Paris CLC for the Digital Cities of the Future action line. Participants from DataBridges were: Andrés Aranda-Andújar (Inria),  Nathalie Pernelle, Gianluca Quercini, Chantal Reynaud, Fatiha Sais and Brigitte Safar (Université de Paris Sud), Geert-Jan Houben (TU Delft), Dominikus Heckmann, Inessa Seifert and Daniel Sonntag (DFKI) and Maria Laura Maag (Alcatel). François Bancilhon from DataPublica was also in the co-location center and we discussed briefly.
    • We have presented the main results of our 2011 activity (slides), as well as the two joint integrated demos (below)
    • The RDFGears-RDFViewS demo was made on the digital cities data produced by Paris Sud during the activity in 2011.
  • March 2012: a joint demo between DFKI and  TU Delft is online. It demonstrates different clustering approaches to generate Regions of Interest (DFKI) as well as integration of a web-service (TU Deflt) that provides information on cultural events in the selected area.
  • March 2012: a joint demo between Inria and TU Delft has been finalized. It enables RDFGears (RDF dataflow tool from TU Delft) to take advantage of the RDF storage optimizations brought by RDFViewS, a storage tuning wizard developed by Inria and Paris Sud.
  • January 2012: a joint demo between Paris Sud and DFKI is online. It showcases facetted browsing (DFKI tool) on digital city data enriched by U. Paris Sud with geographic information.
