TR272 City as a Platform Architecture and Supporting Capabilities R17.0.1

The City as a Platform and the Data Economy have the objective to guide cities on the process of data monetization using a platform approach. This report sets out to bring a set of capabilities and their architecture to make such data monetization viable.

Cities are keen to organize and deliver their data as open data. But in a city there are a great many private and public services generating data in real time. The IoT is becoming part of the citizen’s life and citizens themselves are generating lots of data. It is not enough to share static data. The city needs to share all the data and take this opportunity to provide new business models and innovations. The objective of this report is to define a conceptual platform architecture with the business logic to act as a data hub to be provided by a city.
