Frictionless Data Meetup === <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cividi/planet/master/src/assets/images/logo/cividi_logo_square_purple.png" height=100>&nbsp;&nbsp;**+**&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://frictionlessdata.io/img/frictionless-color-full-logo.svg" height=100> 25.6.2020 ---  [SmartUse](https://github.com/smartuse) / [Gemeindescan](https://gemeindescan.ch) / [Streetwise](https://github.com/streetwise) / ... = [Cividi](https://datahub.io/cividi) --- #### [Cividi GmbH](https://cividi.ch) Originally project [Smartuse](https://mkz.smartuse.ch), founded by an Urban Design architect, Open Data engineer and a researcher in Spatial Transformation. Today: we are a funded civic tech startup working on a Municipal Open Data Platform and Service, Mobility and Urban Design projects. See cividi.ch --- #### [Gemeindescan](https://gemeindescan.ch)... ...is an [open source project](https://bitbucket.org/cividi/gemeindescan-webui/) to enable small to big municipalities and regions to get started in understanding and using spatial data for decision making processes. The project implements Data Packages, Data Flows, and open GIS tools. --- #### [Streetwise](https://streetwise.space)... ...is an [open source project](https://github.com/streetwise) developed by Oleg with our partner [IVO](https://io-ag.ch) in Lucerne and data scientists from University of Fribourg. We are reproducing research based on Mapillary's open data aimed at understanding how pedestrians and unmotorized road users perceive safety and comfort in every day street situations. --- ### Why Frictionless Data for Urban Planning? The planning/architecture/goverment world relies on versioned documents. Current "solution" for this in reality: PDFs, often rasterized for maps and other data based graphics. Our goal is to **make (spatial) data traceable, portable and reliable.** --- ### How we use CKAN Opendata.swiss and other portals we :heart: & :boom: - CH Federal Portal [opendata.swiss](https://opendata.swiss), e.g. cadastral surveys across Switzerland - City Portal like data.stadt-zuerich.ch, with mobility data, 3D city models - data.SBB.ch (national rail provider) / opentransportdata.ch - and many more --- ### How we use Data Packages From GitLab to Bitbucket via Goodtables & lots of :sparkles: Examples: - [Swiss municipalities list](https://datahub.io/cividi/ch-municipalities) - [The Gemeindescan Snapshot Spec](https://bitbucket.org/cividi/gemeindescan-sample/src/master/) - Embedded styled GeoJSON resources - View Spec for map, legend and metadata rendering - Live example: https://gemeindescan.ch/de/M136FK/ --- ### How we use DataFlows Automation for the win. Example workflow scenarios: - Data import and processing from our partners like Swisscom - Collecting/Scraping of public data not organized on portals (e.g. commercial register, traffic counters, etc.) - Importing from CKAN portals / exporting to PostGIS databases (to work in a shared QGIS setup) - Dream-in-progress: a "no code" visual tool to work with DataFlows --- ### How we (plan) to use DataHub datahub.io/cividi :rocket: - Public data sets curated by cividi (e.g. [Swiss Municpalities](https://datahub.io/cividi/ch-municipalities)) - Client project data - As part of our Gemeindescan publication pipeline - Open data contributions, e.g. via datahub.io/opendatach --- ### Frictionless = Enabling ! Vision: Open, accessible and standardized spatial data on local energy, mobility, land use and infrastructure - for every municipality! - to enable a holistic data-driven planning approach as a key to a sustainable and livable future in our built environment. Next steps: Set up a point-of-contact and portal for sharing urban data in Switzerland. --- ### Frictionless = Decentralized ! The origin, collection and storage of data are critically discussed in Switzerland. We are part of the data ownership / open interfaces debate, e.g. at Opendata.ch/2020 - and are keen to use the FD standards and ecosystem to enable a wide variety of contributors and maintainers. We are also exploring the use of decentralized funding platforms like OpenCollective. --- ### Frictionless = Explainable ! SmartUse was the beginning of a journey to introduce transparency into the increasingly digitized process of urban planning. - [Cividi Whitepaper](https://bitbucket.org/cividi/whitepaper/src/master/) - [SmartUse Labs](https://mkz.smartuse.ch/labs) - Inspiration: [Google Cards](https://modelcards.withgoogle.com/about) --- ### Frictionless = Open ! As a participant of the Open Data movement, we are committed to the opening and improvement of data resources and technologies - for better and more efficient urban projects in Switzerland and worldwide. We support and organize hackathons with a focus on spatial and urban data. Next: **Smart City Lab**, November 13-14 <img src="https://opendata.ch/wp-content/themes/opendata/images/OpenData.ch-Logo.png" height=100>&nbsp;&nbsp;**+**&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="https://frictionlessdata.io/img/frictionless-color-full-logo.svg" height=100>
