- 3. Open data What is it and why does it matter? Facts and evidence to enable public, voluntary and private sector organisations to: • Provide better local services for people – through planning and targeting for specific local priorities and needs. • Support strong communities where people feel they belong – through services that are more open, transparent and accountable to local residents and communities. • Secure cost-savings and efficiencies for public sector organisations and partnerships. • Support businesses to grow and create jobs – through developing local economies, and secure economic growth. • A means to unlock facts and evidence held in different organisational and system silos, and thus realise the benefits above. • Ensuring that data can be used in new, innovative ways by new audiences including local residents, communities and businesses. Data Open Data The prize is a web of data, where local and national sources from many organisations can be quickly and easily brought together and re-used in a wide range of ways.

- Good morning, and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak with you today about open data. My name is Mark Braggins. I am Business Development Manager within Hampshire County Council’s Research and Intelligence Unit. I lead the Geodata and Information Projects team, and am leading the Hampshire Hub Programme on behalf of the Partnership.
- I’d like to spend the next 15-20 minutes talking about open data, and why I think it is important in a local context.
- This is a slide put together by Steve Peters of the DCLG I won’t read out what’s on the slide. In the context of public services decision-making, we need facts and evidence to support those decisions Open data is lifting that data above traditional silos and making it available to everyone, including our own staff! It’s about so much more than transparency. I’ll come back to the point about using data in new, innovative ways, later
- I’m going to show you a short recording of what is called Geo Selector on the DCLG’s Open Data Communities site I ‘m selecting both the geography and data at random I will begin with a map view, and then zoom in to the level of geography I'm interested in. In this example I'm going with district, but I could have just as easily selected LSOA {talk through the video} Hopefully that demonstrates how easy it can be for a non-technical user to select a place or places and then choose data from a wide variety of sources. This greatly reduces the amount of time required to gather and assemble data in to a usable form The Hampshire Hub will have something very similar to what I just showed you If organisations across the land release data using the same standards and schemas, it should be possible to “hoover up” open data and present it through tools like this.
- Chris Gutteridge of the University of Southampton did just that where different universities just release a file in an agreed format with an agreed name and Chris’ utility scoops it up This relatively simple technology enables searching across all published UK research equipment databases through one aggregation “portal”, allowing greater accessibility with the aim to improve efficiency and stimulate greater collaboration in the sector. The simplest allowed contribution is for you to publish a spreadsheet on your .ac.uk website containing a single column, with "Description" as the heading and each row containing the description of an item of equipment. You then supply us with that URL, your organisation details, location and a default contact for all items of equipment. The technology behind this development has been a partnership between a number of UK universities, primarily outcomes of the UNIQUIP Project. The development has the backing of RCUK as its preferred medium for national equipment data sharing offering a scalable solution, without the need for complex software systems.
- I’m talking to you today, but it could have just as easily been someone from one of the increasing number of local open data stores across the Uk. There are several shown here, but they are increasing in number Redbridge (top left) developed its datashare platform, underpinned by strong governance in the council to catalogue its data holdings and ensure data was released quickly, in response to user demand. Datashare is currently being rolled-out to up to 100 councils, using funding secured from Cabinet Office’s release of data fund. The Greater Manchester Data Synchronisation Programme is a collaboration between around 5 councils. This is focussed on building skills and capacity for councils to release data under their own steam, with tools to help users quickly discover and re-use the outputs. Leeds Data Mill. This is an interesting collaboration between Leeds City Council and other publishers of data about the Leeds area – including the private sector (North West Water), and voluntary + charity organisations. The project has developed innovative new ways of engaging the public in the open data agenda, such as crowd-sourcing intelligence on the location of public artwork. Info Trafford - Information and data about Trafford. Includes interactive reports and maps Lastly, but by no means least is the Cambridgeshire Insight.
- Many of us have different roles or 'personas' at different times of our lives. Examples include school governors, elected councillors, volunteers, business leaders, employees or employers. In my own case, for example, I have worked in the financial services industry, I've been a company director, I currently work in local government, and I am part of British APCO, which is a voluntary organisation. Open data resources can be valuable resources in all of those examples.
- I’m going to give a quick overview of the Hampshire Hub, which is Hampshire’s Open Data Store and Local Information System
- Just to quickly set the scene: The Hampshire Hub site has existed for some time, first as a ‘thinking aloud’ web site, then a prototype, and then what we've been calling the ‘interim’ Hampshire Hub All of Hampshire’s local authorities, together with several other organisations, including DCLG, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to contribute to the hub. It doesn’t require partners to contribute specific data sets, but establishes the principles for sharing and publishing open data We have regular partnership board meetings, and staff in partner organisations have played an active part in helping to shape the Hampshire Hub Ordnance Survey formally joined as a Hub partner just this month, when they returned a signed copy of the Memorandum of Understanding
- The New Hampshire Hub is now available as a public beta. It has several components News and Views - basically an extension of what we have been doing for some time with Protohub, sharing articles, opinion, and analysis. The data store - which makes data available in a structured way, through themes like Health, Population, Economy, and JSNA, also through search The Third main component is Area profiles which assemble and present key data on local areas at various levels of geography, including County, Unitary, District, Ward and Parish I’m now going to show you a short video with an example of an Area Profile
- I’m going to use Fair Oak as an example, which is where I live This is the first version of Area Profiles, based mostly on Census and other nationally available data sets we have obtained via 'data packs' which have been loaded and converted to linked data. Future versions of Area Profiles will be configurable, allowing additional context, commentary and analysis to be added by partners, as well as locally generated data. Eventually we hope to allow individuals to tailor their own area profiles, and even define what constitutes 'an area'. We are also looking at possibilities like a "locate me" button for smartphone and tablet users which will use the devices' GPS
- Planning Authorities already publish planning application information on individual web sites for their local area People who live close to the border need to visit several sites in order to find out what is being proposed near to them. Hampshire was awarded funding from the Open Data Breakthrough Fund to create a register which covers the whole of the Hampshire Hub area, and is potentially replicable elsewhere We are liaising with Planning Authorities in Surrey as well
- Aerial photography The local authorities commissioned Blom Aerofilms to fly the whole of the county in 2013. They captured high resolution imagery, and also height data, and near infrared. We stipulated that we wanted to publish data as open data, and Blom were supportive, giving us the Intellectual Property Rights to publish good quality data. This was before the new Data Store was in place, and we released the data in a raw form, with no delivery mechanism like a web browser The response was hugely positive, and within a few days OpenStreetMap were hosting a web version. Steve here created his own web app, as did several others, including the University of Southampton. Just yesterday, we met with the Geodata Institute in Southampton. They have obtained grant funding to create a new web app, which will include 3D visualisation and flythrough. In the words of Jason Sadler "Weather you do or whether you don't" WuDoWuD I'll tell you a bit more about that shortly.basically it's an initiative to look at the environmental conditions leading up to a weather-related event, like flooding. It uses historic data to identify potential triggers for events, and sets the scene for predictive analytics around weather events. We are working with a private company Know Now Information, and the Science and Technology Council (Hartree Centre for Big Data and Computing). The resultant data will be shared back through the Hampshire Hub with an open licence. Crowd-Sourcing Landscape Change This is a collaboration with Remote Sensing Application Consultants and the University of Portsmouth, funded by Innovate UK (formerly the Technoloogy Strategy Board). Basically we are asking "the crowd" to compare aerial photography from 2005 and 2015 and "spot the difference" - what has been added or removed. That might include trees, hedgerows, buildings, roads, waterways and the like. There are many potential uses, and we are exploring which will be the most beneficial. The resultant change information will be shared through the Hampshire Hub. IC Tomorrow - using data to support independent living IC Tomorrow is an Innovate UK initiative. There is a cash prize awarded to private companies who come up with the most innovative proposals to overcome challenges. We are a challenge partner, together with Ordnance Survey, to help people remain in their own homes for longer. Three finalists presented their proposals on 26th November, and we will be working with the winner and OS to trial their proposal through the Hampshire Hub. UK Space Agency Earth Observation Data This is another collaboration with Remote Sensing Application Consultants, and Know Now Information We submitted an Expression of Interest for Satellite Data with a view to creating a flood warning information system which uses real-time satellite data. We passed the intial Expression of Interest, and submitted a proposal at the end of October. This ties in with the Weather You Do and Whether you don't initiative, and also the Crowd-Sourcing Landscape Change initiative Open Cities Data Platform Nquiringminds - open source platform, roughly £1million funding from Innovate UK. Hampshire was identified in the original proposal, and we have an opportunity to identify a set of challenges or issues which could be addressed through data and technology. The offer is to develop applications which can be demonstrated in Hampshire in 2015, before being rolled-out to other locations, including Liverpool and Cambridgeshire. (Open) Data Co Ops This last initiative is at an early stage.the word "open" is in brackets, as Data Co Ops may largely be closed data, but with an element of open data. We are exploring this particularly with the charity / voluntary sector. Potentially, data co ops could contribute open data to the Hampshire Hub, and the data we are making available could be a valuable resource for the co ops
- BlueLightCamp is an annual informal networking event for bluelight services, and those who work with them. It also includes and open data hack. Previously it has been held in Manchester, aligned with British APCO's Annual Exhibition and Cinference I am one of the organisers of BlueLightCamp, and this year we decided to hold it in Hampshire instead. This provided an opportunity to bring together an existing themed event with Hampshire Hub and open data. Environment Agency were on hand with lots of flooding data, and that was quite a focus for attendees. One of the outputs that day was tool which automatically tweets Environment Agency's 3 day flood warning. There was also a demonstration by University of Southampton which showed slopes which had been calculated from our Height open data It was at BlueLightCamp that one of the attendees - Chris Cooper - came up with the idea for Weather You Do or Whether You Don't It's also at BlueLightCamp that Chris met Nick Allott, which has led to them collaborating with each other on several initiatives, including using remote sensors in buildings to capture environmental data Another attendee at BlueLightCamp runs the On the Wight hyperlocal news site. He attended not because he is particularly interested in Blue Light Services, but because he is very enthusiastic about the Hampshire Hub and open data, particularly for the Isle of Wight. He has since offered to participate in Weather You Do or Whether You don’t Hopefully that you some insight into a few of the initiatives that are already using the Hampshire Hub. We are actively reaching out to communities and supporting those initiatives which benefit Hampshire and the Isle of Wight as a whole.. Our vision is to play an active part in the web of linked data and for Hampshire Hub to become an invaluable resource for decision-making in and around Hampshire.
