The EU and Industry launched the
Contractual Public Private Partnership
on Big Data Value in October 2014
The Big Data Value Association represents ‘Private’ side
“Big Data is possibly
one of the few last
chances for
Europe‘s so<ware
industry to take a
true leadership“
CEO So'ware AG,
Karl-Heinz Streibich
“… EU ac@on should
provide the right
framework
condi@ons for a
single market for
Big Data …”
European Council
Conclusion – 24/25
October 2013
“In the Commission's view, strategic
coopera@on through a contractual
Public-Private Partnership (cPPP) can
play an important role in developing a
data community and encouraging
exchange of best prac@ces. In line with
the principles set out in H2020, the
Commission considers that a
sufficiently well-defined cPPP would be
the most effec@ve way
to implement H2020 in this field,…”

What is the BDV cPPP about
The Objective of the PPP is:
The cPPP shall create results that
have IMPACT on members,
participants, industry, economy and
society…
The Strategy needs to be:
The main focus is the transfer
of technology and
application (new from the PPP
and state of the art) via the
“instruments” designed for the PPP (i-
Spaces/Lighthouse projects)
Specific Objective on standards:
to enable research and innovation
work, including activities related to
interoperability and
standardisation, for the future
basis of big data value creation in
Europe
Leverage the cPPP investments
through sector investments of 4 times
Open, transparent and inclusive
definition
Update Strategic Research &
Innovation Agenda (SRIA);
Ensure 20% SME participating
organisations;
Support to the ex-post assessment of
the implemented projects;
Leverage the achieved results in the
market
Develop skills and competences in
Big Data Value
Actively involve all relevant sector
players,
Work with others for alignment of
goals and ensure synergies;
Governance model, which supports
openness and efficiency

Characteristics Successful Adoption of Innovation
Relative Advantage: enabling better functioning.
Compatibility: degree to which a technology is consistent
with existing stakeholder values, interests, and context
Complexity: the degree of difficulty involved in implementing
the initiative and communicating benefits to stakeholders.
Trialability: degree to which experimentation is possible in
initiative
Cost Efficiency and Feasibility: with respect to existing
comparable practice
Evidence: availability of research evidence and practice
efficacy
Risk: level of risk associated with the implementation and
adoption

Technology Cycles
Anderson and Tushman found that technological change
proceeded cyclically
Each technology discon@nuity inaugurates a period of turbulence and
uncertainty (era of ferment) un@l a dominant design is selected (era of
incremental change)

Technology Cycles
Dominant design always rose to command majority
of market
unless the next discon@nuity arrived too early
Dominant design was:
Never in same form as original discon@nuity
Not on the leading edge of technology
Bundled features that would meet needs of majority of
market
During the era of incremental change, firms o<en cease to invest in
learning about alterna@ve designs and instead focus on developing
competencies related to the dominant design
This explains in part why incumbent firms may have difficulty
recognizing and reac@ng to a discon@nuous technology

Technology and Data
Standardisation
Standardisation is essential to the creation of a Data
Economy and the PPP will support establishing and
augmenting both formal and de facto standards. The PPP
will achieve this by:
• Leveraging existing common standards as the basis
for an open and successful Big Data market.
• Integrating national efforts on an international
(European) level as early as possible.
• Ensuring availability of experts for all aspects of Big Data
in the standardisation process.
• Providing education and educational material to
promote developing standards.

Conclusion
Standardisation is essential to the creation of a Data
Economy
Standards can play a key role in improving the adoption
of Big Data
I think we now need to select the dominant designs for
Big Data technology
The Big Data Value PPP will support establishing and
augmenting both formal and de facto standards in
collaboration with stakeholder community
