Sweeping challenges such as climate change can't be solved without the collaboration of all involved actors, however far from each other their concerns and points of view are. An open approach to data is nowadays acknowledged as an efficient tool to enable such collaboration. But by making data "live", Linked Data brings it a step further towards the constitution of a common good of data. And the Cloud empowers it by the required scalability. This talk presents the benefits of Linked Open Data as a Service as an open approach to energy consumption monitoring, and the economical models adopted by its Smile and Ozwillo-led partners, be they data producers, ecosystem developers or technology providers. It includes a live end-to-end demonstration of Smile's Linked Data as a Service offering bridging IoT, Big Linked Open Data and Cloud.

1. Linked Data as a Service
as an open approach
to energy consumption monitoring

2. A quick question...
Can your electricity provider
vouch for your own sensible
electricity consumption ?

3. A quick question...
Can your electricity provider vouch for your
own sensible electricity consumption ?
… no, because its business model (selling
electricity) contradicts it :
you need another third-party !

4. A quick question...
Can your electricity provider vouch for your
own sensible electricity consumption ?
… no, because its business model (selling
electricity) contradicts it :
you need another third-party
… territories (city, region…) are a natural fit

5. Open electricity
consumption monitoring !
Why monitoring ?
- Qualitative actions and reports are nice
- But without quantitative analysis,
ecology drifts towards green washing

6. Open electricity
consumption monitoring
Why open ?
- in transversal issues with a lot of
heterogeneous actors, openness is the best
approach to ensure their good will
- coercition is necessary but not sufficient
(can be gamed, not the most efficient)

8. The solution
• Not only Open Data (and Open Source) :
• Big Linked Open Data analytics as a Service
Sensors
OCCIware -piloted cloud
