Dear TSC colleagues, I'm glad to forward you the message below with the request from Engineering to incorporate a new software component in the FIWARE technology stack. While waiting for the presentation of this service, to schedule as soon as we resume our weekly telcos in September, you can find a number of resources already available (attached and listed at the end of the message) in order to satisfy your curiosity. Looking forward to receiving comments from you, I wish you all the best for the summer break. BR Davide PS. @Stefano, can you kindly send me the link to the web form to comply with the rules of the official submission? ... thanks a million. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Martino Maggio <martino.maggio at eng.it> Dear FIWARE TSC, I am Martino Maggio, Senior Researcher of Engineering Ingegneria Informatica. With this mail I want to submit to your attention an open source software, developed by Engineering R&D lab in H2020 projects (in particular FESTIVAL - http://www.festival-project.eu/). The component is "Idra - Open Data Federation Platform" and has the objective to federate and harmonise the access to open data portals and systems based on different and heterogeneous technologies. One of the most relevant problems related to adoption and usage of open data is related to technology and standard fragmentation: every entity that wants to provide open data (e.g. Public Administration) uses different platforms and formats for their publication. This issue represents a barrier for the user that wants to search for open data, and for third-party applications that are not able to simply access and reuse it. Idra is an open source platform that provides a unique access point to open datasets coming from heterogeneous ODMS (Open Data Management System), such as portals provided by Municipalities and PAs. Idra can be seen, from one side, as an implementation of the FIWARE Open Data GE (a subset of APIs), while on the other side, it also provides additional features as a new FIWARE GE. We are open to discuss with the TCS the best positioning of this component inside the FIWARE architecture. >From technical point of view - Idra is platform composed by a back-end module and a web portal that allows to search for open data and linked open data, in a federated and multilanguage way - The datasets remain in the original portals, the platform imports, harmonises and manages only the metadata, updating it periodically in order to assure that the information provided is up to date. The metadata of the federated datasets are compliant with DCAT-AP standard; - The platform is able to access to open data portals based on different technologies (e.g. CKAN, SOCRATA, DKAN etc) even that they don’t provide API (via web scraping technique) Code and documentation: - GitHub repository : https://github.com/OPSILab/Idra - API documentation: https://idraopendata.docs.apiary.io/ - User manual: http://idra.readthedocs.io/ - Online demo: https://opendatafederation.eng.it/ - Presentation slides: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aHhNAuO2gjgSYrJZq5kniZMvpuBd_fhr We are available for any type of clarification and to attend a call to directly present our platform.
