Data spaces are a great way for cities to connect to logistics players in their cities, and integrate valuable city data directly into the logistics ecosystem. However, making city data available on the data space can come with some technical challenges, both in transforming the data and connecting to the data space. The Smart Data Platform reduces these obstacles to offering data on the data space by providing city data engineers with the tools they need to prepare their data for data space sharing and connect it to the data space. To achieve this, The Smart Data Platform makes use of a pre-existing data transformation (ETL) tool, packaged with a data space connector, which it connects through an overarching UI. This provides cities with all the capabilities of an ETL tool, while reducing the barrier to connecting to the data space. The below document serves as a setup guide for the Smart Data Platform and attached urban Freight data space connector. The setup guide follows the case study of the Ghent Living lab where data was gathered from the Gent Open Data Platform to the Smart Data Platform, and made available to the Disco network via the embedded Sovity dataspace connector (and UI). |
