MIM2: Representing Data

Introduction

This MIMs allows cities and communities to overcome the challenges of working with data that are represented in different ways by providing recommendations for the use of consistent and machine-readable representations of data so that data from various sources can be efficiently used with confidence across the organisation and shared with collaborators as part of a local data ecosystem.

Use Cases

  • In Porto there are efforts ongoing to make different departments use similar or the same data models

  • In many use cases there is a minimal set of fields in a data model that are useful, and it doesn't make sense to implement a full data model, for instance, in Ghent they tried to apply the entire DATEX II data model (150 fields) to a service that simply (only) indicated the availablity of a parking space

Objectives

To support cities and communities to use consistent and machine-undertstandable definitions of all the entities about which data is being captured in a data ecosystem. This includes syntactic and semantic definitions. This MIM supports data users to use data models, serialisations and formats that support specific use cases, in a minimal way.
