Ci#zens and data
• We explore frameworks to help people get engaged with public science projects, that could have a posi#ve impact on the living condi#ons in a city.
• We believe the public should have the ability to gather data about what they care about most.
• Example: Air Quality

Building a community
• Ci#zen engagement comes from personal interest on this issue.
• The public express real concerns and doubts. – Respiratory disorders – Parents’ concerns regarding the wellbeing of their children
• Ci#zens are vital contributors. • A community of different people with different exper#se.

Standards based approach
• Use W3C Seman#c Sensor Network (SSN) • Data can be compared among:
– Different ci#es – Different sensor devices – Different ci#zen plaoorms – Official sta#ons and ci#zen devices
• Working with Ontology Engineering Group at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid

Sensor technology
• Calibrated sensors are expensive • Exploring low cost calibra#on methods • New devices have different replacement rates • Raising awareness of sensor limita#ons vs official sta#ons
• Designed to complement and not replace city data

Great Opportunity
• Joint project involving ci#zens, government, universi#es and enterprises
• We’re crea#ng a complete framework for urban collabora#on: sensors, models and methods towards a common goal
• Connect engaged ci#zens to sustainable connected ci#es
