Societies
Community building and supporting
◎ Establish 7 Societal Big Data Interest Groups
o modelled after the W3C interest groups
o involving a large number of stakeholders from the H2020 societal challenges as well as technical Big Data
experts
o each group has a domain and a technical chair
◎ Building a European network and multiplier organisation per societal challenge to
o engage with stakeholders in the particular societal challenge area and raise awareness
o support the requirements elicitation, definition and prioritization
o assemble a library of data sources and datasets
o provide a comprehensive test bed for the evaluation of the BDE Aggregator Platform
o select pilot use cases, across different domains
o promote the showcase developed for the societal domain and support the dissemination of the BDE results
o provide appropriate academic and training curricula for training future researchers and practitioners.27-févr.-15

Workshops
◎ 7 X 3 Workshops (at least 3 per Societal Challenge)
◎ First series of workshops in the next months will focus on requirements
definition
o analyse workshops results and create 1st draft per societal challenge,
o examine also the use of other tools such as
❖ surveys (broad audience to ask for (big) data management needs)
❖ manage experts interviews with Big Data experts
❖ interviews with EC representative per societal challenge
◎ Second series of workshops in the 2nd year will focus on a review of the
architecture and first prototype implementation
◎ Third series of workshops in the 3rd year will focus on the platform
evaluation and showcases for the societal domains 27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu
Requirements Specification and Pilot
Planning
◎ Requirements Elicitation (WP2)Workshops, Desktop Research, Interviews, Survey
◎ Alignment of Requirements (WP2/WP3)Identify core requirements and instance requirements
◎ Technical Specification (WP3)Functional & non-functional requirements to hand over to architecture team
and then to the BDE platform development team (WP4)
◎ Pilot Planning and Deployment (WP6)Planning for three piloting cycles using the BDE platform instances (WP5)
27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu
Requirements Alignment
Alignment of all collected requirements as follows
◎ Evaluate common requirements for (all) societal challenges = core requirements
◎ Evaluate & summarise requirements per societal challenge = (additional) instance
requirements
◎ Prioritisation of requirements
Add. information to take into account (desk research etc.)
◎ Relevant studies, reports e.g: BIG, Big Data AT, H2020 Data Mgnt. Plans
◎ PLUS: ask additional questions (internally) for this activity
o What technologies are already available in organisations
o What technology is easy-to-use by end users
o Which skills are available, etc…27-févr.-15

Requirements Specification
Technical Requirements Specification of all functional & non-functional
Requirements
◎ Final list of Use Cases & user interaction
◎ Tech Specs for core BDE Platform
◎ Tech Specs for all 7 instances
◎ Hand over to create final architecture
27-févr.-15www.big-data-europe.eu
Pilot Planning and Deployment
◎ Implementation of three cycles of piloting sessions using BDE stack
◎ Each piloting plan will involve the following steps:
o Data assets acquisition, mapping/transformation, linking and integration
o Generic enabling components configuration
o Integration of domain-specific technology
o Establishing of domain-specific workflow support
o Qualitative and quantitative evaluation
◎ Pilot Deployment
o Identifying promising show cases involving key large-scale datasets
