Open Data governance

Open Data governance

In this unit, we delve into the importance of Open Data governance, focusing on hardware and software systems in Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS).

Building on earlier discussions, we introduce Data Governance Frameworks and Data Architectures to highlight their role in maximising the value of ITS-generated data.

Key topics include:

  • What are Data Governance Frameworks and Architectures?
  • How do we develop them effectively?
  • Open vs. Closed system models and their implications for emerging cities.

We also discuss the risks of closed systems and the importance of enabling open solutions for data integration and interoperability, especially in rapidly developing urban contexts.
