El proyecto europeo ENERGIC OD (European NEtwork for Redistri-buting Geospatial Information to user Communities - Open Data), financiado por la Unión Europea dentro del Programa Marco para la Competitividad y la Innovación (CIP), comenzó su andadura de tres años en octubre de 2014. El objetivo del proyecto es el de facilitar el uso de datos geográficos abiertos procedentes de fuentes diversas através de la creación de distribuidores virtuales de datos (hubs virtuales) y la creación de servicios y aplicaciones innovadores que los utilicen.Uno de los principales obstáculos para la reutilización de datos abiertos es la heterogeneidad existente tanto en datos y formatos como en servicios, que requiere a usuarios y desarrolladores de software grandes esfuerzos en términos de acceso a los datos y de armonización de los mismos para poder ser utilizados. La adopción de estándares, aunquela reduce, no consigue evitar completamente esta heterogeneidad, especialmente en contextos interdisciplinares. Los hubs virtuales de ENERGIC OD hacen frente al problema adoptando un enfoque basado en la mediación: componentes especiales (intermediarios o brokers) armonizan interfaces de servicio, modelos de datos y metadatos, permitiendo de scubrir y acceder a datos e infraestructuras heterogéneos. ENERGIC OD desplegará un total de cinco hubs virtuales a nivel nacional en Francia, Alemania, Italia, Polonia y España y otromás a nivel europeo y desarrollará sobre los mismos un conjunto inicial de diez aplicaciones multidisciplinares basadas en la explotación de datos geográficos abiertos. ENERGIC OD creará nuevas oportunidades de mercado, abriendo todavía más el acceso a la información del sector público y a datos de investigación.
In October 2014, the ENERGIC-OD (European NEtwork for Redistributing Geospatial Information to user Communities - Open Data) project, funded by the European Union under the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP), has started. The objective of the project is to facilitate the use of open (freely available) geographic data from different sources for the creation of innovative applications and services through the creation of Virtual Hubs. Data and data services heterogeneity is recognized as one of the major barriers to open data reuse. It imposes end-users and developers to spend a lot of effort in accessing different infrastructures and harmonize datasets. Such heterogeneity cannot be completely removed through the adoption of standard specifications for service interfaces, metadata and data models, especially in interdisciplinary contexts. ENERGIC-OD Virtual Hubs address heterogeneity adopting a mediation and brokering approach: specific components (brokers)are dedicated to harmonize service interfaces, metadata and data models, enabling seamless discovery and access to heterogeneous infrastructures and datasets. ENERGIC OD will deploy a set of five Virtual Hubs at national level in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and an additional one at the European level. ENERGIC-OD Consortium will develop an initial set of ten different multidisciplinary applications on top of the deployed VHs. The main expected impact of VHs is the creation of new business opportunities opening up access to Research Data and Public Sector Information.

Abstract
In October 2014, the ENERGIC-OD (European NEtwork for Redistributing Geospatial Information to user Communities - Open Data) project, funded by the European Union under the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP), has started. The objective of the project is to facilitate the use of open (freely available) geographic data from different sources for the creation of innovative applications and services through the creation of Virtual Hubs. Data and data services heterogeneity is recognized as one of the major barriers to open data reuse. It imposes end-users and developers to spend a lot of effort in accessing different infrastructures and harmonize datasets. Such heterogeneity cannot be completely removed through the adoption of standard specifications for service interfaces, metadata and data models, especially in interdisciplinary contexts. ENERGIC-OD Virtual Hubs address heterogeneity adopting a mediation and brokering approach: specific components (brokers)are dedicated to harmonize service interfaces, metadata and data models, enabling seamless discovery and access to heterogeneous infrastructures and datasets. ENERGIC OD will deploy a set of five Virtual Hubs at national level in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and an additional one at the European level. ENERGIC-OD Consortium will develop an initial set of ten different multidisciplinary applications on top of the deployed VHs. The main expected impact of VHs is the creation of new business opportunities opening up access to Research Data and Public Sector Information.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
