Bristol is an Open Programmable City…..............• 1,500 IoT

connected street lamp posts.

• Data generated is anonymized & made public through an open data portal & visualized using the Data Dome

• Applications are not just focused on environment & operations (traffic, energy, water, waste) but for FUN! (interactive gaming, immersive visualization, augmented reality)

A joint venture between the University of Bristol & Bristol City Council, funded by local, national & European governments, academic research funding & the private sector.

Phase 4Leveraging data from across the business to 

analyse and guide future business

Most cities and businesses are at Phase 1 today. Each silo gathers and manages their own data in isolation.

As this phase emerges the need for a data sharing policy and process is needed. Start to understand common data frameworks and considering platform implications

The emphasis shifts to Open data and analytics for whole-of-business implications.

The business is proactively driving productivity and business strategy informed by data

Safe Data – primarily the potential for identification in the data. It could also refer to the sensitivity of the data itself.

Practical Data Sharing – the “Five Safes”

Safe Setting – the practical controls on the way the data is accessed. At one extreme researchers may be restricted to using the data in a supervised physical location. At the other extreme, there are no restrictions on data downloaded from the internet.

Safe Projects – the legal, moral and ethical considerations surrounding use of data. Often specified in regulations or legislation, typically allowing but limiting data use to some form of ‘valid statistical purpose’, and with appropriate ‘public benefit’. 

Safe People – the knowledge, skills and incentives of the users to store and use the data appropriately. In this context, ‘appropriately’ means ‘in accordance with the required standards of behaviour’, rather than level of statistical skill.

Safe Outputs – the residual risk in publications from sensitive data. 

We are considering adding two more……..Safe Recoverability – how bad can it get if the data is lost?

Safe Timing – How long can you remain in control of the data?
