Vabljeni k branju članka, ki je bil objavljen v decemberski številki Gaia-X Magazine o Gaia-X Roadshow dogodku, ki je v začetku semptembra 2023 potekal na sedežu Gospodarske zbornice Slovenije (GZS) v Ljubljani in na katerem so zbrani udeleženci slišali o viziji razvoja podatkovnih prostorov v EU.

Meje na področju podatkovnih prostorov v Sloveniji se premikajo s trdim delom Gaia-X Hub Slovenija, ki ga koordinira Združenje za informatiko in telekomunikacije pri GZS v sodelovanju z IKT Horizontalno mrežo. Skupaj z drugimi evropskimi organizacijami podatkovnih rešitev Gaia-X Hub Slovenia gradi most med inovacijami, znanjem in priložnostmi za slovenska podjetja.

V kolikor vas zanimajo najnovejše informacije s področja podatkovnih prostorih v EU, vas vabimo da si preberete spodnji članek ali pa celotno Gaia-X revijo.

Cilj projekta je zagotoviti varno, vključujočo, trajnostno in produktivno prihodnost, ki jo podpirajo podatkovni prostori, ki delujejo za vse evropske državljane. Tudi slovenski deležniki so vabljeni, da se informirajo o projektu.

Ob priznavanju ključne vloge, ki jo danes igrajo podatki, bodisi za umetno inteligenco (UI) ali za učinkovito upravljanje, projekt Vzpostavitve podatkovnih prostorov za pametne skupnosti vabi lokalne skupnosti in podjetja po vsej EU, da predlagajo konkretne pilotne projekte. Skupno je namenjenih 15 milijonov EUR za 10-12 pilotnih projektov. prihajajoči razpis bomo uradno predstavili 17. januarja 2024 na konferenci “Open & Agile Smart Cities”, ki bo potekala v Rotterdamu na Nizozemskem.

Martin Brynskov, koordinator projekta, pravi: “Podatki so nov material tisočletja, vendar se še vedno učimo, kako jih konkretno uporabljati kot temelj za gradnjo družbe. Če želimo imeti koristi od tega, morajo biti podatkovni prostori dobro upravljani in dobro vodeni. Kot to tudi že počnemo z naravnimi viri.”

Nenad Šutanovac, direktor ZIT, pa je poudaril: “Omenjeni projekt je naš prvi projekt na področju konkretnega uvajanja podatkovnih prostorov v uporabo in zato zelo pomemben element pri gradnji evropskega podatkovnega trga. Področje pametnih mest in skupnosti je priložnost tudi za slovenska IKT podjetja, da se izkažejo pri prijavah na pilotne projekte in pokažejo, kaj znamo. Prepričan sem, da se bodo! ”

V petek, 29. 9. 2023 je na Gospodarski zbornici Slovenije potekal poslovno-strokovni dogodek Kako do pametnih mest?, ki je odprl številna vprašanja glede prihodnjega razvoja mest in skupnosti in kaj lahko pametna mesta prinesejo družbi.

Evropski način digitalne preobrazbe mest in skupnosti je pomemben in daje jasen poudarek gradnji povezljivih digitalnih rešitev, ki bodo vodile k dvigu kakovosti bivanja prebivalcev, pospešila razvoj gospodarstva ter prispevala k trajnostnem razvoju. Dogodek so organizirali ZIT, IKT hm, Častnik Finance ob podpori DS4SSCC projekta (DS4SSCC Data Spaces for Smart and Sustainable Cities & Communities – Podatkovni prostori za pametna trajnostna mesta in skupnosti).

Nenad Šutanovac, direktor ZIT-a je v uvodnem nagovoru povedal, da so: »Mesta in skupnosti pomemben del družbe, v njih se tako ali drugače združujejo vsi prebivalci Slovenije in v občinah, v kraju svojega bivanja, dela, šolanja in drugih dejavnosti koristimo številne storitve. Zato pametna mesta in skupnosti pomenijo tudi boljše storitve za prebivalce, pomenijo pametno družbo, ki vključuje tudi gospodarstvo, visok nivo digitalnih kompetenc prebivalstva, uporabo različnih digitalnih storitev javnega sektorja – skratka koristi za vse.« ZIT je član evropskih projektov za vzpostavitev podatkovnih prostorov za pametna mesta, v okviru katerih bodo v naslednjem letu objavljeni razpisi za kaskadno financiranje za vzpostavitev pilotnih projektov za podatkovne prostore za pametna mesta. Slovensko gospodarstvo ima ogromen potencial, znanje in izkušnje. Razvoj rešitev za pametna mesta pa to lahko združi v vrhunske proizvode in storitve za preboj na mednarodnem trgu, za katere pa so potrebne referenčne in delujoče rešitve v Sloveniji.

Glavno predavanje na dogodku na temo Digitalnih infrastruktur prihodnosti za pametna mesta in skupnosti je imel g. Martin Brynskov, višji raziskovalec na Tehnični univerzi na Danskem in ustanovni direktor organizacije OASC, ki vodi evropski projekt DS4SSCC – Podatkovni prostori za pametna mesta in skupnosti, katerega del je tudi ZIT. Predstavniki države, lokalnih skupnosti in podjetji pa so na okrogli mizi, ki jo je povezoval Flavio Fuart, vodja IKT Horizontalne mreže, razpravljali  o temi kam in kako usmeriti razvoj infrastrukture za razvoj pametnih mest v Sloveniji. S tem smo se na dogodku poglobili v različne ravni digitalizacije, ki daje podlago za pametna mesta oz. skupnosti ter spreminja njihovo delovanje. Pri tem je zelo pomemben vidik nadzora nad podatki, ki ga vse bolj zagotavljajo digitalne platforme. Namen dogodka je bil spodbuditi občine, skupnosti in druge ustanove ter podjetja k povezovanju, razvoju novih tehnologij in uvajanju rešitev za dvig kakovosti življenja v mestih in na podeželju ter za zagotavljanje sodobnih oblik mobilnosti in trajnostnega gospodarskega in družbenega razvoja.

Eno glavnih vprašanj konference, ki ga je izpostavil g. Šutanovac je: Ali bomo v Sloveniji le ponudniki podatkov ali bomo ponujali tudi napredne storitve in tako ustvarjali dodano vrednost? »V Sloveniji imamo visok nivo znanja na IKT področju, imamo tehnološko napredne in mednarodno konkurenčne rešitve – vendar smo relativno majhni. V Sloveniji dela po podatkih iz leta 2022 46.500 IKT strokovnjakov oz. 4,8% delovne sile. Napeti moramo vse sile, da to številko vsako leto povečamo vsaj za 5.000 novih IKT strokovnjakov. In nujno se moramo odločiti, da takoj uvedemo obvezni predmet Računalništvo in informatika v OŠ in SŠ – na tem področju smo na repu EU. In kaj pomeni dijakom poučevanje računalništva in umetne inteligence nam lahko veliko pove dr. Uroš Ocepek, učitelj s področja računalništva na Srednji tehniški in poklicni šoli Trbovlje, ki se je pravkar uvrstil med 50 najboljših na svetu – med 1000 prijavljenimi učitelji z vsega sveta – za Global Teachers Prize.«

V Združenju so v okviru SRIP-a Pametna mesta in skupnosti in IKT horizontalne mreže pred časom ustanovili pobudo SmartSociety, kjer gre za povezovanje deležnikov za usklajeno digitalizacijo pametnih mest in skupnosti. Vzpostavili so Slovensko nacionalno deklaracijo za pospešitev digitalne preobrazbe mest, vasi in skupnosti v trajnostno usmerjeno pametno družbo. V okviru pobude SmartSociety so pripravili tudi smernice za uporabo standardov interoperabilnost aplikacijskih vmesnikov in podatkovnih modelov za pametna mesta v Sloveniji. Ti standardi so bili prepoznani tudi s strani države Slovenije, kot pomemben dejavnik vpeljav učinkovitih in odprtih rešitev na nivoju države. S temi iniciativami smo bili na ZIT med prvimi v Evropi, ki smo to dosegli na nivoju države, kar je bila tudi odlična popotnica za udeležbo pri številnih EU projektih.

We would like to invite you to complete the Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC) Survey which aims to capture existing initiatives, knowledge and practices on data sharing at local level (e.g. successful examples of data sharing between different partners, types of partnerships and sharing agreements, specific standards or tools used). It is conducted as part of the ongoing work on the data space for smart and sustainable cities and communities led by OASC with Eurocities, ENoLL, the Fiware Foundation, AIT, and ICT Innovation Network (ICT Association of Slovenia).

The survey takes approximately 20 minutes to complete, depending on your answers. The survey consists of four non-technical sections (screen 2, 3, 4 and 9) and three optional technical sections (screen 6,7 & 8). 

The analysis of this survey will provide the DS4SSCC team with an overview of the current landscape of data sharing mechanisms and initiatives across Europe. The results will be published on the project’s website . The findings will directly feed into creating the governance and technical building blocks of the data space which will be accompanied with a roadmap to establishing the data space.

The information collected will be anonymised and used as input for the project deliverables. For more information contact flavio.fuart@gzs.si.

We look forward to receiving your input by the 15th of February. 

Thank you for your interest and your help!

The Data Spaces Support Centre, as described in the Digital Europe Programme, will set up and operate a Support Centre to operationalize the European Strategy for Data. This Data Spaces Support Centre will facilitate common data spaces that collectively create an interoperable data sharing environment, to enable data reuse and secondary use within and across sectors, fully respecting EU values, and contributing to the European economy and society.

With the DSSC Insights Series, we have the opportunity to experience the activities and scope of the Data Space Support Centre. In these monthly webinars, we will meet the DSSC stakeholders and actively follow the development of the Data Space Blueprint.  In December, DSSC hosted the first event from Data Spaces Insight Series: Data spaces 101. It covered the overall topic of data spaces. 

The 2nd DSSC Insight webinar Understanding data spaces will happen on 26 January. Here you can find the agenda and registration link: https://dssc.eu/dssc-insight-series-understanding-data-spaces/

Separating the data layer from the application layer will be crucial to ensure that the industry can offer the application software to the health and care providers while the data will be stored separately and securely in the cloud and be governed by healthcare organisations. The shift in the digital transformation will likely include an open platform and a clinical data repository, with integration of legacy and third-party elements, that support easy data migration and are transparent to all applications connected to the platform.

Data-driven innovation has gained momentum in healthcare. We are living in the digital era where AI-based technologies have opened new research opportunities and provided impactful solutions for healthcare professionals. On the other hand, the emergence of big data spaces in this domain has raised several challenges around ownership and usage of personal data. Pharma and healthcare experts, clinicians, scientists, legal counsels, and society in general are involved in striving the digital progress, while facing a bivalent problem: data access and its impact on privacy, security, confidentiality, and intellectual property rights. In most European countries novel AI-applications are transforming the healthcare and pharma sectors, whereas data availability remains a limitation for research and policy making purposes. To facilitate innovation within European data spaces, secondary use of data has a great potential to improve health outcomes while mitigating the issue in sharing data. Thus, a good harmonization among protection of secondary data and facilitation of their reuse for research purposes is needed to leverage and enhance innovation.

The paper combines multiple perspectives and aims to establish a common understanding of both the Gaia-X and key local technology concepts and how they can be interrelated. It is not intended as an academic contribution, but it rather addresses city administrations, IT industry actors, EU policy makers and Gaia-X members in general.

Gaia-X has recently emerged as a key player in the European data policy and infrastructure domain. With this paper, we aim to reflect on what the application of Gaia-X can be in the European Smart Cities domain. Throughout the text, we will use the terms ‘Urban technology’, ‘Smart City or ‘Smart Cities and Communities’ and ‘Local technology’. Through these terms, we refer to the application of technologies in cities, but also in smaller geographical areas, like villages and larger ones like provinces and regions. This refers to an evolution in Europe to go beyond smart cities by referring to ‘Local’ systems or ‘Smart cities and communities’, which are understood by the EU as applications beyond cities.

The paper combines multiple perspectives and aims to establish a common understanding of both the Gaia-X and key local technology concepts and how they can be interrelated. It is not intended as an academic contribution, but it rather addresses city administrations, IT industry actors, EU policy makers and Gaia-X members in general. At the time of writing, the Gaia-X specifications are still in flux, which means that describing detailed case applications in a Local context is somewhat premature. However, this paper makes a first attempt at framing the application domain of Gaia-X in the Local European Smart Cities and Communities context. In subsequent versions of this document, we will set out to specify the cases in more detail.

XLAB, a member of Gaia-X Hub Slovenia, has joined a group of implementation partners for Gaia-X Federation Services.

The contracts for implementation have been awarded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) project in coordination with Gaia-X AISBL to implementation partners T-Systems International, DAASI International, BigchainDB, Fraunhofer AISEC, ecsec and XLAB. The open-source code to be developed is available for all to see via the GitLab platform.

XLAB will play a key role in the first phase of the API-driven development of the orchestrator that will enable Gaia-X consumers to start instantiating and managing infrastructure services through the Gaia-X portal.

Gaia-X AISBL has moved to the “adoption” phase, which means it is accelerating the development of the Gaia-X software framework by committing its own Software lab to open-source projects.

Developments will be driven thorough a series of important documents released in the last few months.

Gaia-X strategists, developers and adopters should be familiar with the list:

• Vision & Strategy
• Gaia-X Federation Services (GXFS)
• Gaia-X Labelling Framework and Gaia-X Labelling Criteria
• Gaia-X Architecture Document 21.12 Release
• Policy Rules Document 21.11

Innovation in AI (namely, self-driving cars, telecommunications and energy grids, cybersecurity, smart cameras, drones, robots and city brains, etc.) has been driving smart cities towards digital urban environments. From optimized logistics to fraud detection, from social distancing to facial recognition, intelligent machine systems are transforming both the management and experience of urban services.

Just as these systems become more capable, our world becomes more efficient and open source has a lot to answer to that. Open source innovation is at the forefront of ensuring that software-based processes, operational models, decision-making, and end-user experiences happen in a sustainable and cost-effective manner.

Dozens of FIWARE members and partners co-created the White Paper, including the ICT Horizontal Network. The document addresses how cities can mindfully advance their digital transformation via open source innovation, from a practical perspective.

Slovenia is highlighted as an example of good practice and as a reference country for open source and open standards. Slovenia is "the first country in Europe to have requested its cities to use the CEF Context Broker and apply MIMs when implementing strategies for smart cities and regions, Slovenia is laser-focused on value-added applications".

The emphasis was on the European Health Data Space, exchange of experience and good practice examples from Slovenia and other countries that are leaders in healthcare digitalisation.

Government representatives, businesses, projects and initiatives from Portugal and Germany, which together with Slovenia are part of the "EU Presidency Trio", have presented their experience and priorities of the presidency, as well as good practice examples from their countries.

Guests from Finland have explained why they are leaders in the secondary use of data and how they encourage healthcare employees in quality data collection. Israel presented the implementation of the national digital health strategy and shared their "lessons learned". Guests from Spain presented their plans to create a regional ecosystem of IT solutions in Catalonia as well as a unified patient record. The discussion on the role of digital literacy in healthcare, as an important competence of healthcare professionals as well as patients, has concluded the eHealth week.

"In the digital economy, the winner gets everything," warns Andreja Lampe, head of Gaia-x Hub Slovenia at the Association of Informatics and Telecommunications. "According to the index of the digital economy and society, Slovenia ranks slightly below the EU average, but its gap is gradually increasing, so it is necessary to resolutely join the development," she emphasized. "Most of the world's economy will be digitized in the coming years, and we must not miss this process. Digitalisation is an important factor in raising productivity and economic growth, and the re-use of data enables completely new business models, where Slovenia's small size is an advantage and companies can reposition themselves in global value chains."
