Item Collaboration-Centred Cities through Urban Apps Based on Open and User-Generated Data(2016-07-01) Aguilera, Unai; López-de-Ipiña, Diego; Pérez-Velasco, Jorge; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThis paper describes the IES Cities platform conceived to streamline the development of urban apps that combine heterogeneous datasets provided by diverse entities, namely, government, citizens, sensor infrastructure and other information data sources. This work pursues the challenge of achieving effective citizen collaboration by empowering them to prosume urban data across time. Particularly, this paper focuses on the query mapper; a key component of the IES Cities platform devised to democratize the development of open data-based mobile urban apps. This component allows developers not only to use available data, but also to contribute to existing datasets with the execution of SQL sentences. In addition, the component allows developers to create ad hoc storages for their applications, publishable as new datasets accessible by other consumers. As multiple users could be contributing and using a dataset, our solution also provides a data level permission mechanism to control how the platform manages the access to its datasets. We have evaluated the advantages brought forward by IES Cities from the developers' perspective by describing an exemplary urban app created on top of it. In addition, we include an evaluation of the main functionalities of the query mapper.Item Collaboration-Centred Cities Through Urban Apps Based on Open and User-Generated Data. Springer(Springer International Publishing AG, 2015) López-de-Ipiña, Diego; Aguilera, Unai; Pérez-Velasco, Jorge; García-Chamizo, Juan M.; Fortino, Giancarlo; Ochoa, Sergio F.; Tecnalia Research & InnovationThis paper describes the IES Cities platform conceived to streamline the development of urban apps which combine heterogeneous datasets provided by diverse entities, namely, Government, citizens, sensor infrastructure and so on. Particularly, it focuses on the Query Mapper, a key component of this platform devised to democratize the development of Open Data based mobile urban apps. The advantages from the developers’ perspective brought forward by IES Cities are evaluated by describing an exemplary urban app created on top of it.

These stakeholders form the quadruple helix, i.e., citizens, private companies, research institutes and public administrations. Through the application of open innovation, open data and open services paradigms, the framework developed within the WeLive project enables the co-creation of urban apps. In this paper, we extend the description of the WeLive platform presented at, plus the preliminary results of the first pilot phase. The two-phase evaluation methodology designed and the evaluation results of first pilot sub-phase are also presented.
