Summary:
|
SG20 has carried out a considerable amount of work on data interoperability from a technical point of view with many recommendations on different aspects of this topic. However, without a clear understanding of how to achieve semantic and operational interoperability the impact of the work may be limited.
ITU has developed a foundational piece of work on this topic in FG-DPM. Other work has been done elsewhere, including the European Interoperability Framework for Smart Cities and Communities. This work would build on these to provide a framework for interoperability that sets technical interoperability alongside, for instance, semantic and operational interoperability.
The U4SSC report “Redefining smart city platforms: Setting the stage for Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms” points out that: “Interoperability is one of the main challenges – and opportunities – in the development of smart sustainable cities and communities, using digital technologies to become more resilient, liveable and attractive for inhabitants and businesses.
“The goal is to develop platforms that can allow key stakeholders, including governments, businesses, knowledge institutions and inhabitants, to communicate and work together across domains. The key to achieving this goal is in defining modular and scalable, multi-layered ICT solutions to enable cross-domain interoperability, moving beyond existing siloed solutions that address specific challenges such as improvement of traffic flows, surveillance, smart lighting, among others.
The report goes on to say that: “It is also important to recognize that interoperability is not just related to digital technology. The GridWise Architecture Council’s eight-layer stack can help in understanding the context for determining interoperability requirements and defining exchanges of information.
The Gridwise eight layer stack highlights that iteroparity is needed, not simply to cover technical issues, but also semantic, operational and regulatory.
This Recommendation would explore those aspects of interoperability that are not usually the focus of SG20 deliverables and would provide guidance as to how smart cities and communities could address the organisational and other barriers to interoperability of data.
