Curs: Enabling the Twin Digital and Green Transition via Solid and Internet of Things

Module 1: Introduction

Welcome to this “Enabling the Twin Digital and Green Transition via Solid and IoT” training course. This training provides a context on the use and sharing of citizen generated data streams, how it can impact DG Environment’s mandate to protect the environment and how Solid technology can be demonstrated with a custom developed proof of concept.

Audience

This training course is mainly intended for two types of audience:

Solid implementers or computer science students who are interested in expanding their knowledge of Solid.

Policy makers and administration officials who want to learn about unlocking the value of personal data for societal, environmental and economic benefit.

Learning journey

Understand how citizen generated data streams can be leveraged in public context
Understand what’s in it for the citizen
Understand how the challenge of protecting participating EU citizens' privacy and right to consent can be tackled
Understand how SEMIC tackles semantic interoperability across the industrial sector and how it is applied to a proof-of-concept
Understand the technology behind the proof-of-concept enabling secure and transparent data sharing

Key Takeaways

This module investigates if it is possible to use data sourced in the battery of electric vehicles to improve the design of charging grid infrastructures, or to predict whether it is possible to repurpose the battery from the vehicle to other devices with the overall effect of reducing waste.
It introduces a proof-of-concept application to demonstrate that it is feasible to use personal data for the engineering processes of green transition projects, while at the same time guaranteeing data privacy, data sovereignty, semantic interoperability and compliance with EU legal framework.

Module 2.1: The impact of data sharing

This section will give you some explanations of the current opportunities for DG-ENV to use data streams that are generated by EU citizens as well as the direct impact they have on DG-ENV mandate to care for the environment.

Key Takeaways:

SEMIC is investigating the use of personal data spaces, driven by the emerging data legislation at the European level.
The demonstration project aims to explore the feasibility of accessing and reusing IoT data from smart devices in a legally sound manner.
Opportunities arise for public authorities to obtain timely and valuable data directly from IoT devices, enabling more informed policymaking.
The project aims to promote public participation, enhance environmental democracy, and develop new business opportunities, particularly in the context of the circular economy.

Module 2.2: The impact of data sharing

In this video, you will learn more about the way EU citizens can participate and the incentives to benefit, possibly monetize from sharing their data.

Key Takeaways:

Data altruism, a concept featured in the Data Governance Act, allows citizens and private companies to share data with public authorities for free, under certain reuse conditions.
Incentivizing EU citizens to share data with public authorities is challenging and requires meaningful benefits.
Non-financial benefits, such as participating in policy development and improving public goods, can incentivize data sharing. Financial incentives, such as green credits and fiscal benefits for greener behavior, can also motivate data sharing.
Sharing data can lead to the development of new markets and business services, as well as streamlined government services.

Module 3.1: Example solution - The EV PoC

This video will tell you more about how SEMIC is tackling the challenge of protecting participating EU citizens' privacy and right to consent.

Key Takeaways:

The legal framework at the European level, including the Data Act and Data Governance Act, aims at giving ownership and control of data back to consumers.
The right to consent is a crucial aspect of data sharing, and ensuring privacy and data protection is essential.
Choosing the right technology is important to guarantee consent and privacy. The Solid protocol, with its decentralized approach and private containers called "pods," aligns well with the legal framework. It also enables individuals to have control over their data, monitor its usage, and revoke consent if needed.

Module 3.2: Example solution - The EV PoC

This section will deep dive into the way SEMIC is tackling semantic interoperability across the industrial sector involved and explain what are some of the modeling decisions made in this PoC.

Key Takeaways:

The PoC involved storing and exchanging data related to electric vehicles.
Ensuring semantic interoperability is a key challenge across the automotive sector. Various models, such as Catena-X models, Smart Data Models, Vehicle Sensor Ontology, and Schema.org, were investigated and adopted to achieve interoperability.
SEMIC Core vocabularies and Dublin Core terms were used to describe entities and enhance interoperability.
The approach allowed for data reuse and sharing without imposing obligations on car manufacturers to change their models.

Module 4: The Electric Vehicle Proof of Concept

In this video, Wouter will tell you more about how the app meets the privacy and consent requirements (in the context of the legal framework) and how SEMIC is supporting the personal data sharing ensuring data sovereignty, privacy and consent mechanism.

Key Takeaways:

Solid is a technology that facilitates the implementation of the legal framework for data sharing.
Users authenticate and provide consent for their data to be stored in their personal data space (pod), giving them control over their data.
The data holder initially collects and stores the data generated by the vehicles and makes it accessible to authorized parties.
Data recipients, such as public authorities, can access data through the standardised protocol, requiring less investment for integration, and intermediaries can bridge the gap between data holders and recipients using Solid’s standards.

Module 5: Deep dive into SOLID

In this video, more explanation on what SOLID is will be given.

Key Takeaways:

Solid is an open protocol governed by the W3C, enabling data exchange between individuals, organizations, and applications.
It allows easy reuse of data regardless of its storage location, empowering users to maintain control over their data.
Web IDs are used to identify users, applications, and organizations, facilitating transparent data exchange.
Solid eliminates the need for repetitive data sharing, promoting convenience and user control while showcasing the strength of legislation in real-life scenarios.
