This webinar is performed as part of the Safeguarding Personal Data protection in an Open data World project that received the financial support of the Dutch NWO/STW-Maps4Society program (project number 13718).
Dr. Lorenzo Dalla Corte dissertation entitled Safeguarding data protection in an open data world; On the idea of balancing open dataand data protection in the development of the smart city environment is now available online.
On 18 May, Lorenzo presented and defended his dissertation entitled “Safeguarding Data Protection in an Open Data World”. And did it very successfully. Congratulations Lorenzo!
On Monday May 18th at 1:30pm Lorenzo Dalla Corte will defend his thesis “Safeguarding Data Protection in an Open Data World – on the idea of balancing data protection and open data in the development of the ’smart city’ environment”.

The main research question the idea that data protection’s material scope would purportedly be overstretching, by virtue of both technological development and of its judicial and doctrinal interpretation, which would, in theory, compress the amount and kinds of information that can be shared and reused as open data – a core element of the development of the ’smart city’ environment.
The Knowledge Centre Open Data received an Erasmusplus grant for the SPIDER: open SPatial data Infrastructure eDucation nEtwoRk project. In the 3-year project, the Knowledge Centre will collaborate with Bochum University of Applied Sciences, KU Leuven, Lund University and the University of Zagreb. Its overarching objective is to promote and strengthen active learning and teaching towards Open spatial data infrastructures.
In the past 20 years, European public authorities have invested considerable resources in the development of spatial data infrastructures (SDIs). With the European INSPIRE Directive as an important driver, national SDIs were developed throughout Europe to facilitate and coordinate the exchange and sharing of geographic data. These SDIs initially focused on data sharing among public authorities as a closed system. Currently, SDI education around the globe is characterized by single disciplinary or siloed views missing out on opportunities of a holistic, multidisciplinary view on SDIs. In addition, the recent Open SDI trend has not been implemented in any SDI curriculum yet. Moreover, teaching methods are still limited to traditional teaching in the classroom. As a consequence, there is barely an international exchange of educational material and approaches on open SDI among universities. An overview and detailed analysis of existing SDI education is unavailable and an international platform facilitating the SDI education is lacking. The SPIDER project aims to overcome these shortcomings.
On October 9th the KCOD as part of the SPIDER project presented the concept of Open SDI and its legal and ethical challenges to students of Wageningen University as part of the seminar Seminar Geodata, Citizens and Ethics. The presentation ‘Open SDI: Restoring the balance‘ addressed issues arising from the increasing amount of open government data in relation to the available non government data. The concept of open SDI may restore the information balance between government and non-government.
