Project description
Creating Europe’s new geospatial data marketplace
Geospatial data underpin all applications, services and products. A trusted, secure, and highly scalable Europe-wide industrial geospatial data market is essential to act as a single point for the streamlined and trusted discovery, sharing, trading, remuneration, and use of proprietary geospatial data assets. The EU-funded OpertusMundi project will develop this missing component from the EU’s data economy inspired by the industry-led challenges of the fragmented geospatial data value chain in the EU. The marketplace will be able to accommodate the current and future needs of data economy stakeholders – of all sizes and domains. In addition to creating this industrial data platform, the project will also ensure its sustainable operation.
Objective
OpertusMundi will deliver a trusted, secure, and highly scalable pan-European industrial geospatial data market, which will act as a single-point for the streamlined and trusted discovery, sharing, trading, remuneration, and use of proprietary and commercial geospatial data assets, guaranteeing low-cost and flexibility to accommodate the current and emerging needs of Data Economy stakeholders regardless of their size, domain, and expertise. Our goal is inspired by, and grounded on, the real-world landscape and industry-led challenges of the fragmented geospatial data value chain in the EU, the most valuable and foundational thematic area of proprietary data, aiming to deliver a critical missing component and enabler for EU’s Data Economy. The output of our work will go beyond the simple provision of an Industrial Data Platform, ensuring its sustainable and profitable operation after the end of the project.
