Scaling IoT with Open Data, Yodit Stanton (OSHCamp 2016)
Channel: AB Open
Date: 2017-08-29

In this talk, Yodit will make the case that Open Data is the best practical way to make IoT in work within the 'Smart Cities' context. She will talk about examples of community sensing projects from all over the world from air quality to water quality. The digitisation of public spaces means that sensors are deployed in a number of contexts from environmental to traffic, practically this data is useful to lots of people and reuse is vital.

* Yodit Stanton is a data nerd and machine learning developer who runs OpenSensors.io. OpenSensors provides data infrastructure for the Internet of Things enabling anyone to publish real time open data from sensor networks. OpenSensors came out of my her own frustration at not being able to find real time information about the world and we are fixing that... As the physical world becomes digitised making sure people and not just businesses understand the data within their own context is especially important for IoT to succeed.
