[Simple] New Blockchain-Based Solution For Smart Cities<\/a><\/h3>\n

Telecommunications company Orange has partnered with Polish blockchain company Smartkey to improve access controls to buildings and city services across Poland. Several city governments already use Orange\u2019s IoT platform to remotely manage city services such as street lighting control. The partnership builds upon this technology by integrating Smartkey\u2019s blockchain solution, which ensures that the data from the IoT sensors cannot be falsified after its creation. When combined, the two platforms will enable authorized city residents to gain quicker access to specific buildings and city and commercial services. Eighty cities will participate in the initial rollout.\u00a0#blockchain<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#cities<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#poland<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[Intermediate] Training AI Systems to Code<\/a><\/h3>\n
IBM has released an open dataset of coding samples, which demonstrate programming tasks, to help train AI systems to write code. The dataset, known as Project CodeNet, includes 14 million code samples in 55 different programming languages. Researchers at IBM have already begun using the dataset to train AI systems to write code and found that the systems achieved a 90 percent accuracy rate in most code classification and code similarity experiments.\u00a0#ai<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#ibm<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[Intermediate] Tracking SARS-CoV-2 variants<\/a><\/h3>\n
All viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, change over time. Most changes have little to no impact on the virus\u2019 properties. However, some changes may affect the virus\u2019s properties, such as how easily it spreads, the associated disease severity, or the performance of vaccines, therapeutic medicines, diagnostic tools, or other public health and social measures.\u00a0#coronavirus<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#who<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[Intermediary] The Data Delusion<\/a><\/h3>\n
The more collective the harm, the less people are protected and the less visible it is. The more the harm is individual, the more visible its impacts are and the more people are legally protected. If a person is discriminated against because of protected characteristics such as their age, gender or ethnicity, it will be visible to them and they will hopefully be in a position to seek redress. When a person is discriminated against due to an algorithmic decision, it is likely to be less visible and, currently, hard to seek redress. #data-literacy<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#privacy<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#report<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[Advanced] FAIR Data Maturity Model. Specification and Guidelines<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability \u2013 the FAIR principles \u2013 intend to define a minimal set of related but independent and separable guiding principles and practices that enable both machines and humans to find, access, interoperate and re-use data and metadata. The FAIR principles were defined in 2016 in an article by Mark Wilkinson et. al. The principles have to be considered as inspiring concepts but not strict rules. This means that they may lead to diverse interpretations and ambiguity.<\/p>\n

To remedy the proliferation of FAIRness measurements based on different interpretations of the principles, the RDA Working Group \u201cFAIR data maturity model\u201d established in January 2019 aims to develop a common set of core assessment criteria for FAIRness, as an RDA Recommendation. In the course of 2019 and the first half of 2020, the WG established a set of indicators and maturity levels for those indicators. As a result of the work, a first set of guidelines and a checklist related to the implementation of the indicators were produced, with the objective to further align the guidelines for evaluating FAIRness with the needs of the community. #fair<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#interoperability<\/a><\/p>\n
