CloudifyNoiPA adheres to open data policies and aims to enhance the value of public sector information through the promotion of a culture of greater transparency within public administration. According to the Open Data Paradigm, data processed by the public administration must be made accessible and usable, while respecting the rules on the protection of personal data.

In line with the foregoing, on September 6, the "Infrastructure" team met the competent provider in order to start the activities directed to the creation, implementation and population of CloudifyNoiPA’s Data Lake.

A Data Lake is a large storage repository that holds a vast amount of raw and unstructured data, in their native format. The collection of data in such a format and within a single repository gives the chance to analyse data from different sources even in cases in which this is not normally possible. Using a data lake thus increases the possibility of sharing and analyzing information.

Using Machine Learning Methodologies and Artificial Intelligence on its Data Lake CloudifyNoiPA will be able to provide the public with the best type of open data, namely Linked Open Data (LOD).

Linked Open Data are a special kind of open data because they can be linked semantically even when they come from different sources. They thus provide their users with more information than the ones normally provided by the most common types of open data.
