MAS: Manifesto for Agile Standardization

The Manifesto for Agile Standardization (MAS) describes the 7 principles that we apply to the Smart Data Models program.

0. Don't just standardize, be agile and standardize
1. Do not reinvent the wheel
2. Normalize real cases
3. Be open
4. Don't be overly specific
5. Flat not Deep
6. Sustainability is key

If you want to read the agile standardization manifesto’s complete explanation a one-page document is located at the root of our data models repository.

 

Announcements widget. Just thanks

Not all changes in the data models are reported with a blog post, Twitter dissemination o LinkedIn post. But if you notice there is a widget in the right part of the front page (scroll down till Announcements) where these tiny changes are reported (see the image or browse the front page).

Most of them are issues, suggestions or PR solved thanks to the collaboration of the community. They make the data models better for all.

We cannot say thanks individually to all of them but please feel our gratitude.

You can download all of the tiny annoncements from this simple text file.

Just thanks

3 new data models for environment (and mobility)

There are 3 new data models coming from the collaboration with the GreenMov project.

They are located at the Environment subject.

  • NoisePollutionForecast. Noise Pollution forecast stores the expectation about noise pollution based on some input elements and the noise elements present.
  • TrafficEnvironmentImpact. Environmental Impact of traffic based on the vehicles traffic and their emission characteristics

  • TrafficEnvironmentImpactForecast. Environmental Impact of traffic based on the vehicles’ traffic expectations and their emission characteristics

Connecting Open Data Soft open data with Smart Data Models for drafting new data models

Many of the datasets published in open data portals are extensively used elsewhere. Well-maintained portals have managers that document the data structure and provide definitions of the types and contents of every field in these datasets. These are some of the requirements for the successful publication of a new Smart Data Model.

With this simple python script (and others to come) at the utils folder it can be drafted a JSON schema compliant with the Smart Data Models Program contribution manual. It is an early version (not everything is updated) but you can check it out.

 Parameters:
– base url of the ODS portal
– dataset_id of the dataset
Returns:
A draft json schema compliant with Smart Data Models Program,

some limitations: it does not translate descriptions (required in English)
some data types
It prints the schema and also returns (if possible a file named schema.json)

test it with this command
