From September to November 2017, assisted by PhD candidates Ricardo Matheus and Agung Wahyudi, Prof. Marijn Janssen gave classes of I&C Architecture Design (SEN1611 — http://www.studiegids.tudelft.nl/a101_displayCourse.do?course_id=41373).

The final assignment purposed to students design and prototype a data-driven smart service delivery using completely or partially the OGI ICT Toolkit. The result of acceptance gave to us a preliminary evaluation of acceptance and what are the challenges of development for OGI Project.

Further, the final applications showed the potential of OGI ICT Toolkit. Part of students used the tool kits to Open and Link the statistical data sets identified. Other part of students used the technical environment created by OGI for complex data analysis between several data sets, including some with high number of dimensions. Here a list of some results:

2- Accessible Arts in The Hague

The second application created aimed to help policy-makers in The Hague to reduce barriers for people visit Artistic and Historical buildings in the Dutch city. Below you can see the Map combining Artistic and Historical building positions with public transportation stops. Further, another picture showing the concentration of Artistic and Historical Building in The Hague.

3- Smart Farming in Europe using Real-Time Data from Copernicus Satellite

Another group created an application that can use the statistical data from Copernicus Satellite to identify where, what and how much have been produced in each of the European country. This application can be used by policy-makers previewing shortage of food and National security taking into consideration the several databases that Copernicus can offer such as fire, snow and others. Below the picture shows the example of Cucumber, oranges and peaches production in France, Italy and Spain.
