Mobilize – Mining open data for information of public interest
Everyone has questions that never found an answer. Unfortunately, if we could get those answers, they would probably have a high impact on our lives. For instance, what if you could know instantly which is the best neighborhood to buy a property? Which is the best school for your kids? Where you should open a restaurant/business? These are perfectly reasonable questions that are difficult or even impossible to answer in the majority of cities nowadays.
The good news is that every day the amount and availability of open data is growing. This data, by itself or combined with other privately held information, can help get some of these questions answered. However, raw data is almost always humanly impossible to understand and reason about without the support of analytical tools. Although systems for mining information are traditionally very powerful, they are also complex, hard to use and expensive.
“Mobilize” aims to democratize access to powerful analytical tools for the common citizen and open a world of intelligence to everyone in an easy manner. “Mobilize” introduces a disruptive business model to the area of Analytics and a simple and intuitive way of creating analysis and distributing knowledge. Our product provides the algorithms and infrastructure for mining data and presenting results in a clear and intuitive manner.
Our clients can integrate “Mobilize’s” analysis into their own platforms seamlessly, thus simplifying the dissemination of information. The focus of this product is not on technology, since FIWARE already provides all the technological support we need for the project; it is on the way the system will be used, be made accessible to different types of users, give potential to the collection and distribution of information in a model “from users to users”, and how it will be monetized.
