"Open Data and Big Data – The Impact on Digital Society and Smart Cities“

Urban Mobility and Smart Cities – a perspective from European R&D

Günter Koch, Humboldt Cosmos Multiversity

“One could argue that Amsterdam was the first Smart City in the world; not with the start of our Smart cCity program in 2009, but as early as the end of the 16th century when Amsterdam began to grow in importance as a trading city. One of the key reasons that Amsterdam became one of the richest cities of that time, with over 50% of all the sea-vessels in the world departing and arriving at its harbour, was the availability of data on trade and cargo. In a physical square of 400 by 400 meters all the information on the cargo, destination and ownership of all these vessels was gathered. This enabled tradesman to trade cargo that hadn’t even been offloaded from the vessel yet and to compare one another’s products. The rich data enabled the start of the first stock exchange and the opportunity for everybody to invest in trade, generating investments never seen before. Financial newspapers shared the information with everybody who wanted it. Essentially, it was a data driven economy with Open Data avant la lettre”. Eberhard van der Laan, Mayor of Amsterdam

Cities were always smart – that‘s part of their definiton

An interesting definition: “My understanding of the term "semantics" is that words can be manipulated to influence human thought and action. George Orwell had a good grasp of the concept, for example: “Newspeak” . Please look up "semantics" in a dictionary for a more professional definition”. by Friend of Tell March 06, 2009 in the “Urban Dictionary”

Semantics is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs and symbols and what they stand for, their denotation…forms of semantics include the semantics of programming languages, formal logics, and semiotics.

In computer science the term semantics refers to the meaning of languages, as opposed to their form (syntax) . Semantics provides the rules for interpreting the syntax which do not provide the meaning directly but constrains the possible interpretations of what is declared. In other words, semantics is about interpretation of an expression. Additionally, the term is applied to certain types of data structures specifically designed and used for representing information content.

A semantic network is a network which represents semantic relations between concepts. This is often used as a form of knowledge representation. It is a directed or undirected graph consisting of vertices, which represent concepts, and edges
