2.1.2 Session 1: BigDataEurope: State-of-play
Following the introductory presentations the round table was first asked whether the Big Data
Europe platform would be useful for SMEs. The BDE platform should be useful for both larger
organisations and SMEs; in fact if the platform is not useful for SMEs this would be a failing on
BDE's part. The platform is designed with several key features in mind that help make it
accessible to SMEs:
● The platform is open source, so there is no cost to SMEs
● Installation is simple - if you can install Windows, you can install the BDE platform
● The straightforward interface makes it easy to understand which components are
involved in what
● Through BDE workshops, webinars and pilots we have demonstrated examples and
prototypes that SMEs can learn from and build on
The second question raised was that of data quality. The BDE platform does not directly
address data veracity, other than detecting anomalies. However it is possible to apply data-
cleaning algorithms within the platform, and the platform is provenance aware, allowing users
to verify the sources of all data. SC1 has made the most progress in addressing data quality,
as the data ingested is curated and acknowledges different perspectives on quality with the
"lenses" concept.
Also discussed was the issue of the variety of data in biology: How can we address integration
of complex variables, and combine different kinds of data to derive new knowledge? BDE may
in fact be the best way to address this. Significant progress has been made with data volume
and velocity, and we are now focussing on data variety. Recognising that it would be difficult
to get different sectors to agree on a single data model, BDE has focussed on semantic data
integration to deal with variety of data and metadata. In SC1 in particular, work has been
focussed on real-life data integration questions, and the minimum effort required to link the
necessary data to answer them. Next steps will be to find and address new questions and use
cases, and consider links with other Societal Challenges (e.g. food safety in agriculture).
2.1.3 Session 2: BDE Pilot Project – Open PHACTS
D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 11
After discussing the 7 different BDE pilots in detail a live demonstration of the SC1 Open
PHACTS pilot, using the dev.openphacts.org interface, was given; followed by a demonstration
of how to install the BDE platform itself.
Using examples questions such as finding the side effects of paracetamol, it was explained
how BDE made significant progress on data integration. The key challenges at the time of the
workshop were the development of better interface designs, and supporting ways to answer
specific questions using the integrated data.
2.1.4 Session 3: Round Table Interactive discussion
This round table discussion was guided by three questions participants were asked to consider.
The questions and the resulting discussions are summarised below.
2.1.4.1. Which projects should we be engaging with that could benefit from a big data
platform?
Round table members suggested several existing and upcoming projects for BDE SC1 to
consider engaging with:
● In the eHealth unit of DG CONNECT there are four new big data projects running as
of 1 November 2016, and two more coming up in a call about policy-making around
healthcare. The existing four projects1 are:
○ MIDAS (focused on evidence-based actionable information from health policy
sources)
○ EVOTION (focused on a holistic approach to hearing loss)
○ BigO (focused on childhood and adolescent obesity)
○ PULSE (focused on changing public health from a reactive to a predictive
system)
Action: Supporting the Project Officer, Saila Rinne will email to follow up on possible
collaborations; SC1 should consider inviting the PIs of these projects to our follow-up
webinar for this workshop.

D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 12
● Several IMI and IMI 2 projects would be worth looking into, including:
○ EMIF (developing a common information framework of patient-level data)
○ Big Data for Better Outcomes projects (IMI 2 Call 6)
2.1.4.2. What pilot use cases can you foresee in your area?
The round table held a long and interesting discussion about potential use cases for a big data
platform in various areas of health.
One suggestion raised by the round table was post-hoc integration of clinical data. Potentially
there are patterns and knowledge that could be extracted from these data, but at the moment
there are several challenges associated with deriving any meaningful information from them:
● Doctors carry out clinical assessments use a variety of questionnaires, and results
are recorded and stored in a variety of formats.
● The language used may introduce bias, for example “Are you feeling well today?”
versus “Are you feeling ill today?”.
● Clinical observations are based on subjective perceptions, and different people will
describe the same phenomenon in different ways - it is difficult to record such
observations in ways that will be useful at a later date.
Integrating data in this area would require solving the problem of validating language across
different versions of questionnaires, and as with other SC1 applications, keeping a clear “audit
trail” of data provenance and versions. Once integrated, it may be possible to identify patterns
of bias within the data, as well as deriving new knowledge from it.
Following on from this, the round table discussed the possibility of connecting clinical trial data
to genome datasets. Several potential benefits of this were suggested, including:
● Understanding why drugs work better on certain groups of people
● Avoiding potential overdoses in cases where tolerance is hard to estimate in advance
● Avoiding side effects of drugs for example in older patients
● Distinguishing between diseases with similar symptoms but different causes
● Using genes to identify clusters of patients to be treated differently
D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 13
It was clear from the discussion that this is an extremely complex problem, and that although
the vision of this kind of personalised medicine has existed for at least 20 years, it is still a
highly ambitious one and likely to take decades more to realise actual results.
The round table raised the point that one major concern with moving towards clinical data and
patient records is of course privacy. In the previous SC1 workshop a lot of ideas were
suggested around connecting pharmacological data to patient records, but addressing the
much broader issue of patient privacy concerns is a problem that is out of scope for the BDE
platform - there are no specific components being worked on to address privacy issues.
As an alternative, the round table discussed the possibility of deriving meaningful knowledge
from data that individuals share voluntarily, for example from data gathered from devices like
Fitbits. This is already being done in the USA; the FDA has a model for clinical trials using user
data, and assessing whether these data comply with safety rules and regulations. It was
suggested that if industries can feed back useful insights from user data, this might motivate
users to share more personal data. Even today, many people would be likely to agree to
sharing their anonymised data. However there is a legitimate concern about whether it is
possible to entirely anonymise such data, and if not, what degree of “anonymisation” would be
required to protect users.
The round table went on to discuss some of the legal uncertainty around the idea of voluntarily
donating personal data. In particular, secondary uses of data would be difficult to obtain
informed consent for, as informed consent must be targeted and explicit, and potential
secondary uses by their very nature are not always known or understood when data is
collected. In the round table’s understanding, existing legislation would not allow secondary
uses of patient data even when patients have given consent to use their data. Although
regulations are expected in 2018 to allow secondary uses of data for scientific research, there
is a crucial need for clear guidance to interpreting these regulations.
Another possible source of data discussed was data made public via social media. For
example, would it be possible to analyse Tweets for patients’ discussions of treatments and
side effects? Some pharmacovigilance projects like this already exist, but may be influenced
by reporting bias. Andrew Bate, of New York University and Pfizer, is an expert in this area
that could be contacted.
2.1.4.3. Which areas are a future focus for new collaborations?
D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 14
Several opportunities for collaborations had already been discussed in the context of potential
pilot cases. Before discussing broader collaborations, the round table asked for clarification on
plans for the roll-out and sustainability of the BDE platform. Steps discussed for sustainability
of the BDE platform included:
● Some pilots will continue beyond the end of the project
● We are identifying groups, communities and individuals who have needs similar to the
BDE platform, to take the project results forward
● We are also looking for new pilots
● A three-year Horizon 2020 project will include the BDE platform, and as the
architecture is very generic, the platform could be included as a feature in other
project proposals
● Wherever possible the platform uses external building blocks and components that are
maintained by their owners, to minimise maintenance
● An advantage of developing on a collaborative platform like GitHub means there is
scope for contributions from people outside the project
● TenForce will also help deliver on this front
Several options for collaborations across Societal Challenges were discussed, including:
● Linking pharmacological data to agriculture data, to measure food safety
● Linking agriculture and climate data, to potentially predict future soil and climate
properties and plant the most appropriate crops
● Connecting climate and weather data to datasets like SafeCast’s crowdsourced data
about radioactivity, in this case to predict the effects of any future nuclear disaster
● Connecting health and logistics data, as with the case in Barcelona where unexplained
spikes in asthma attacks were eventually linked to shipments of grain arriving in
harbour
● Linking logistics data to other health effects, such as the psychological impact of
heavier traffic
At this stage no concrete cross-pilot collaborations have been explored within BDE, but the
round table suggested that food safety would be the closest neighbor to the SC1 pilot. Some
protein data, for example, is already included in the Open PHACTS datasets and would also
be relevant to food safety.
D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 15
One specific opportunity for collaboration was raised by Roger Lim, who suggested having a
BDE SC1 workshop during eHealth Week 2017 (10-12 May 2017). The conference is likely to
attract a lot of SMEs interested in big data and health, and co-locating our final SC1 workshop
with the conference would be a valuable opportunity to understand the needs of SMEs.
2.1.4.4 Further Discussions
The round table engaged in some more general discussion about the uses and limitations of
big data as a whole. Hypothesis generation was thought to be a key application of big data
analysis. In some cases it may be difficult to isolate comparable populations to prove
hypotheses with big data, but even then, analysis can be useful to detect anomalies for further
investigation by humans. In other cases big data analysis may simply end up reproducing
knowledge we already know - but even this is useful to prove that the analytical algorithms
work as they should.

2.2.2 Workshop Overview
The 2nd workshop in domain of the EU Societal Challenge 6 - Europe in a Changing World:
Inclusive, Innovative and Reflective Societies (SC6) was held on 5 December 2016 in Cologne,
Germany. It was organised by the Consortium of Social Science Data Archives - CESSDA and
the Semantic Web Company – SWC, both beneficiaries in the BigDataEurope project and co-
located with the EDDI2016 conference2 hosted by GESIS – Leibniz Institute for Social
Sciences.
The BDE team introduced the project, role of the host institutions and associate partners in it
(CESSDA, SWC and NCSR Demokritos), as well as the current state of play with emphasis
on past results, current developments in each SC and dissemination activities. Also the BDE
Aggregator Platform (objectives, architecture, comparison with other big data platforms) was
presented in a short talk.
The central theme of this workshop was the SC6 Pilot (Citizens Budget on Municipal Level)
built on the BDE Platform, which was presented and discussed. Increased number of
municipalities are publishing Budget Execution Data (income and expenses on a daily, weekly,
monthly basis). SC6 team is currently dealing with three municipalities’ budget execution data
in detail (provided and coordinated by NCSR Demokritos). The Pilot provides such data
aggregated, normalised and finally analysed in the form of financial ratios to the users (the
data and the visualisations are available). Further data from additional data sources should
be integrated in the 2nd step of the Pilot realisation.

D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 19
Furthermore the pilot of SC7 (Secure Societies) was briefly presented as of the request by the
audience to give more examples of the use of the BDE Platform.
Although it was originally planned to have 3 parallel sessions, due to only few participants it
was decided on spot to tackle all issues one by one and get direct input from all participants.
This approach led to unexpected amount of feedback and information provided in relaxed and
informal atmosphere by workshop participants. Results of the three discussions are
summarised in the next section.
2.2.3 Results of Roundtable Discussions
2.2.3.1 Topic 1 - Big data use cases in Social Sciences and Humanities
Eurostat Big data task force representative presented several use cases: pilot on mobile data
in partnerships with telecom companies with estimations of residential population and tourists;
NSIs web scraping of job posts in collaboration with DG-employment; one more pilot on
enterprises’ webpages in order to obtain information that might be useful for business registers,
information interesting for DG-societies statistics, and to see what is being sold; pilot on using
smart meters in Denmark and Estonia to gather energy consumption data, or occupancy of
houses and apartments (constantly or partially); vessel tracker website gathering information
on ship’s journey i.e. speed, destination, fuel expenditure, CO2 emissions etc. Eurostat also
performs analysis of Wikipedia data in context of tourism data; it started with World heritage
website, but now they have data on cities (identifying sites and points of interest for people)
and relationship between registered visits and actual visits.
Representative of Tartu University explained that their geography department deals with
mobile phones positioning and migrations of Estonians in other countries and vice-versa.
Political science department is analysing the efficiency of E-government. Unfortunately, the
only open source data available to students are Internet and social media, and University has
a well-developed media and social networks research institute, but problem is the lack of data
mining and analysis tools.
2.2.3.2 Topic 2 - Requirements for successful Big data management in Social Sciences and
Humanities
Mutual conclusion was that analysis tools are not in place; most data is not (really) publicly
available, and getting the data in is the most difficult part. In Slovenia all scientific work on
network analysis and publications from professors can be linked and tracked. Twitter data is
possible to get, but not Twitter data with geo locations. Many disciplines in Social Sciences are
D2.6 – v. 0.6
Page 20
interconnected and it is almost impossible to separate Social Sciences data from mobile or
transport data. Individual researchers cannot obtain data from companies. It was spotted that
the new General Data Protection Regulation serves only big companies, but if everyone used
more open data, then everyone could benefit from it more.
DDI standards are not applied in big data. Just patterns and no reason for them. BDE platform
has the semantic layer, but is not DDI compliant. Data management in big data means basically
collecting what is already there, and making structure in primary data, but regular research
involves collecting data from the beginning.
MyData2016 conference (http://mydata2016.org/) - personal data has increasingly significant
social, economic, and practical value. Personal (my) data can be offered for research. One
thing is lack of tools and other is lack of knowledge that should be tackled through curricular
reforms. In all scientific fields good data and metadata should be provided, but they all struggle
with it.
2.2.3.3 Topic 3 - Citizen’s budget on municipal level
Ljubljana municipality data are still on yearly basis (as reports). Sending results from BDE can
have an impact and influence other European municipalities to do the same. During the
session, the following suggestion were provided for improvement of the current state of the
SC6 pilot: features make a difference not so much raw data, and features should be user
friendly. Linking data with geographic information (providing link to geographic names) or to a
certain project can be useful and informative.
2.2.4 Final Session and Workshop Summary At the end of the SC6 workshop all available possibilities to use BDE communication- and
community channels, to stay in touch and become a part of the community, were presented
and all questions around the project and the pilot as well as potential follow-up were answered.
Furthermore the published H2020 call, relevant for SC6, was presented to the audience: the
related EC Call on Big Data, open until 02 February 2017: Policy-development in the age of
big data: data-driven policy-making, policy-modelling and policy-implementation3.
Although the number of participants was relatively small (in opposite to the 2015 workshop in
Luxembourg; as well as the no-show rate of this workshop was higher than in the last
3https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/opportunities/h2020/topics/co-creation-06-2017.html.
D2.6 – v. 0.6

workshop) the discussions and results very very rich and thereby the workshop was great
success. The participants were highly interested in the project, the pilot and the BDE
technologies and tools. The participant from eurostat even pointed out, that the eurostat Big
Data working group will try out the the BDE Aggregator Platform - the BDI, Big Data Integrator
and is also willing to provide some feedback. All participants are interested to receive more
future information from BDE project and become part of the BDE SC6 community. Finally the
workshop team pointed the audience to the follow up SC6 webinar planned for January 2017
on the topic of Virtual Currency Ecosystems.
