Why data sovereignty is vital for communes?
Data sovereignty empowers communes to control their data, fostering trust, transparency, and better decision-making. In an era where municipalities use data for transport, safety, and waste management, sovereignty ensures they can access and manage this resource independently.

Introduction to open data and its value
In this video, you will be introduced to the concept of open data - what it is, why it matters, and how it can be leveraged for various purposes. You will learn about the principles of open data, its significance in promoting transparency, innovation, and collaboration, and the ways it can be used across different fields, from research and business to governance and social impact.

Geographic open data
In this video, we explore the concept of open geographic data - what it is, why it is important, and how it can be effectively shared. We will discuss the key benefits of making geographic data openly accessible, including improved urban planning, environmental monitoring, and community engagement. Additionally, we highlight the essential factors that municipalities need to consider when opening their geographic data, such as data quality, privacy concerns, technical standards, and legal frameworks.

Use and dissemination of open data
In this video, we delve into the practical applications and distribution of open data. How can organizations, businesses, and individuals harness open data to create real value, both internally and externally? We explore concrete examples of how open data drives innovation, enhances decision-making, and fosters collaboration across sectors. Additionally, we discuss best practices for disseminating open data effectively, ensuring accessibility, usability, and impact. Looking ahead, we examine the future potential of open data, from AI-driven insights to smart cities and beyond.
