STARTER PACKS / SMART CITY

OPEN CITY DATA PORTAL AND API

STARTER PACK

90 DAYS - €7,400

PUBLISH AND SHARE DATASETS WITH DCAT-AP METADATA.

problem

CITIES HAVE DATA BUT NOT WAYS TO SHARE IT MEANINGFULLY.

Common symptoms  

DATA IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS SYSTEMS

Hard to access.

OPEN DATA PORTALS ARE STATIC

Updating is manual.

DEVELOPERS CANNOT BUILD ON CITY DATA

APIs missing.

TRANSPARENCY LACKS TOOLING

Effort is symbolic.

 CITIES DON’T NEED OPEN DATA PROMISES. THEY NEED OPERATIONAL APIS. YES, REALLY.

solution

 We start with 100 datasets from existing operational sources because this gives you 80% of value in 90 days with minimal cost and no risk.
HOW WE APPROACH THIS

(simple and a bit refreshing)

We link operational sources to an open data portal with automated dataset publishing.

We connect it using:

  • ETSI NGSI-LD Smart Data Models.
  • The Data Catalog layer (already part of Vela Context Data Hub).
  • Your existing systems and IT infrastructure.
No disruption, no platform migration, and no “strategic masterplan alignment committees”. 

Once the first dataset is flowing → transparency, dashboards, and real decisions become possible.

Then we expand - only if it’s worth it.
What You Get (in 90 Days)
 
  • Public open data portal.
  • Dataset catalog.
  • API access.
  • Publishing workflows.
THIS IS YOUR OPERATIONAL STARTING POINT, NOT A PILOT.
 
Who This Is For ​
 

Cities that have:

  • 10,000-500,000 residents.
  • Transparency and innovation teams.
  • Regional open-data consortia.
  • Civic research & university partners​.
If that sounds like your city → we’re aligned already.
