DMI
Dutch Metropolitan Innovations (DMI) develops and manages an ecosystem dedicated to connecting governments, businesses, and knowledge institutions towards smart and sustainable urban development. Together, it works on sharing knowledge, enabling the secure and trusted sharing of data, developing standards, and creating innovative solutions. In doing so, the DMI accelerates processes, ensures effective governance, and enables better decision-making.
The puzzle
Challenge and Context
Urbanisation and mobility suppliers face significant challenges in reducing CO2 and nitrogen emissions. Urgent adjustments are needed in the built environment, mobility systems, energy networks, and public finances to address climate issues. This requires coordination of policies and investments among stakeholders to accelerate smart and sustainable urbanisation. Maximising the potential of information technology is essential for efficient data processing and integration while enabling controlled access.
Solution
The DMI ecosystem improves facility management and digital service accessibility. Through its Products and Data Exchange (PDX) platform, over 100 organizations easily offer and access data products. Automated governance checks log transactions, creating an auditable trail so owners retain control. The platform drives municipal data-driven decisions by monitoring opportunities and threats, evaluating progress in sustainability, urban compaction, and mobility to deliver scalable data-sharing solutions.
How it works
The DMI Ecosystem operates as a federated data space, utilising the iSHARE Trust Framework together with Dataspace Protocol (IDSA) standards. Through agreements among parties, facilitated by the PDX, it enables access to products or services.
Added Value Through the iSHARE Trust Framework
The iSHARE Trust Framework provides a robust mechanism for determining data access rights in the DMI ecosystem. It establishes a standard for identification, authentication, and authorisation and enables individual data owners to choose to share their data within reasonable limits. It helps the DMI ecosystem manage data access permissions, enhancing transparency and facilitating seamless collaboration among participants.
