KNOWLEDGE-BASED CITY DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

Application of knowledge graphs and reusable building blocks for city digital transformation
Digital City Planner
Solution for city transformation with pre-installed knowledge base
Key Issues for Smart City transformation
Transforming cities is a complex task that requires new approaches and management technologies:

— Number of tasks, stakeholders, problem-solving ways and approaches is growing
— Life speed is increasing: people needs the newest innovation technologies and applications
— New services for businesses, citizens and the government appear, however services by themselves can be a chaotic system
Problem space
Do you want to...
  • … minimize hiring top/external consultants (including benchmark)
  • … have an easy access to the world best practices and experience in smart city area
  • … have a holistic and evidence-based smart city development system
  • … collect, prepare and pack knowledge for reuse and worldwide replication
Innovation
Our product represents a new way for designing and planning of smart city domains and solutions using world best practices and methodologies via knowledge services

Smart Reviews
"The Open Research Knowledge Graph utilizes the recent progress in information technologies to build the next generation digital libraries for semantic scientific knowledge. We aim to describe scientific knowledge in a structured, machine-interpretable way. This will help researchers find relevant contributions to their field and create state-of-the-art comparisons and reviews"
