Directions [Set of 8 Questions]: Read
the following passage carefully and
answer the questions that follow.
Data is the new oil. Like oil, data also needs
to be refined for productive use. Advances in
digital technology are making it possible to
collect, store and process ever-expanding
amounts of data. This burgeoning of data
holds vast potential to boost innovation,
productivity, and ultimately, economic
growth and social value. Governments,
FCI MANAGER PT - 2
especially city administrations, need to
explore options to monetize the data, both
structured and raw, so as to create revenue
sources that would help cities become self-
sustainable. It is all the more important for
India, as cities are trying to optimize their
urban service delivery by implementing
"Integrated Pan City Smart Solutions" under
the Smart City Mission by generating huge
volumes of data.
Copenhagen was the world's first city to
monetize public and private data through its
City Data Exchange. It has set up a city
exchange in collaboration with a private
partner to create a marketplace for
processed city data. Some of the data sets
available on the platform relate to traffic and
route planning, advertising, use of public
spaces, tourism, cultural events and
location-specific offerings. The exchange
brings suppliers and consumers of data
together and acts as a data market. Data
suppliers monetize existing data and find
new channels for information and services.
Similarly, data consumers find access to
multiple data sources, which enables new
and improved applications as well as new
inputs for planning and forecasting.
However, certain information that's useful to
citizens is provided free.
Depending on the size of a city, its
population and infrastructure, the
opportunities for data monetization could be
enormous. Data monetizing platforms
(DMPs) can be created at city levels in India
by integrating various data sources. These
DMPs can act as data markets for the
exchange of processed and analyzed data.
For example, any data related to the
environment or traffic may be useful for a
research scholar, who could avail of it via the
platform. Similarly, geo-spatial data related
to utilities will be useful to planners and
developers, who will be willing to buy such
data at a premium. Analytic firms and app
developers can use raw city data to create
applications and analytics, which can be
used for business development.
Different types of data sets generated both in
geospatial and non-spatial form by different
smart solutions or utilities are to be
classified as either shareable or non-
shareable data. The former could be "open
access", offered over the internet in a user-
friendly format without any process of
authorization; access could be given through
a prescribed process of registration. Line
departments in city governments could
prepare a "negative list" of non-sharable
data, which would be periodically reviewed.
Data prices should depend on the category of
information. Some of the open-source data
can be free of cost, whereas registered source
data can be charged. The charges should
keep in view the overall business model of
the DMA and its sustainability over a pre-
defined period. The government may have
the right to collect a share of revenues,
depending on the profitability of the system.
