Hosting a data collab project is similar to co-writing a Google Doc where people compose the words while the software provides suggestions and automates access controls and backup.
Data collab projects typically focus on one of the following domains:
Data Privacy and Data Protection
Sustainability & Cleantech
Public Health
Smart Cities
Finance & Open Banking
Public Education
Open Society
Agriculture & Food Security
Owners are invited to grant the DCA access to their datasets for re-use in multiple digital solutions that are hosted in our Collaboration Hub, including:
Reference datasets, data catalogs
Dashboards
Precision maps
Web applications
All apps and dashboards are built using a pioneering Data Collaboration Platform so that the data is never copied and the controls set by data owners are never eroded.
Yes. The Data Collaboration Alliance supports volunteers across a variety of project operations, including
Connecting data sources (e.g. spreadsheets, databases)
Setting up data tables / schemas
Creating data collection forms
Automating data governance / access controls
Building digital solutions e.g. dashboards, maps, web apps
Sure! Check out these free anonymous apps-for-good that have been delivered as a result of data collab projects:
Our development process complies with Zero-Copy Integration, a new national standard that defines the parameters for true data collaboration, including the elimination of app-specific databases and copy-based data integration.
The result is meaningful control for all data stakeholders and new digital solutions delivered with unprecented control, collaboration, and cost-effectiveness.
We welcome applications from organizations who are interested in sponsoring a new data collab / app-for-good project.
We also offer sponsorship packages for the free applications already available in the app marketplace of our Collaboration Hub.
