Multi-source data management mechanism and platform

Technology title

Multi-source Data Management Mechanism and Platform

 
Technology overview

This technology includes a multi-source data management mechanism with delicate components to address issues in multi-source data collection, analysis, integration, mining and distribution, and a first possible embodiment of the mechanism in a multi-source data management platform to manage data from five sources with a high scalability and performance is also presented.

 

The product can be a commercialised multi-source data platform. The application domain can be various. However, the platform is initially designed to create a city data management platform for Smart Cities. Moreover, such a platform can also enable new services, such as DaaS (Data as a Service), which shares the data managed by the platform to third parties, and Data management as a Service, which helps organisations to manage their multi-source data.

 

This technology can be sold to all countries, especially the ones that are interested in managing multi-source data to improve the smartness of their cities. The best example is Singapore. The industries can also be various, but based on the service enabled by the platform, the bestfit companies are cloud service providers, especially the ones providing data management services, e.g. SAP, IBM, etc.

Technology specifications

The mechanism includes the following: 

  1. Data Collection Component to collect raw data from multiple sources actively and  passively;
  2. Data Analysis Component to cleanse and analyse raw data and to generate analysed data;
  3. Data Integration Component to consolidate and integrate analysed multi-source data for a consistent and unified data network linked through data integration dimensions;
  4. Knowledge Mining Component to mine knowledge from analysed data on-line and off-line;
  5. Data storage component to support CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations of four kinds of data, namely raw data, analysed data, integrated data and mined knowledge consistently; and
  6. Data Distribution Component to share multi-source data generated in different phases.
Sector

Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) sector

Market opportunity

There is a growing market in the AEC industry for both consultants and policy makers to have a better understanding of how various data streams can yield better designs in the built environment for better and more human-centred solutions. This technology enables a platform that can achieve this goal. 

Applications

Applications of this technology are web-based platforms that bring together muti-source, multi-scale, multi-time data for use by AEC industry players.

Customer benefits 

This technology benefits tailored solutions for customers that yield data-driven designs that are convincing for clients.
