Workshop: Towards Open Data Practices at the International Conference on the Internet of Everything

The Internet of Everything (IoE) has the potential to transform the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. It involves the connection of billions of devices and sensors, generating vast amounts of data that can be used to inform decision-making, improve efficiency, and drive innovation. However, realizing the full potential of the IoE requires the adoption of open data practices, which can increase transparency, provenance, and accountability. This workshop aims to discuss pathways toward open data practices in the context of the IoE by bringing together practitioners in the field. The workshop will include intensive discussions with participants about their experiences with the publication of research data (including software) in the IoE context, but also challenges, concerns, and barriers to publishing research data. The workshop further addresses possible publication formats, how and where to publish data, questions of data ownership, as well as common formats and types. By discussing the state-of-the-art within the IoE community, we intend to draw conclusions on a path forward towards open data practices at venues, such as the IoE Con, as these practices have implications for future conference submissions, tracks, and review processes. Finally, by promoting open data practices, we can unleash the full potential of the IoE to create a more connected, smarter, and sustainable future.
