The brief
A useful app built on open data
Each team picks an activity it cares about and builds an app that uses open data. A data viewer or a basic CRUD is not the goal: features and cross-cutting aspects are critical, and new, creative concepts in the conceptual model are valued.
The starting proposals
It is not a closed list: you can propose another by emailing the teachers with the title, the dataset link, its quality and how often it is updated. Within one lab group a brief cannot be repeated (first come, first served).
Cultural agenda
Following the main cultural activities across Catalonia.
Sustainable mobility
Promoting electric vehicles (charging points) and Bicing.
Energy
Energy certificates of buildings, to promote responsible energy use.
Air quality
Avoiding exposure where pollution is temporarily higher.
Weather (XEMA)
Variables from the Catalan network of automatic weather stations.

Dataset quality
Inception 1 asks you to describe the dataset quality. Check:
How to go beyond CRUD
Open data is the starting point, not the product. Ask yourselves what the user does with it:
- Decides: recommendations, personalised alerts, comparisons.
- Plans: routes, synced calendars, reminders.
- Shares: ratings, chat, community, challenges.
- Contributes: reports errors, adds their own data, moderates.
Each verb brings new concepts into the model (Route, Alert, Challenge, Rating...) and cross-cutting aspects that add ambition. See the conceptual model example.
