This document proposes a localized feeds aggregator that aggregates open data sets and displays them on a map based on the user's location and interests. It summarizes how existing aggregators only show limited information not localized to the user. The proposed aggregator would transform data sets into geo-localized data, display feeds on maps of cities, districts, streets, and points of interest. Users could subscribe to receive feeds from locations they are interested in. It provides examples of how user profiles and data sources could be structured and envisions a website interface with map filters to improve readability of localized information.

1. A localized feeds aggregator
http://www.listfeeds.com

2. Scenario
• Open Data: a lot of dataset available now
• Smart Cities Framework: many local governments supply
services for their open data
• Commercial Service Providers: Waze
(viability), immobiliare.it (Real Estate), Newspapers rss
(news), Facebook/Twitter posts
• Usability: many dedicated apps
How to aggregate all dataset? How to improve the readability?

3. Aggregators on the shelf
• I can know if children school is closed
• News about newspapers, viability, my favorite movies
• Facebook and Twitter posts
• LinkedIn updates, mails incomes
• Rss aggregators
Ex. FLIPBOARD

4. What i can't read
• What happened nearby children school?
• Is it a dangerous district/street?
• Feeds from my neighborhood
• Facebook/Twitter posts close to my favorite places?
• Alerts from local government about viability, strikes and so
on about my needs
We are more involved on what happens close to us

5. Aggregate by localization
• Transform dataset in geo dataset (localized dataset)
• Show feeds on a map (city, district, street, POI maps)
• Streets, monuments or POI should have something like a
Facebook page or Twitter account
• Citizens could be post feeds where they occurred
• Users could subscribe to receive feeds from street/district/poi
they are interested in

7. User profile (just an example)
• Where i live
• Where i work
• Where i bring my children to school
• What about my district or holiday area
• Post something to my neighborhood

8. Datasource and app
• Datasource:
• Facebook, Twitter, theater, cinema
• RSS newspaper
• Local government web site
• Wikipedia (DBpedia proj)
• Application
• Twitter or Facebook style
• Website: map with filters

9. Readability
• City map
• District/street/poi map
• Gallery
• Table

10. Web Site mock-up

12. POI/Street/District
