what do we do

About DCL

The main sectors where DCL works are on the share and collaboration on the data data.
In particular the main goal is on the valorization of the open data, the creation of data spaces, and the analysis and crowdsourcing projects to share open data like OpenStreetMap. The digital commons lab wants to be a place to analyze the results of what is continuously produced by the communities with the aim of fostering their growth through the popularization of these themes and the analysis of the dynamics in the communities aiming to reduce the distances in the dialog with the public administration, the businesses and citizens.
Outputs of the lab are best practices, data visualizations and events designed for public institutions, companies and the communities themselves acting as a strong force for innovation not only on the technological side but, first and foremost, with a big social impact.
