How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it compatible with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is CKAN, FIWARE Orion-LD, GeoServer, Swagger Editor, Postman, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The exercises are based on real procedures for mapping municipal data to standard semantic models, publishing a geospatial API compliant with OGC, and analysing compliance with the Esquema Nacional de Interoperabilidad. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Understand the levels and regulatory framework of interoperability.
Apply semantic standards to urban data.
Design interoperable APIs in line with open standards.
Understand European data spaces and their governance.
Assess compliance with the Esquema Nacional de Interoperabilidad.
