City of Athens joins the OASC Network

The City of Athens is the latest city to join the Open and Agile Smart Cities network. 

Open & Agile Smart Cities brings together 168 cities across 33 countries on four continents. The network is defining a set of 10 simple building blocks called MIMs (Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms), to help cities tackle the technical issues of developing an effective local data ecosystem. Minimum Interoperability is an approach to establishing a set of modular mechanisms across multiple application domains and geographic territories, without having to specify everything in complete detail, and without requiring complete implementation of the entire framework. It enables even small and medium-sized cities and communities and those with limited resources to use data to deliver greatly improved services to their citizens. All member cities subscribe to the OASC Minimal Interoperability Mechanisms, a set of open APIs, standards, and shared data models to allow cities to remain agile and digital solutions to scale across borders.
