Meet the DMI PDX: Products and Data Exchange

The foundation of the DMI ecosystem.

Do you want your organization to contribute to the realization of smart and sustainable cities? Then the PDX is your gateway to valuable data and other products and services offered by DMI participants. The Products and Data Exchange (PDX) is the place where participants of the DMI ecosystem safely and securely exchange data, products and services with each other.

Whether you want to offer data or are looking for it, have or are looking for an innovative application available or want to start a collaboration with another DMI participant: in the PDX you can immediately find who or what you need. The cost of using the basic facilities is already covered through participant fees.

The PDX Offers You:

  • Total Overview

    Overall view of available supply and demand in the ecosystem;

  • Safety and reliability

    Secure and reliable exchange of data, services and products;

  • Transparency and control

    Transparency and control: you always know who you are doing business with;

  • Low cost

    Lower costs through reuse and collaboration.

how do I take advantage of that?

To do so, your organization must become a participant in the DMI ecosystem. To become a participant, fill out the form on this page. This is followed by an introduction and a brief verification and purchasing process. After you become a formal participant, you go through the following steps:

  1. Post via the Participant Profile Page A brief description of your organization in the PDX.
  2. Choose your marketplace: WeCity or Dexes and indicate your choice on the Participant Profile page.
  3. Publish your datasets, services and products on the selected marketplace, with its terms of use, and get started!

You don't have to build anything yourself, you retain ownership of your own data and you decide who gets access and under what conditions.

Have any questions? If so, please contact us at dmi-team@dmi-ecosysteem.nl.

Commons

All participants in the DMI ecosystem must make products, services and/or data available to each other up to an annual value of €2,500. We call this the "commons. Each participant can purchase products and services from each of the other participants for up to € 2500 as a sample. These products and services are marked with a 'C' in the products and services catalog, part of the PDX. This way we encourage all participants to explore exactly what other participants are offering. It also promotes a smooth start to adding and using data. The agreements on commons are set out in the General Agreement.

The Commons strengthen mutual cooperation and knowledge building, but also ensure that public investments can benefit the DMI ecosystem as a whole and the applications realized within it.

What does it provide?

Imagine this: you have developed a mobility dashboard. Through the PDX you can make its use available to other DMI participants (whether municipalities, companies or knowledge institutions) on your terms, based on clear agreements and for a fair fee. You can also offer your service or product as a Commons. In turn, you can also confidently purchase products from all other DMI participants.

This is how we safely and securely work together to accelerate the realization of those smart and sustainable cities.
