Alejandro Fernández, Óscar Corcho y Daniel Vila han recibido el premio especial de Innovación en el reto de Fujitsu Linked Open Data. El ganador ha sido seleccionado por ejecutivos europeos de Fujitsu Laboratories de entre todos los proyectos presentados. El premio valora el potencial para mejorar aspectos concretos de la sociedad y el carácter innovador centrado en las personas. El premio se ha conseguido con la iniciativa “Ciencia ciudadana y juegos con propósito para la mejora de datos abiertos y enlazados”. La iniciativa consiste en una metodología y una aplicación con la que grupos de niños aprenden jugando y forman parte de un experimento científico ayudando a la mejora de datos generados automáticamente. La aplicación concreta es un juego, llamado “Street detective”, en el que los niños tienen que ir respondiendo a una serie de preguntas para relacionar calles de su ciudad con las personas a las que están dedicadas. A medida que los niños van respondiendo a las preguntas, las calles del mapa de su ciudad se van asociando de manera interactiva a escritores, científicos, poetas, etc.
