Government Building a 'Data Dam' Connects 'Cocoon.net' to Integrated Data Map

First Integration of Private Platforms into the Unified Data Map

[Asia Economy Reporter Minyoung Cha] From now on, various private data products such as account, membership, and sales amount from the private data distribution platform 'Cocoon.net' can also be found on the integrated data map.

The Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Information Society Agency (NIA) announced on the 22nd that they will expand services by linking the integrated data map with Cocoon.net, a private data distribution platform operated by Cocoon.

The Ministry of Science and ICT launched the integrated data map service in March last year and has supported big data platform search and utilization. It made it possible to use 16 existing government big data platforms at once, ranging from transportation, finance, and culture to smart policing and lifelog.

Status and Plans for Integration and Expansion of the Unified Data Map

This case is significant as the first linkage with a private data platform. The Ministry of Science and ICT linked Cocoon.net's metadata according to the standardized specifications of the integrated data map.

Accordingly, it has become possible to search Cocoon's data products on the integrated data map, including 162 API products such as account, membership, and sales amount inquiries, and 7 datasets such as card products and business closure information. An API is an interface (specification) that connects a user's application program to the other party's server to access stored data and services.

Song Kyung-hee, Director of AI-based Policy at the Ministry of Science and ICT, said, "Through cooperation with Cocoon, we expect the integrated data map to become a gateway for public and private data distribution and utilization, serving as a catalyst to promote cooperation related to data dams with private data companies." He added, "We will continue to expand linkage and cooperation with private data companies and strengthen policy support for data accumulation and utilization."
