Restructuring of Database The discussion of the previous chapter shows that a major restructuring of the database is necessary in order to really support the best practice functionality envisaged. The indicators presented have not been incorporated into the database so far, thus the structure of the database need to be altered in order to allow the integration of the envisaged indicators. Additionally the database was originally meant to assess the data only once, however the described indicators can vary with time, meaning that a Living Lab can be investigated several times and that improvements as well as aggravations can be measured over the time. This leads to certain requirements regarding the structure of the database, mainly meaning that a single table is not anymore appropriate for this kind of database. Based on the requirements formulated beforehand a new ERM (entity Relationship model) for the Database structured was developed. The following Entity Relationship Model shows the new structure of the BP database: ID LLWebsite Motivation ServiceCreation_ AndBusinessModel Infrastructure LLUser LLEstablishedYear Description ReferencesAnd TrackReckord Expertise LLFullName ID_LLContactPerson UserCitizien_ Involvment FuturePlans MethodsTools AndProcesses LLDB_bpreport 1 1 LLDB_Institution ID OrganisationAnd Governance InstitutionName LLHostOrganisation LLHostOrganisation Type LLHostOrganisation VATNumber Tags Additional_description ID_LL_KPIs n m ZipCode Country Telephone Fax Website 1 n ID ID LLDB_People_Involved LLDB_LL_KPIs ID_LL Report file Title Role Phone SME_InnovationSupport International Organisation_and_ Governance Innovation_outcomes FirstName Institution Fax UserInvolvment Methods_and_tools LastName Postal_address Country ServiceCreation Reviewer E_Mail Zip_code Mobile_phone Infrastructure Date Figure 37: Entity Relationship Model The project is co-funded by the ERDF Page 74 of 78
As it can be seen the new database is split up in 4 tables: 1. LLDB_bpreport This table consist mainly out of the data that is similar to the information required to apply for an ENoLL membership and describes the purpose of the living lab. 2. LLDB_Institution This table is meant to represent the organizational details of the Living lab , which institution is actually maintaining the living lab, how to reach the living lab etc. 3. LLDB_People_Involved This table is collecting the information about the people who are involved in a particular living lab the ERM shows that there can be several people involved in one living lab. Ultimately the idea is to link this information to the E-Atlas. 4. LLDB_LL-KPIs In this table the indicators of the living labs are stored. The Indicators are stored in one set with the date leading to the possibility to have different evaluations at different times and also from different reviewers. This set-up ensures a high flexibility when evaluating Living labs. The new structure of the database was optimised to the 4 th Normal form from Codd. Menaing that also the access to the data should be prompt. In order to populate the new database the information of the old Database needs to be transferred into the new structure. Thus at the end of this process there will be some Database entries which are purely stemming form the EnoLL application process and some other entries where an Evaluation has been undertaken (ca. 30 Living Labs). For a few Living Labs there has been also a consecutive evaluation, thus showing how these Living Labs has been altered over the last few years. 17. Implementation of DB In order to cope with the complexity of the data of the living labs and with the new extensions described before, relational database environment will be used to store the data. Based on the ERM model presented, DB-tables were developed and normalised in order to ensure an optimal usage of the database capabilities. In line with these thoughts the decision was made to use a relational database, form the products that are available in this category the open source solution mySQL was chosen due to cost reasons and due to the reputation that this database has gathered for industrial applications. To enable the access to the data already gathered as part of the first 3 ENoLL calls the data is going to be migrated into the new database structure. Furthermore the data acquired in reviewing 21 Living Labs as part of the Co-LLabs project will be transferred to the database. A major issue as laid out in the beginning of this report is the accessibility of the DB due to the question of owner ship of the data. Thus a login procedure will be implemented in order to control the access to the database. The project is co-funded by the ERDF Page 75 of 78
