The City as a Service Platform: A Typology of City Platform Roles in Mobile Service Provision Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper explores which roles city governments can take up in the context of the on-going platformisation of the mobile services industry. It takes an experimental approach by applying an existing typology for mobile service platforms to the context of the city, combined with an analysis of real-life examples. The paper identifies four city platform types; an enabler, integrator, neutral and broker city platform, each with different merits. ...

The City as a Platform: Exploring the Potential Role(s) of the City in Mobile Service Provision through a Mobile Service Platform Typology Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This exploratory paper applies an existing framework for the analysis of platform types in mobile services to the urban context and explores the role(s) cities may take up in the development and deployment of mobile services. It first presents the platform typology that will be used, provides some contextual information on the concept of Smart Cities and then applies several diverging cases to it by means of validation. The paper concludes that ...
International labour standards and platform work. An analysis of digital labour platforms based on the instruments on private employment agencies, home work and domestic work KU Leuven
Policymakers across the world have been concerned about the increasing prominence of platform work arrangements. In these jobs, workers rely on a platform to obtain what are often short-term 'gigs'. Problematic is the fact that these workers tend not to enjoy much income stability, which is aggravated due to their poor access to social security protections. They also suffer from other deficits, like a lack of occupational safety and health ...
The platform discount: Addressing unpaid work as a structural feature of labour platforms KU Leuven
Digital labour platforms are able to structure work to limit paid working time, extract fees from workers to access labour, and shift costs associated with OSH compliance onto platform workers. We call this unpaid work the ‘platform discount’. Unpaid labour is embedded within platforms’ competitive strategies as platforms operate with labour oversupply while clients use multiple platforms to search for the cheapest option (multi-homing effect). ...
Why Does Unpaid Labour Vary Among Digital Labour Platforms? Exploring Socio-Technical Platform Regimes of Worker Autonomy KU Leuven
Digital platforms provide many workers with vital income and offer the promise of flexible work, and yet also contribute to experiences of precariousness and exploitation, particularly with regard to pressures to undertake unpaid work. This article explores why unpaid labour is necessary and what drives its extent and form among diverse types of digital platforms. We theorize two ideal types of ‘open’ and ‘closed’ socio-technical platform ...
Morphological indicators of structural control, relative sea-level fluctuations and platform drowning on present-day and Miocene carbonate platforms KU Leuven
© 2014. The morphology of Carbonate platforms may be influenced by tectonic activity and eustatic variations. 3D seismic data and satellite imagery are used in order to investigate the morphological similarities between present-day carbonates platforms, East of Borneo Island and Miocene carbonate platforms of the South China Sea. The morphological similarities exhibit platform fragmentation, that could be caused by subtle faulting, sufficient to ...
Credit and Recognition for Contributions to Data-Sharing Platforms Among Cohort Holders and Platform Developers in Europe: Interview Study KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
BACKGROUND: The European Commission is funding projects that aim to establish data-sharing platforms. These platforms are envisioned to enhance and facilitate the international sharing of cohort data. Nevertheless, broad data sharing may be restricted by the lack of adequate recognition for those who share data. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to describe in depth the concerns about acquiring credit for data sharing within epidemiological ...
Integration of oneM2M in Inter-IoT’s platform of platforms Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A major goal of the H2020 Inter-IoT project is
to provide a framework for seamless integration of different
Internet of Things (IoT) platforms. To allow the Inter-IoT user to
interact with those platforms, which feature their own syntax and
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), so called bridges
are designed and implemented. For ensuring interoperability,
semantics play a key role. The ontologies used by the ...
