Commercially empowered Linked Open Data Ecosystems in Research

Project description


SME initiative on Digital Content and Languages
CODE's vision is to establish the foundation for a web-based, commercially oriented ecosystem for Linked Open Data.

Linked Open Data (LOD) shows enormous potential in becoming the next big evolutionary step of the WWW. However, this potential remains largely untapped due to missing usage and monetisation strategies.CODE's vision is to establish the foundation for a web-based, commercially oriented ecosystem for Linked Open Data. This ecosystem establishes a sustainable and commercial value-creation-chain among traditional (e.g. data provider and consumer) and non-traditional (e.g. data analyst) roles in data marketplaces. Monetary incentives will motivate people to analyse, organise and integrate LOD with unstructured information sources thereby increasing data quality and quantity.Our use-case focuses on research papers as a source for mining facts and their integration into LOD repositories and light-weight ontologies. Hence, we will leverage the wealth of knowledge contained in research publications on a semantic, machine-readable level by creating the Linked Science Data cloud. This cloud will have an impact on innovation driven businesses by making scientific knowledge more accessible and transparent.Therefore we will research and develop:1.crowd-sourcing enabled semantic enrichment & integration techniques for integrating facts contained in unstructured information into the LOD cloud2.federated provenance-enabled querying methods for fact discovery in LOD repositories3.web-based visual analysis interfaces to support human based analysis, integration and organisation of facts4.socio-economic factors - roles, revenue-models and value chains - realisable in the envisioned ecosystem.The consortium brings together high-potential partners, providing the necessary resources for realizing our vision: tera-bytes of research publications, millions of light-weight ontologies, a steadily growing user community in the millions and expertise in unstructured information analysis, distributed databases, semantic technologies, visual analytics and economic success factors in web businesses.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.

FP7-ICT-2011-SME-DCL

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
