JIDEP: Joint Industrial Data Exchange Platform
Joint Industrial Data Exchange Platform
is a digital space where industrial data is
available for sharing and connecting
manufacturers from different sectors into a
collaborative, mutually beneficial
knowledge and data-sharing relationship. It
builds upon the principles of Industry 4.0 by
adopting a coherent approach to semantic
communication between diverse actors,
aiming to make both direct and indirect
contributions to the EU climate neutrality
goals of 2050. JIDEP is a landing place for
any organization that has a data challenge to
be addressed on its journey towards
delivering a more sustainable material,
product, service or solution. The JIDEP
tools will help organizations to unlock the value of data, leading to the development of more sustainable solutions,
technologies, and materials.
The JIDEP platform will be designed to cover the entire product lifecycle and assist in steering it towards circular
standards implementation at both technological and regulatory levels. JIDEP will integrate a toolset implementing
with a resilience framework for growing organizational and industrial capacities to withstand supply chain
disruptions in the short-, medium- and long-term. As such, JIDEP ingests industrial data and produces sustainability,
resilience, and circularity guidelines, knowledge and specific solutions for its users.

ISTAT - SmartSurveys
More and more there is a need of doing surveys using the most advanced features which are supported the current state of the art. Some such examples, which are part of this collaboration are: pervasive data collection using mobile devices (e.g., smart phones but not only), real time question answering, machine learning from data, privacy aware data collection and preparation, integration of sensor data and sue answers, exploitation of big data.

Delphi
Delphi – Discovering Life Patterns
The main goal of this proposal is to allow computers, such as smartphones, to understand their user’s personal life (e.g., where she goes, what she does, how she feels and who she spends time with) and to exploit this knowledge to support her in the everyday life. The key idea is to discover and exploit her life patterns, which can be intuitively thought of as situations which repeat themselves, almost but not exactly, identical with regularity.
The challenge is how to synchronize a sensor and data-driven representation of the world, which is noisy, imprecise and agnostic of the user needs with a knowledge-driven representation of the world which should be: (i) general, by allowing for the representation and integration of different combinations of sensors and interesting aspects of the user’s life and, (ii) adaptive, meaning by this the possibility to represent life happenings at the desired level of abstraction, and also to evolve them, adapting to changes in the life dynamics.
The approach will exploit three main components: (i) a methodology and mechanisms for an incremental evolution of a knowledge level representation of the world, e.g., ontologies, which preserves correctness, (ii) an extension of deep learning to take into account and adapt to the constraints coming from the knowledge level, and (iii) a Question Answering (Q/A) service, which allows the user to interact with the program according to her needs and terminology.
The proposed solution will be evaluates in two case studies, the first supporting people towards a healthier life, the second, which is an extension of the first, supporting people with Diabetes towards a better life.

The Internet of Us
Diversity permeates our everyday life and covers many dimensions, such as competence, culture, gender or economic
across humans and social relations. Technology has evolved to a point where humans from diverse backgrounds,
cultures, and experiences have an unprecedented ability to connect with each other. Yet technology does not
in-and-by-itself provide support for developing and maintaining the social relationships that transcend
geographical and cultural backgrounds.
WeNet addresses this gap by providing a diversity-aware, machine-mediated
paradigm of social relations. The goal is connecting people that can support each other, and the key is
leveraging their diversity. The WeNet paradigm includes a family of computational diversity-aware models
supporting human interaction. Learning models construct diversity profiles based on people's past behaviour
and interactions. A diversity-aware search builds upon these profiles to connect the "right" people together.
To support people’s interactions, a diversity alignment mechanism lifts communication barriers to ensure that
messages between humans are interpreted correctly, and a diversity-aware incentive mechanism generates incentives
to motivate people to support each other.
The entire paradigm is developed taking into consideration ethical
guidelines. The WeNet platform provides the technological infrastructure to set out a series of studies that
will be carried within universities worldwide with diverse student populations, and with the final goal of improving
students' quality of life inside and outside the academic environment. Beyond universities, WeNet's innovative
paradigm impacts human interactions in general, especially those that may benefit from a collaborative approach
(creative industries, medical diagnosis, ...). The WeNet consortium will develop a research infrastructure that
will allow the exploitation of the project results and strengthen the European innovation eco-system in a worldwide
perspective.

InteropEHRate: Health Records in People's Hands Across Europe
InteropEHRate aims to support peoples' health by opening them up new ways to make health data available where needed. To make this possible,
key health data is managed in patients' hands, i.e. through Smart EHRs (S-EHR) on mobile devices. Data is always transferred via highly secure
channels including a direct device to device (D2D) communication. Patients are in full control of their data and its routes. InteropEHRate
will develop open interchange protocols supporting patient-centred exchange of health records between patients, healthcare actors and researchers.
Thus, the project will contribute to the next steps in follow-up of the February 2019 EC recommendation and help to pave the way towards an open
European EHR exchange format and process. It will specifically add a decentral, patient-driven bottom-up approach as an alternative method to the
top-down approach of exchanging patient data exclusively via the national contact for points for eHealth (NCPeH). InteropEHRate is funded by
the European Union for 42 months and is implemented by a unique consortium of experienced institutions and qualified experts. InteropEHRate
partners represent healthcare solution providers, hospitals, universities and research centers as well as European and local stakeholder associations.

WhiteRabbit Private Data Manager
WhiteRabbit is an action that will bring to the market an innovative off-the-shelf software platform that will allow
to extract value from personal data while keeping its subjects in the loop and also complying with upcoming
regulations. The increasing value of personal data in the last 20 years generated a big market that is not currently
well regulated and does not allow for an easy management by companies (which causes the of misuse of data).
The upcoming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe will force companies to comply with more
restrictive rules thus increasing their costs for management of data. To address this, the software platform
developed by WhiteRabbit will work like an automated “tax accountant” for privacy that helps to deal with
complexities and regulations related to the equivalent of “tax returns”.
WhiteRabbit will first validate the business model and design a commercialisation roadmap for the new start-up that will be created by the team that developed the software platform’s original prototype; then the project will implement actions to test the product in a market environment and finally it will create opportunities for growth by organising meetings with investors and potential customers.
The WhiteRabbit project will have an impact in terms of innovation introduced into the market (the platform), improvement of entrepreneurial mind-set (researchers becoming entrepreneurs within the start-up), stimulation of growth and jobs (a new start-up will be created).

SmartSociety: Hybrid and Diversity-Aware Collective Adaptive Systems: When People Meet Machines to Build a Smarter Society
Society is progressively moving towards a socio-technical ecosystem in which the physical and virtual dimensions of life are more and more intertwined
and where people interaction often takes place with or mediated by machines. The scale at which this is happening and the differences in culture,
language and interests makes the problem of establishing effective communication and coordinated action increasingly challenging. So far,
the attention has been mainly devoted to systems that provide or impose some form of harmonization or lightweight coordination of meaning
and actions where machines do most of the computation and humans are at the periphery and only act as consumers. Our goal is to move towards
a hybrid system where people and machines tightly work together to build a smarter society. We envision a new generation of Collective Adaptive
Systems centred on the two foundational notions of compositionality and diversity where humans and machines "compose" by synergically complement
each other thus bridging the semantic gap between low level machine and high level human interpretation of data and where they interoperate
collectively to achieve their possibly conflicting goals both at individual and societal levels. Operationally, peers in the system will
implement a continuous unlimited cycle in which data is sensed, interpreted, shared, elaborated and acted upon. Actions are taken on the
basis of system suggestions and the way humans react to them, while generating new data thus alimenting the cycle ad infinitum.To meet this
very ambitious goal the SmartSociety project will develop foundational principles for the operations and design of hybrid and diversity-aware
collective adaptive systems, paving the way to the arising of a smarter form of society.

SPRINT - Graph-Based Data Federation for Healthcare Data Science
The Digital Innovation Hub Programme must establish data coverage nationally across the UK for a wide variety of data sets
(primary, secondary, social care, etc) across many dimensions (genotypic, phenotypic, etc) for data sets that are curated locally
in many data formats at many sites. This requires a single framework and a common approach to interoperability. Our aim is to
provide a convincing demonstration that these data sets can be linked flexibly through graph data and that this linkage can
be used to support practical, adaptive data maintenance and inference of knowledge beyond that available to HDR-UK by other means.
We will do this by deploying well understood techniques from ontology definition (based on graph data languages) to provide a formal,
extensible “map” of the data assets – telling us precisely which queries could practically be made within and across data sets.
Our framework will be based on generic and open data standards, enabling HDR-UK to provide opportunities for industry methods
consistent with the framework to be used to acquire, manage and analyse linked data while preserving governance oversight and privacy.

Safe Haven 1
Healthcare Data Safe Havens
Healthcare is rapidly becoming increasingly data intensive. The sector already produces a significant amount of data - from scans and imaging data,
to biomarkers and genomic data, as well as wide scale population health information. However, the vast majority of available data sets are
locked within different data jurisdictions, often with public sector organisations maintaining and controlling the files.
The Digital Health Data Federation will work to overcome this limitation, by allowing research-related experiments to be undertaken
using large scale data from different jurisdictions. Access to large-scale data enables more reliable and quicker research-related
analysis to be undertaken, which has the potential to transform the provision of healthcare. The project is seeking to engage customers
from both the public and private sectors, in order to deliver healthcare benefits and facilitate research.

QROWD - Because Big Data Integration is Humanly Possible
Big Data integration in European cities is of utmost importance for municipalities and companies to offer effective information
services, enable efficient data-driven transportation and mobility, reduce CO2 emissions, assess the efficiency of
infrastructure, as well as enhance the quality of life of citizens. At present this integration is substantially limited due to the
following factors: 1) Urban Big Data is locked in isolated industrial and public sectors, and 2) The actual Big Data integration
is an extremely hard technical problem due to the heterogeneity of data sources, variety of formats, sizes, quality as well as
update rates, such that the integration requires significant human intervention.
QROWD addresses these challenges by offering methods to perform cross-sectoral streaming Big Data integration including
geographic, transport, meteorological, cross domain and news data, while capitalizing on human feedback channels. The
main objectives of QROWD are:
(1) Facilitating cross-sectoral Big Data stream integration for urban mobility including real-
time data on individual and public transportation combined with further available sources, such as weather conditions and
infrastructure information to create a comprehensive overview of the city traffic; (2) Supporting participation and feedback of
various stakeholder groups to foster data-driven innovation in cities; and (3) Building a platform providing hybrid
computational methods relying on efficient algorithms complemented with human computation and feedback.
The main outcomes of QROWD are: (1) Two data value chains in the sectors of urban mobility and public transportation
using a mix of large scale heterogeneous multilingual datasets; and (2) Cross-sectoral and cross-lingual technology,
including algorithms and tools covering all phases of the cross-sectoral Big Data Value Chain building on W3C standards
