The Institute Mihajlo Pupin (IMP) is a leading Serbian R&D institution in information and communication technologies, the largest and oldest in the whole South Eastern Europe. The institute was founded in 1946 and has 473 employees, 250 of them being researchers. At IMP, projects of critical national importance have been conducted, combining systems engineering and information technology to develop innovative solutions in the area of telecommunications and computer networks, knowledge and content technologies and applications, Web services, robotics, management information systems, e-government, e-business etc. IMP provides a wide range of products and services. Its service scope covers customized IT solutions, HW/SW outsourcing, technology consulting, engineering, prototyping, and system design and integration. IMP’s ISO 9001 Quality Assurance Certificate guaranties that customers value and quality expectations are met. Customers include world companies such as Raytheon, BASF, NCR and Philips. Pupin is currently involved in 22 research project funded by the Serbian Ministry of Science (thus having the major share in national R&D funding). It is also the most successful Serbian institution when it comes to internationally funded research, being involved in number of FP6, FP7, CIP and EC Interreg projects. Pupin has coordinated the FP6 Web4WeB project, contributing to the Institute’s establishment as a centre of excellence for the Semantic Web technologies for the whole West Balkan region. 14 2013-02-28 D10.2c.1 – Training and dissemination activities in the West Balkan Region 2011-08-31 D3.6.1 – Selection of standardized META-NET linguistic tools for multi-lingual support 2011-10-31 D3.6.2 – Multi-lingual support for linked data extraction. 2012-04-30 D6.4.1 – Analysis of different application scenarios for the LOD2 stack 2014-08-31 D6.4.2 – Final Evaluation and Documentation of the LOD2 stack configurator 2012-02-29 2012-08-31 D9.4.1 – Report about the availability of eGovernment Datasets Establishment of the Serbian CKAN open government metadata repository 2013-02-28 D9.4.2 – Report on evaluation of the LOD2 Stack with regard to support for internationalization 2014-02-28 D9.4.3 – Report on evaluation of the LOD2 Stack with regard to support for multilingual ontology mapping The general aim of this work package is to establish a worldwide focal point for academic and industry parties interested in contributing to or taking advantage of the novel Linked Data methodologies and components, which will emerge in the project. 11 WP10 – Training, Dissemination, Community Building, Fertilization The project management will entail strategic, project-wide as well as day-to-day central management and coordination activities. The several different management boards which will be established in the consortium will be responsible for decisions and activities of different scope and level according to their function. 13 WP3 contains tasks focused on the transformation of legacy data to RDF and Linked Data and furthermore on the improvement of existing or extracted data especially with respect to schema enrichment and ontology repair. It is complementary to WP4, which is concerned with interlinking several knowledge bases and providing unified views of them. Tasks concerning the triplification of data will be grounded on existing techniques and know-how of the consortium and will be refined during the lifetime of this project and integrated into the LOD2 Stack. Legacy data triplification represents the entry point for legacy systems to participate in the LOD cloud. The members of the Consortium are leading in the development of transformational tools such as Virtuoso Sponger, RDF Views, D2R server, Triplify, and the DBpedia framework, which have received high acceptance in the Linked Data community. 3 WP3 – Knowledge Base Creation, Enrichment and Repair This work package will continue the prototyping activity under WP1/Task 1.4 by fully integrating the individual components developed in WP2-5 into a ready-to-use LOD2 Stack and associated APIs. The primary goal of the LOD2 Stack integration is to enable communities of practice to rapidly create domain specific Linked Data applications. Consequently, the LOD2 Stack will support the whole life cycle of Linked Data from creation over enrichment, interlinking, fusing to maintenance. The stack will be very versatile, for all functionality we will define clear interfaces, which enable the plugging in of alternative third-party implementations. We will also provide a stack configurator, which enables potential user to create their own personalized version of the LOD2 Stack, which contains only those functions relevant for their usage scenario. 6 WP6 – Interfaces, Component Integration & LOD2 Stack The purpose of this PublicData.eu use case is to increase public access to high-value, machine-readable data sets generated by the European, national as well as regional governments and public administrations. Although this effort will be similar to developments in other parts of the world, for the case of Europe it will be more challenging due to the larger organizational and linguistic diversity and thus represent an ideal application scenario for Linked Data technologies. 9 WP9 – Use Case 3: LOD2 for Citizen – PublicData.eu
