ImProVIT
Website: https://www.tib.eu/en/research-development/project-overview/project-summary/improvit
Contact: Baseer.Shehneela@mh-hannover.de
The ImProVIT (Transforming big data into knowledge: for deep immune profiling in vaccination, infectious diseases, and transplantation) project started in Oct 2019 and runs until August 2023. Every human has the same immune system components, but these components’ regulations vary from human to human. Understanding the human body’s immune response to different medical conditions is crucial. This requires seamless integration of an enormous amount of diverse and fine-grained data from various medical use cases. The project focuses on developing a shared understanding of the human immune system. This project aims at integrating heterogeneous data sets with knowledge encoded in biomedical ontologies and open source databases into a knowledge‐driven framework. The ImProVIT KG increases the understanding of the human immune system; it also provides the basis to evaluate factors playing a role in vaccine response, infectious diseases, and transplant rejection. The ImProVIT project is fully supported by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture, Germany.
Knowledge Graphs at Scale — ‘KnowGraphs’
Website: https://knowgraphs.eu/
Contact: ilkou@l3s.de
Knowledge graphs (KGs) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie H2020 project funded by the European Commission.
The objective of KnowGraphs is to scale KGs to be accessible to a wide audience of users across multiple domains including companies (in domains including Industry 4.0, bio-medicine, finance, law) of all sizes and even end users (e.g., through personal assistants and web search). Addressing this goal demands a mix of works from the theoretical foundations to the exploitation and economic repercussions of knowledge graphs. KnowGraphs focuses on addressing four of the facets of KG management: representation, construction and maintenance, operation and exploitation.
ONTO-DESIDE:
ONTOLOGY-BASED DECENTRALIZED SHARING OF INDUSTRY DATA
IN THE EUROPEAN CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Website: https://www.linkedin.com/company/onto-deside
Contact: eva.blomqvist@liu.se
Semantic interoperability of data is one of the biggest barriers towards data sharing in the Circular Economy (CE). This three year project provides the technical foundations for information flows that will transform European Industry towards a CE, by means of digitalisation and data sharing. The project leverages open standards for semantic data interoperability in establishing a shared vocabulary, i.e. a network of ontologies for data documentation, as well as a decentralized digital platform that enables collaboration in a secure and privacy-preserving manner. What this project will develop is at its basis a technology for allowing data sharing about materials and products at a global scale. The project will start on June 1st 2022, duration 36 months, EU-funded with 11 partners from 6 countries.

Policy Enabled Next geNeration Internet (PENNI)
Website: https://penni.wu.ac.at/
Contact: sabrina.kirrane@wu.ac.at
The Policy Enabled Next geNeration Internet (PENNI) project will lay the technical foundations for a policy, trust and transparency enabled decentralised Next Generation Internet (NGI), that can support intelligent agents that act on behalf of humans. Our hypothesis being that decentralized applications that are able to understand constraints, in the form of goals, preferences, norms and usage restrictions, together with trust and transparency mechanisms will give humans more control over how their data is utilised and will foster trustworthiness in NGI applications, such as intelligent agents and devices.
Repurposing of Resources: from Everyday Problem Solving to Crisis Management
Website: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/infostudies/repurposing-project/
Contact: a.bikakis@ucl.ac.uk
Repurposing arises in several situations and domains, from finding substitutes for ingredients in cooking to handling unprecedented situations needing crisis management. Repurposing also offers some exciting challenges for AI, and could offer some valuable case studies for natural language processing, machine learning, knowledge representation and reasoning, in particular for commonsense reasoning, and knowledge graphs. So far we have investigated the challenges of repurposing, we have defined its key concepts, and we have identified some general approaches for solving the problem (pattern analysis, property analysis, mechanistic analysis). Although we have not produced any solutions yet, we have set out a general methodology and we have started developing a general theory, which could serve as a starting point for developing domain-specific solutions for a problem that exists in several different domains.
