About Data2Semantics Posted on by

Data2Semantics aims to provide essential semantic infrastructure for bringing e-Science to the next level.

A core task for scientific publishers is to speed up scientific progress by improving the availability of scientific knowledge. This holds both for dissemination of results through traditional publications, as well as through the publication of scientific data. The Data2Semantics project focuses on a key problem for data management in e-Science:

How to share, publish, access, analyse, interpret and reuse data?

Data2Semantics is a collaboration between the VU University Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam, Data Archiving and Networked Services (DANS) of the KNAW, Elsevier Publishing and Philips, and is funded under the COMMIT programme of the NL Agency of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.

The COMMIT Kick-off Posted on by

Data2Semantics is part of the COMMIT/ research community. We attended the COMMIT kick-offmeeting where we presented our project and networked with the rest of the 15 projects and learned about presenting our work to the broader community.

Paul wrote up his thoughts on the kick-off, which you can find here. The whole team is excited about interacting and leveraging the research and technologies developed within this community.
