OntoCommons

Brief description

OntoCommons tackles data interoperability through the use and promotion of ontologies and the orchestration of an Ontology Commons EcoSystem Toolkit.

Ontologies are fundamental to support the digitalisation of industry, contributing to standardisation and interoperability, proved in practice by an initial set of 11 industrial demonstrators, which is being expanded through an open call.

Our Role

Trust-IT plays a key role in setting up the project's platform, gathering a wide community and successfully organising the global workshops.

Moreover, Trust-IT promotes the set of focused workshop organised by the consortium partners and is responsible of the overall communication and dissemination.

Impact

The OntoCommons project has generated a significant impact by improving data standardisation, fostering collaboration, and contributing to advancements in materials and manufacturing research and industry practices.

In particular, the communication activities of the OntoCommons project have played a critical role in increasing visibility, engaging stakeholders, disseminating knowledge, and supporting standardization efforts. Through strategic use of digital platforms, targeted communication, and continuous stakeholder engagement, the project has achieved high levels of interaction and impact, contributing significantly to the sustainability of its outcomes.
