Milestone 3/3 – Summer

23. June 2019/0 Comments/in OwnYourData /by Christoph Fabianek

Semantic Containers for Data Mobility has reached all project goals by June 2019 and is now finalized with the final report. The three prototypes have developed well and Semantic Containers will continue to be used as infrastructure, especially at ZAMG.

As in the previous posts we summarize here our accomplished goals for this last milestone:

Seismic Data Use Case – basic demonstration of Semantic Containers
- source code: https://github.com/sem-con/sc-seismic
- available online: https://vownyourdata.zamg.ac.at:9500/api/data?duration=7
TAWES Use Case – Semantic Container with billing workflow
- source code: https://github.com/sem-con/sc-tawes
- available online (requires payment!): https://vownyourdata.zamg.ac.at:9600/api/data
Sentinel Use Case – process pipeline with Semantic Containers
- source code: https://github.com/sem-con/sc-sentinel
- available online:
  - download: https://vownyourdata.zamg.ac.at:9700/api/data
  - atmospheric correction: https://vownyourdata.zamg.ac.at:9701/api/data
  - clipping: https://vownyourdata.zamg.ac.at:9702/api/data
and also in the last 3 months there were again 18 project meetings.

Dates, dates, appointments!

SemCon was presented at the PyDays 2019 on May 3rd and we submitted a scientific publication at the Semantics 2019 in Karlsruhe.
Our final project presentation took place on 17 June 2019 at the MyData Meetup at the WU Vienna (slides are available here). We were happy about a lively participation and lively discussions on the topic “Data as Propery or Human right”. That’s what MeetUps should be like!
Another presentation is planned on September 27, where Christoph Fabianek will give a talk at the MyData 2019 with Diabetes.services from Denmark. We will continue to work on the topic of Semantic Containers even beyond the end of the funded project period!

In summary, we can look back on 9 successful project months. SemCon was presented around 10 times at events, we had about 60 internal project meetings, we were able to meet our milestones in time and there are 3 prototypes that show how the exchange with data can work simply and safely: by packaging data with usage rights and provenance information together with the necessary processing logic to enable reliable and easy management.

SEMCON Milestone 2/3 – Spring

7. April 2019/0 Comments/in SemCon /by Christoph Fabianek

The project is progressing rapidly and after 6 months, there is now a lot to report in the spring. With Peb Ruswono Aryan, a new team member of the Vienna University of Technology joined us and his areas of specialization are geoinformation systems and Python.

But we also want to share our completed milestones, give an outlook on a few events events, and summarize other activities:

The current state of the software is available at Github (https://github.com/sem-con) and Dockerhub (https://hub.docker.com/r/semcon).
The documentation has been updated and you find the current version of White Paper and System Design on our homepage in the Resources menu along with other relevant information.
Our business plan is developing well, further reviews with T-Systems, ZAMG and Inits are already being planned.
There is still a lively exchange with our project partners ZAMG and EODC. Altogether there were 21 meetings in the last 3 months!
To ensure a good progress even after the end of the bmvit / FFG call “ICT of the future: Sondierungen für den Datenmarkt 2018”, we submitted on March 28th as a technology supplier and part of a consortium a project propsoal to the ICT-13-2018-2019 H2020 Call.

Dates, Dates Dates … We are glad, if you come over!

On May 3rd, Christoph and Peb will give a lecture on Semantic Containers at the PyDays (https://www.pydays.at): “Data becomes more useful when it is shared. In our talk we present our findings and future goals about transferring data in a privacy respecting and traceable way. We want to lay out the technical foundation and demonstrate use cases in a live-coding session by accessing Semantic Containers with Jupyter notebooks. “
With the association Diabetes.services, Christoph has submitted a talk for the MyData 2019 in Helsinki.

We wish our readers happy Easter holidays – and we are looking forward to share with you the final Semantic Container project updates at end of June.

SEMCON Milestone 1/3

21. December 2018/0 Comments/in SemCon /by Christoph Fabianek

With Semantic Containers, the 7-member project team has set itself the goal of developing a prototype for the simple trading of data. Using a few use cases the “proof of concept” will be demonstrated. Three colleagues from the Own Your Data association and four contributors from the Vienna University of Technology team have come together to achieve this goal.

In the ambitious time frame of a total of 9 months project duration (bmvit / FFG call ICT of the Future: Exloring the data market 2018), already at the end of the first third we are happy to announce first successes:

Since two months the project website is online (German / English), which summarizes the most important information about the Semantic Containers at a glance.
Also online and linked to the website is our Semantic Containers White Paper, which presents the concept in more detail and offers a broader overview.
A first version of our design document is being finalized and will be online in the next few days.

In the past 3 months we have already been diligent. Amongst others, we presented the Semantic Containers at two major events, the Data Market Ignite Night on October 2nd at the Tribe Space and the ICT 2018: Imagine Digital – Connect Europe at the Austria Center on December 5th. Of course, we have seen each other much more often. So often that we alone and up to this point had 22 internal project meetings!

We are confident that it will continue similarly fast with the next two-thirds. The coming third (until March 2019) is dedicated to the programming work, so that we can fully dedicate our time to use cases in the last three months (until June 2019) as planned. Again, there is a happy message: Even the data selection has already taken place, so we could not only reach all our interim goals, but are our own schedule already one step ahead.

In this sense, we will enjoy the upcoming holiday season and wish our readers a peaceful Christmas! See you here again in the New Year when we have new Semantic Container updates available for all data-loving people.
