Beyond the project – Creating CE impact of Onto-DESIDE

On February 3-4 the Onto-DESIDE project held what will probably be its last f2f meeting, hosted by IMEC in Ghent, BE. The project is due to end in May 2025, with a potential extension for some partners to finish important project results.

In the meeting the consortium discussed current results, and planned for the final evaluation phase starting in March. A joint cross-domain evaluation scenario was outlined, to showcase the cross-domain interoperability of data and ontologies in the final project iteration. Other topics included training material and standardisation efforts, including the newly propose W3C community group on Circular Economy and Digital Product Passports, initiated by the project. Lively discussions were also held on future research topics, and open challenges that can lead to new research breakthroughs in the future.
