Technical Partner — Knowledge Graphs & Semantics
We built the EO4EU knowledge graph and semantic annotation layer that semantically relates Earth Observation datasets, services and descriptions, so users can discover and query the resources they need. We also led the multi-stakeholder requirements analysis and the project's data management plans.
EU services offer vast amounts of Earth Observation data, but access has rarely extended beyond experts and scientists. The data is fragmented, complex and hard to find, retrieve and process, so turning it into analytics takes specialist skills. As a result, much high-value environmental information remains unexploited.
EO4EU built a DataOps ecosystem that connects major EU data sources such as Copernicus, DestinE and GEOSS. It combines machine-learning semantic annotation, knowledge graphs, data fusion and augmented and virtual reality interfaces, and was demonstrated in pilots covering health, shipping, ocean monitoring, food security, soil erosion, pests and crisis management. Our knowledge graph structures the data so it can be discovered, related and explained.
