Semantic Web for European Security

A team lead by ESG - Elektroniksystem und Logistik GmbH, Munich, and composed, among others, of Dutch National Aerospace Laboratory, German Aerospace Center, and Joint Research Center, has been awarded by the European Commission a project for the "GEOCREW Study on Crisis Management and Situation Awareness Centre". The project is a supporting action in the first call for the new European security research program [1].


@semantics contributes to GEOCREW with the "Information Integration Concept" workpackage. The approach taken by @semantics is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF) [2] as the basic layer of the Semantic Web. This open Web standard, combined with advanced Web and encryption techniques can be used to build flexible cooperation models, combine public information with commercial and classified data and build software systems which can be easily adapted to different threats.


About @semantics: a start-up company developing
basic Semantic Web technologies and building "Worldwide Information Integration" solutions. @semantics is a European company with offices in Italy, The Netherlands, Norway and United Kingdom.
