STELAR Project Featured on Innovation Radar
The STELAR project has received notable recognition on Innovation Radar for its groundbreaking Knowledge Lake Management System (KLMS), specifically designed for agrifood applications.
This acknowledgment underscores a commitment to innovation and sustainability, as the KLMS contributes to 11 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What is Innovation Radar?
Innovation Radar is a European Commission initiative aimed at identifying high-potential innovations and innovators in EU-funded research and innovation projects. By highlighting these advancements, the initiative seeks to foster a supportive ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship.
Being featured on Innovation Radar signifies that a project or innovation meets rigorous standards of technological excellence and societal relevance. It offers increased visibility to innovators, connecting them with potential partners, investors, and users who can benefit from their solutions.
For STELAR, recognition by Innovation Radar represents a vital milestone. It not only validates the efforts in developing an innovative data management solution but also amplifies visibility in the agrifood sector.
This recognition serves as a testament to the collaborative work of partners, including Athena Research Center, Agroknow, and Foodscale Hub, who have been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition. Their expertise and dedication have been crucial in ensuring that the KLMS addresses the needs of diverse stakeholders in the agrifood supply chain.
Introducing the STELAR Knowledge Lake Management System (KLMS)
The STELAR KLMS aims to empower organisations by providing a robust framework for managing, sharing, and extracting value from vast amounts of data. As organisations increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making, this innovative system offers a collaborative infrastructure that enables users to handle large datasets efficiently.
One of the key value propositions of the KLMS is its ability to support startups, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), medium professional users, and large enterprises throughout the supply chain. These users are looking to manage FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and AI-ready data in a way that is both automated and energy-efficient. The KLMS is equipped with a comprehensive suite of data management tools that facilitate this process.
Key Features of the KLMS
- Enhanced Dataset Descriptions: The KLMS can automatically extract additional metadata, quality indicators, and summaries to describe the content of datasets. This enhancement allows for more fine-grained criteria for data discovery and reuse, ensuring that users can find relevant data more easily.
- Ontology and Vocabulary Mapping: The system (semi-)automatically maps concepts and terms across various ontologies and vocabularies. This functionality links data instances across different sources and aligns data in space and time, facilitating seamless integration of diverse datasets.
- Automated Data Labelling: The KLMS is capable of (semi-)automatically labelling different types of data—textual, geospatial, and temporal. Additionally, it can generate synthetic data to increase the input for machine learning (ML) models, thereby enhancing analytical capabilities.
These features create immense opportunities for organisations across various sectors, particularly those grappling with challenges related to data accessibility, integration, and analysis. By providing a commercial framework that encourages open collaboration and shared value creation, the STELAR KLMS stands out as a versatile and inclusive platform for data management.
Conclusion
The recognition of the STELAR project on Innovation Radar not only highlights our innovative KLMS but also positions us as leaders in the agrifood sector’s data management landscape. By offering a system that enables efficient data handling and promotes collaboration, STELAR is paving the way for a more sustainable and data-driven future.
