Call

Technologies for data management (AI, Data and Robotics Partnership) (IA)

Summary

Proposal results are expected to provide new secure and energy-efficient data management tools: improving the usability and discoverability of data in different contexts, covering data provenance, synthetic data generation, data quality management (such as data cleaning, validation, enrichment, co-creation, identification of bias and correlations), improving data interoperability, metadata management (automated ways of labelling and describing data, data linkage), and ensuring data security, privacy and integrity, especially in the context of data spaces.

Detailed Call Description

The actions are expected to provide practical, robust and scalable tools to improve the interoperability, quality, and integrity of data and metadata, in the context of other topics of the heading “Data sharing in the common European data space”. The data management tools and systems should support a holistic approach of the data life cycle and comply with accountability, fairness and confidentiality as well as the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) for data and metadata management. Actions are expected to deal with gaps and needs identified in real-world data space management and real-world data heterogeneity challenges supporting, where necessary, hybrid/adaptive approaches and models, leading to robust, reliable and automated annotation of unstructured data sources. The tools should contribute to minimization of the energy footprint, be adaptable to different user needs and support and encourage new business models and (where appropriate) citizen involvement and social innovation. The tools should be demonstrated by diverse use cases. Provision of open source tools is encouraged to contribute to outreach and impact.
