Semantic Academy: the registration for the LifeWatch ERIC Intensive School is now open!

In recent years, one of the major challenges in Environmental and Earth Sciences has been managing and searching larger volumes of data, collected across multiple disciplines. Many different standards, approaches, and tools have been developed to support the Data Lifecycle from Data Acquisition to Data Curation, Data Publishing, Data Processing and Data Use. In particular, modern semantic technologies provide a promising way to properly describe and interrelate different data sources in ways that reduce barriers to data discovery, integration, and exchange among biodiversity and ecosystem resources and researchers.

Το SocioCoast στο Athens Science Festival 2022

Η Πλατφόρμα Γνώσης και η συνοδευτική Εφαρμογή για κινητά τηλέφωνα που δημιουργήθηκαν στα πλαίσια του έργου SocioCoast (INTERREG V-A Ελλάδα-Κύπρος 2014-2020) παρουσιάστηκαν από το ΙΘΑΒΒΥΚ στο Athens Science Festival 2022 «Κόσμοι του Αύριο» που πραγματοποιήθηκε στις 21 – 23 Οκτωβρίου στην Τεχνόπολη του Δήμου Αθηναίων. Η εφαρμογή αφορά επιλεγμένες ακτές με Γαλάζια Σημαία στην Κρήτη και την Κύπρο και παρέχει στο κοινό πληροφορίες σχετικές με την βιοποικιλότητα των περιοχών αυτών, ωκεανογραφικά και μετεωρολογικά δεδομένα, καθώς και για διάφορες τουριστικές παροχές. Οι πολίτες μπορούν να χρησιμοποιήσουν τις πληροφορίες και να συνεισφέρουν σε αυτές με την δραστηριότητα του πληθοπορισμού (crowd sourcing).
