Scientific Excellence

From a scientific perspective, the OEPI project offers the opportunity to explore interesting research challenges in the following fields:
• Ontology engineering:  Validating the applicability of existing technologies and definition of EPI description language
• Software architectures: Extension of current SOA paradigm to support heterogeneous enterprise services; Integration of Web 2.0 techniques; principles for lightweight  composition and aggregation of web services

Secondary research will accompany the deployment of intermediate results in the industrial companies. Furthermore OEPI should result as a major topic in the sustainability research map driven by the consortium.

Scientific Outcome

The reference architecture for the proposed OEPI platform may serve as a blue print for the implementation as well as for an extension of the concept to further use cases. Also, the OEPI project will advance the construction of a Single Information Space in Europe (SISE) regarding the environment. Finally, the results of the OEPI project will be will be published in leading journals and conferences, in addition to being integrated into teaching courses held at the participating universities.
