International Activity
and Dissemination
International cooperation:
SIRIUS has strong international cooperation across various academic, research and industrial sectors. Some of the highlights on SIRIUS International collaboration is as follows:
• Partnerships at the Center of the University of Oxford and the City University London. Focus areas have for this collaboration is around semantic integration, databases and otology engineering.
• Collaboration with researchers at Birkbeck College, University of London. This collaboration is around the SIRIUS OBDA subsurface pilot project ( Ontology-based data access for the subsurface data).
• Collaboration with UFRGS in Porto Alegre, Brazil. This collaboration is mainly focused on students mobility, partly funded by DIKU and DIKU / CAPES:
• Membership and participation in the EU’s Big Data Value Association PPP and A.SPIRE PPP as part of Horizon 2020.
• Continuation for PETROMAKS / FINEP project PeTWIN.
• Participation in SINOS ’collaboration with Brazil.
• A new international partner joined SIRIUS in 2021: metaPhacts GmbH.
Horizon 2020 and European Cooperation
• The H2020 project Melodic (731664) was expanded with another project, Morphemic (871643). This project contributes infrastructure for and content to the SIRIUS HPC research program.
• SIRIUS, through Einar Broch Johnsen is, a partner in REMARO (a Marie Curie project that looks at using formal methods to ensure that autonomous robotics is safe and reliable).
• SIRIUS submitted ten project applications for H2020 this year:
• SIRIUS is a partner and WP leader in ONTOCOMMONS, an H2020 CSA for the use of semantics in materials technology.
• SIRIUS is a partner in an H2020-SC1-PHE-CORONA- VIRUS-2020-2-NMBP project Eur3ka, which will use ICT to build flexible responses to pandemics in the industry.
• Positioning work in an EU project has been done through membership in BDVA (Big Data Value Association) and A.SPIRE PPP for the process industries.
• SIRIUS is participating in a Nordic Interoperability Coope- ration. We collaborate with universities and companies in Sweden (Luleå) and Finland (Tampere) to establish EU projects in this important subject area.
Priority Partners: Brazil and the United States
SIRIUS is leading a new INTPART project, DSYNE, collabo- rating with the University of Southeast Norway, the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the Federal University of Espirito Santo, the University of Houston and the Stevens Institute of Technology.
SIRIUS is the coordinator, together with UFRGS, for the PeTWIN project, a collaboration project within digital twins for field management. Industrial partners are Equinor, Shell and Petrobras.
SIRIUS has used SIU UTFORSK and UTFORSK / CAPES funds to support the collaboration with the research group of Prof. Mara Abel at UFRGS. This group has complementary expertise in applying semantic technologies in oil and gas.
