WATERVERSE : Water Data Management Ecosystem for Water Data

WATERVERSE的使命是开发一个水数据管理生态系统（WDME），使水务部门的数据管理实践和资源易于获取、负担得起、安全、公平和易于使用，提高数据的可用性和数据密集型流程的互操作性，从而降低进入数据空间的门槛，增强水务公司的弹性，提高数据的感知价值，从而提高数据背后的市场机会。WATERVERSE在水领域采取了一种全面的跨学科方法，将位于10个欧盟国家的17个合作伙伴的互补能力融合在一起，代表了水领域的研究组织（包括社会科学专家）、水务公司、水务领域技术提供商和创新公司，以及推动数据空间发展的技术社区，从而提高了水部门和水务公司的整体弹性。该项目将：(a)积极吸引最终用户和利益攸关方参与，以评估水部门必须克服的主要差距和挑战，以便有效地参与并促进高质量的欧洲数据空间；(b)确定、扩展和整合一套广泛的数据管理工具，以FIWARE (www.fiware.org) BuildingBlocks为基础，包括确保整个WDME的安全和能源效率的工具和方法，以实施WDME；(c)通过涉及6个国家（塞浦路斯、西班牙、德国、荷兰、芬兰、联合王国）的水部门利益攸关方的相关和不同的案例研究，在实际环境中建立和示范waterverse WDME；(d)为评价与水有关的数据空间数据的公平性制定明确和可衡量的指标；(e)确保WATERVERSE WDME的可行性和可持续性，以及其可复制性、可扩展性和商业适用性。

The WATERVERSE mission is to develop a Water Data Management Ecosystem (WDME) for making data management practices andresources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use, improving usability of data and the interoperabilityof data-intensive processes, thus lowering the entry barrier to data spaces, enhancing the resilience of water utilities and boosting theperceived value of data and therefore the market opportunities behind it. WATERVERSE takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach in thewater domain, blending together complementary competencies of 17 partners located in 10 EU countries, representing the water domainwith Research organisations (including social sciences experts), water utilities, water domain technology providers and innovationcompanies, as well as the technical community that is driving the development of data spaces, thus increasing the resilience of thewater sector and water utilities, as a whole. The project will: (a) Actively engage end-users and stakeholders to assess the main gapsand challenges the water sector must overcome to effectively be part of and contribute to quality European data spaces; (b) Identify,extend, and integrate a wide set of data management tools to implement the WDME, based on FIWARE (www.fiware.org) BuildingBlocks and comprising tools and methods to ensure security and energy efficiency of the whole WDME; (c) Setup and demonstrate theWATERVERSE WDME in real environment with relevant and diverse case studies involving water sector stakeholders from 6 countries(Cyprus, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, United Kingdom); (d) Set clear and measurable indicators for assessing FAIRnessof data in water-related data spaces; (e) Ensure the viability and sustainability of the WATERVERSE WDME, as well as its replicability,scalability and business applicability.
