Water Data Management Ecosystem for Water Data Spaces

WATERVERSE的使命是开发一个水资源数据管理生态系统(WDME)，使水资源部门的数据管理做法和资源变得可访问、负担得起、安全、公平和易于使用，从而提高数据的可用性和数据密集型进程的互操作性，从而降低进入数据空间的门槛，增强水务公用事业的弹性，并提高数据的感知价值，从而提高其背后的市场机会。WATERVERSE在水领域采取全面、跨学科的方法，将位于10个欧盟国家的17个合作伙伴的互补能力结合在一起，代表水领域与研究组织(包括社会科学专家)、水公用事业、水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，从而提高水部门和水公用事业的整体弹性。该项目将：(A)积极动员终端用户和利益攸关方评估水部门为有效地成为欧洲高质量数据空间的一部分并为其作出贡献而必须克服的主要差距和挑战；(B)以FIWARE(www.fiware.org)为基础，确定、扩展和整合广泛的数据管理工具，以实施WDME，其中包括确保整个WDME安全和能效的工具和方法；(C)在真实环境中建立和展示WATERVERSE WDME，有来自6个国家(塞浦路斯、西班牙、德国、荷兰、芬兰、英国)的水部门利益攸关方参与相关和多样化的案例研究；(D)为评估与水有关的数据空间的数据公平性制定明确和可衡量的指标；(E)确保WATERVERSE WDME的生存能力和可持续性，以及其可复制性、可扩展性和业务适用性。

The WATERVERSE mission is to develop a Water Data Management Ecosystem (WDME) for making data management practices and resources in the water sector accessible, affordable, secure, fair, and easy to use, improving usability of data and the interoperability of data-intensive processes, thus lowering the entry barrier to data spaces, enhancing the resilience of water utilities and boosting the perceived value of data and therefore the market opportunities behind it. WATERVERSE takes a holistic, interdisciplinary approach in the water domain, blending together complementary competencies of 17 partners located in 10 EU countries, representing the water domain with Research organisations (including social sciences experts), water utilities, water domain technology providers and innovation companies, as well as the technical community that is driving the development of data spaces, thus increasing the resilience of the water sector and water utilities, as a whole. The project will: (a) Actively engage end-users and stakeholders to assess the main gaps and 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) Building Blocks and comprising tools and methods to ensure security and energy efficiency of the whole WDME; (c) Setup and demonstrate the WATERVERSE 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 FAIRness of 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.
