DataPorts - A Data Platform for the Connection of Cognitive Ports

DataPorts is a project funded by the European Commission as part of the H2020 Big Data Value PPP programme. It relies on the participation of 13 partners from five different nationalities. The project involves the design and implementation of a data platform and its deployment in two relevant European seaports connecting to their existing digital infrastructures and addressing specific local constraints. The DataPorts Platform main aim is to connect to the different digital infrastructures currently existing in digital seaports, enabling the interconnection of a wide variety of systems into a tightly integrated ecosystem. In addition, it  and reliable data sharing and trading based on data owners’ rules and offering a clear value proposition. Finally, it also strives to leverage on the data collected to provide advanced Data Analytics services based on which the different actors in the port value chain could develop novel AI and cognitive applications. This session will provide an overview of the project, platform, and main technical outcomes. In addition, specific details and demonstrations about the main components of this industrial data platform. Finally, some final remarks about the platform will be presented. The session will consist of several slots focused on: • DataPorts Project Overview • DataPorts platform in a nutshell • Framework to manage the access to heterogeneous IoT data sources • Data Processing Challenges: Interoperability and Data Abstraction and Virtualization • Data Analytics Services and Cognitive Applications: AI-based Weather Predictions/ Forecasts using Telecom Data
