The European Commission and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) organise a workshop to collect feedback on updating the Smart Applications Reference (SAREF) specifications

Background

The Smart Applications REFerence (SAREF) ontology is a pivotal framework designed to enable interoperability among smart devices within the IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem. The European Commission has been spearheading and funding SAREF over the last decade. SAREF has also been standardised and further developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). SAREF provides a standardised language that allows diverse smart devices to communicate and interact seamlessly, ensuring that data can be shared and understood across different platforms. This ontology explicitly specifies core concepts and relationships within the smart applications domain, facilitating meaningful interactions between devices within multiple sectors.

About the workshop

To update the stakeholders on the latest developments in SAREF, collect their feedback and showcase the current usage and potential of SAREF, ETSI and the European Commission are organising the workshop “Enhancing IoT Semantic Interoperability by SAREF for Digital Twins”. This event will bring together industry and academia stakeholders, SAREF users, representatives involved in standardisation efforts, and policy makers to discuss recent developments, implementation, and future directions of the SAREF ontology.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
