The European Commission and the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) organise a workshop to collect feedback on updating the Smart Applications Reference (SAREF) specifications.
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.
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.
For more information on the event, and to register to participate, please visit the event website. Please note that registration closes on 18 September 2024.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
