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.

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
