Big Data Europe is a H2020 project. The project aims to: 1) Collect requirements for the ICT infrastructure needed by data-intensive science practitioners tackling a wide range of societal challenges; covering all aspects of publishing and consuming semantically interoperable, large-scale, multi-lingual data assets and knowledge. 2) Design and implement an architecture for an infrastructure that meets requirements, minimizes the disruption to current workflows, and maximizes the opportunities to take advantage of the latest European RTD developments, including multilingual data harvesting, data analytics, and data visualization. FAO participates in the H2020 project for the domain of food and agriculture (societal challenge 2): http://www.big-data-europe.eu/introducing-the-bde-societal-challenges-fo....
