We all have one goal in mind: Make machines smart enough so that they can help us to find those needles in the haystack, which are really relevant to us.
EIP Water What is the EIP Water and its
objectives?1. EIP Water is an initiative within the “EU 2020 Innovation Union” -
the European Union strategy to create an innovation-friendly environment that makes it easier for great ideas to be turned into products and services that will bring our economy growth and jobs
2. EIP Water aims to identify, test, scale up, disseminate and stimulate the uptake of innovative solutions by the market and society for ten major water related challenges by 2020.
3. EIP Water supports the creation of market opportunities for these innovations, both inside and outside of Europe. It also identifies and addresses barriers and bottlenecks to water innovation.

Metadata per document
1. No or little network effects
2. No reuse of metadata3. Metadata resides in silos4. Data quality hard to
measure5. Not machine-readable
Knowledge about metadata
1. Explicit knowledge models2. Reusable and measurable3. Metadata is machine-
processable4. Standards-based metadata5. Linkable metadata opens silos
