Next Generation Internet Discovery and Search

Project description

Better user experience and protection online

A more human-centric internet – one that supports European values of openness, transparency and privacy protection – is a key priority of the EU’s Next Generation Internet (NGI). In this context, the EU-funded project NGI Search will change our use, experience, search and discovery of data and resources on the internet and world wide web. It will consider the complex evolution of the internet since its inception and the multitude of connected devices and data lakes it has led to. An important aspect of project work is acknowledging the importance of being able to find, represent and make sense of internet-based data sources and resources without having to rely on organisations that offer such services but are non-transparent and therefore potentially violate privacy and trust.

Objective

Since the inception of the internet, applications and services using the internet have evolved significantly. In addition the number of devices connected to the internet, the creation of vast data lakes as well as distributed data cooperatives has made searching and discovering data and generally resources a difficult, yet very important field of research, development and innovation.
Today it is even more important to be able to find, represent and ultimately make sense of internet based data sources and resources without the need of relying on non-transparent organisations offering such services, potentially violating privacy and trust.
The vision of the NGI Search project is to change the way we use and experience search & discover data and resources in general on the internet and web. This includes new user interfaces for searching and representing data (e.g. voice and image based), heterogeneous data sources (e.g. IoT, semantic data, multimedia, social media as well as traditional websites), new methodologies (e.g. machine learning and natural language processing) in generic context and specific use cases (e.g. industry 4.0 health, social media).
