The project partners reviewed the collaborative work and progress made in the second project year, which included more than a dozen milestones – all of which were delivered as planned. More importantly, the meeting provided an opportunity to discuss an internal plan on how best to focus on the remaining goals of the project. This included initial discussions on unconstraint and correlation search, data fusion, crawling product data, extraction library, enterprise adapters and dissemination of project results.
