2The project in a nutshell
• The industrial domain addressed
• Bioeconomy
• Production of best possible raw
materials from agriculture, forestry and
fishery for the Bioeconomy industry to
produce food, energy and biomaterials
• The current landscape
• Few large ICT vendors so far
• The opportunity
• Bioeconomy can get a boost from Big
Data.
• Farm machines, fishing vessels, forestry
machinery and remote and proximal
sensors collect large quantities data.
• Large scale data collection and collation
enhances knowledge to increase
performance and productivity in a
sustainable way.
• DataBio’s vision for influencing the domain
• Showcase the benefits of Big Data
technologies in the raw material
production for the bioeconomy industry
• Increase participation of European ICT
industry

3Concept and methodology
◦ Variety (managing integration of all the heterogeneous data from the past -
using Linked (Open) Data and semantics/ontologies etc. - and data access,
queries, reporting etc. for data preparation).
 Descriptive analytics and classical query/reporting (performance data,
transactional data, attitudinal data, descriptive data, behavioral data,
location-related data, interactional data, from many different sources)
◦ Velocity (managing real time/sensor data from the present - complex event
processing, Apache Kafka/Storm etc.)
 Monitoring and real-time analytics - pilot services (in need of Velocity
processing - and handling of real-time data from the present) - trigging
alarms, actuators etc.
◦ Volume (mining all the data with respect to prediction and forecasting for
the future - using various types of machine learning and inductive statistical
methods).
 Forecasting, Prediction and Recommendation analytics - pilot services (in
need of Volume processing - and processing of large amounts of data
combining knowledge from the past and present, and from models, to
provide insight for the future).

6WP1 Agriculture
• Detail the pilots to be implemented on top of the provided
common infrastructure;
• Provide the integrated for plots, giving access to all the tools
developed and to the required execution resources (in terms of
data and computation);
• Implement the detailed pilots according to the designs, using
the e-Infrastructure services;
• The Big technologies will be tested in three areas arable
farming, horticulture and Subsidies an insurance, where every
area will be tested in in sub-pilots with different topics and
running in different countries.

10SensLog – Proton CO-OPERATION
• SensLog – web-based sensor data management system
• CEP Proton – platform to support the development,
deployment, and maintenance of event-driven
applications
• SensLog – own data model derived from ISO
Observations&Measurements, sensor-centric
• CEP Proton – data model related to IoT architecture,
entity-centric

11SensLog – Proton cooperation
Main idea:
• bring CEP functionality to DataBio applications,
• harmonization between observation-/sensor-centric data models and IoT
architecture
SensLog – provides receiving and publishing of
observations from/to web applications
Proton – provides analytical functionality to detect
complex events
Communication by REST API with JSON encoding on both
sides
Implmenting of NGSI-9/10 v2 on SensLog side

12SensLog - scalability
• Modular solution for sensor data management on the
Web
• Cooperation with tracking of agricultural machinery for
hundreds of machines
• Need to store set of observations every 2 seconds for
each machinery

13SensLog – scalability
Ideas:
• add rapid database for receiving data – e.g. no-SQL
• paralelize receiver module that is storing to the current
RDBMS
• paralelize whole SensLog with RDBMS – large
partitioning
Candidate tool to use – Docker – duplicates only defined
components
