Akoma Ntoso Version 1.0
The Akoma Ntoso standard distinguishes between concepts regarding the description and identification of legal documents, their content, and the context in which they areused. Names are used to associate the document representations to concepts so that documents can be “read/understood” by a machine, thus allowing sophisticated services that are impossible to attain with documents containing only typographical information, such as documents created in word-processing applications.To make documents machine-readable, every part with a relevant meaning and role must have a “name” (or “tag”) that machines can read. The content is marked up as precisely as possible according to the legal analysis of the text. This requires precisely identifying the boundaries of the different text segments, providing an element name that best describes the text in each situation, and also providing a correct identifier to each labelled fragment.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
A clear, actionable EN AI Conformity Assessment standard makes compliance with the EU AI Act far easier and less costly for smaller companies. With a coordinated set of standards instead of a fragmented landscape, SMEs save time, reduce legal uncertainty, and avoid investing in multiple overlapping compliance tools. This streamlined approach supports faster product deployment, lowers administrative burden, and enables SMEs to build trustworthy AI solutions that meet European requirements from day one.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
A unified set of AI conformity standards strengthens public trust in how AI systems are developed, assessed, and deployed. By making risk management transparent and consistent, these standards help ensure that AI used in critical domains is safe, fair, and reliable. A coordinated framework also enables early detection and mitigation of societal risks, fostering a resilient AI ecosystem where innovation happens responsibly and benefits reach citizens, public services, and the broader European economy.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The work supports the better integration and alignment of two key European ambitions under the Green Deal: becoming climate-neutral and advancing digital transformation. Our local and regional governments (LRG) are at the heart of this transformation. LRGs are responsible for organizing the topic of smart cities in spin-offs, and LRGs are the places that use our society.Also, our goal is to build and consolidate synergies with existing European initiatives, programs, and platforms focused on advancing climate-neutral and smart cities.Such as , engagement with ClimateView that is a Stockholm-based climate tech SME founded in 2018. The company provides ClimateOS, a software platform that supports municipal governments in planning, modeling, monitoring, and financing climate-neutral and smart city transitions.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The work supported the societal impact of standardisation by helping to anchor the twin transitions, digital and climate, in the real needs of cities and communities, where societal change is most visible and immediate. Cities are the spaces where challenges are experienced firsthand and where solutions must be effectively implemented. By strengthening their involvement in the standardisation process, we ensure that the resulting standards are not only technically sound but also socially relevant and fit for purpose. Local knowledge is essential for identifying practical needs and streamlining resources, enabling standards that deliver real value and promote efficiency. This approach also strengthens Europe’s global leadership by aligning strategic innovation with on-the-ground implementation.
The continued and active participation of representatives from associations, cities, and communities underscored the strong interest in and perceived relevance of this work to address pressing challenges. Beyond the core topics of digitalisation and climate change, we also addressed issues such as procurement, nature-based solutions, and the nature-positive economy. A representative from the Tiliria Region (Cyprus) highlighted the importance of recognising and integrating historical knowledge as a distinct asset for addressing energy and water shortages and building more resilient societies. Inspired by these debates, the Cypriot Mirror Committee will launch a new standardisation project to develop a standardised Climate City Contract for Cyprus, which will serve cities and communities in creating broad coalitions and help address climate change more systematically.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
This standard responds to some requirements outlined in the European Union eIDAS2 regulation and will be implemented by European SMEs and societies active in the EU digital ID wallet ecosystem regulated by eIDAS.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The primary gap being addressed is the lack of standardized interfaces for Authentic Sources in the European Digital Identity (EUDI) ecosystem. Despite the legal requirement set out in eIDAS 2.0 (Article 45e) for Authentic Sources to provide such interfaces, there is currently no available specification that defines how these interfaces should be designed or implemented. This gap has been officially recognized in the CEN TC224 WG20 “European Digital Identity Wallets Standards Gap Analysis” and significantly impedes interoperability across Member States.
This fellowship contributes to the enhancement of the ITU-T X.1281 standard, the project supports the creation of secure, trusted, and interoperable mechanisms for verifying attributes from Authentic Sources. This is crucial for the deployment of the EUDI Wallet, a flagship initiative under the Digital Single Market strategy aiming to be available to all EU citizens and residents by 2026.
The key challenges are related to:
Interoperability: The lack of standardization leads to fragmented implementations across Member States, impeding seamless cross-border operations.
Security and Trust: Verifying sensitive personal attributes (like diplomas or driving licenses) requires secure, privacy-preserving, and auditable mechanisms that are hard to implement consistently without a shared standard.
Legal and Technical Fragmentation: Authentic Sources vary widely across jurisdictions in terms of legal frameworks, data models, and technical capacities. A harmonized standard must respect these national differences while ensuring a unified operational framework at the EU level.

Description of Activities
I focus on the development of a new standard Work Model type (Technical Specification) that facilitates the consolidation, integration, and implementation of requirements, helping organisations comply with AI laws, regulations, and standards more effectively. The objective is to guide and support organisations on how to meet the multiple requirements imposed by laws, regulations, and standards on AI-based systems. The initiative will not create new requirements but will provide assistance and guidance to organisations on how to consolidate, integrate, implement and audit different sources of requirements

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
The AI-Compliance initiative aims to develop a new standard to help European organisations, especially SMEs, comply with complex AI-related laws, regulations and standards. This new standard will be especially valuable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) because these organisations often lack the internal resources, specialised staff, and structured processes necessary to implement regulatory environments.
SMEs frequently struggle to interpret legal and technical requirements, allocate time for implementation, and ensure ongoing adherence. A practical standard would provide a clear framework for implementation reducing the cost and effort of compliance.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
European small organisations (SMEs) and very small organisations (VSMEs) do not have the experts or economic resources to hire specialised AI consultants on compliance, so they must postpone the application of AI in their businesses. This generates a new delay in their innovation gap. The main opportunity for SMEs-VSMEs is their incorporation to a future AI-Compliance collectives: sectorial cluster type, laboratory of a City Hall and other potential movements of knowledge collectivisation.
Creating a standard to guide organisations and SMEs to facilitate compliance for AI implementations reduce the risk of sanctions by regulatory authorities and facilitates confidence that the use being made of AI systems is ethical, moral and legal.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The European Union can push its values and ethics in AI without fear of crippling economic development by having a new standard to help with regulatory compliance. For the EU, it is primarily about finding ways to seize the opportunities offered by AI in a way that is human-centred, ethical, safe and consistent with our core values as Europeans.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
A new standard supports consolidating, integrating and optimising regulatory requirements and make compliance audits more efficient will be essential for the development of AI in Europe, and thus of European industry and welfare. This new standard will enable European organisations to leverage the full potential of AI while ensuring compliance with the various mandatory requirements. In doing so, this standard will enhance the competitiveness of European organisations.
In this way, the new standard will open the door to the competitiveness of European organisations by making AI compliance more efficient. The pillars of the new guidelines standard are:
Converting different regulations and standards into a cloud of requirements.
Consolidate and integrate these requirements into a specific set.
To make the implementation of requirements more efficient.
Reduce the cost and organisational effort of regulation compliance.
Guidance on the management of specific requirements implementation projects.
Reduce and optimise the number of internal and external audits.
My fellowship also contributed to the development of working methodologies in organisations aligned with the objectives of the European AI Office and its ‘Regulation and Compliance’ Unit.

Description of Activities
My fellowship addresses three critical gaps in the European AI standardization landscape: The first gap concerns the harmonisation of Documentation Development, as there is an urgent need for technical documentation (Annex ZA, HAS checklists) to connect developing standards with AI Act requirements following the M/593 request. Without this work, standards risk delayed OJEU citation, creating regulatory uncertainty. I've worked on developing preliminary harmonization documents for JT021008 (Trustworthiness), JT021039 (QMS), and JT021024 (Risk Management). The second gap is related to cross-Standard Technical Coherence. As multiple AI standards are developed simultaneously, it creates potential inconsistencies in terminology, requirements, and implementation approaches. I've created mapping documents highlighting interconnections between standards, particularly focusing on how QMS requirements interface with other M/593 standards, to ensure a coherent framework. The third gap focuses on the alignment with EU AI Act Articles, as technical specifications in draft standards must precisely align with AI Act articles to support regulatory compliance. I have contributed targeted technical refinements to clauses 6.4 (transparency) and 6.5 (human oversight) in the Trustworthiness Framework to strengthen alignment with Articles 13 and 14 of the AI Act.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
I believe that this work helps reduce compliance uncertainty and costs for SMEs. Technical coherence across the standards framework simplifies implementation for organizations with limited resources. My contributions to the QMS standard particularly focus on ensuring requirements are scalable and accessible to SMEs developing AI systems (i.e. being able to show SMEs how standard interrelating is valuable and would solve burdens related to understanding how requirements across different standards flow).
Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)
The editorial leadership of EN AI Trustworthiness Framework Part II directly supports European SMEs through Articles 62-63 AI Act provisions for SME assistance. The standard provides SMEs with clear, pre-endorsed technical specifications for meeting AI Act accuracy and robustness requirements, reducing compliance costs and legal uncertainty. The harmonization documentation coordinated through editorial work enables SMEs to achieve presumption of conformity through standardized approaches rather than expensive individual assessments.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The work on the AI Trustworthiness Framework (particularly enhancing requirements for transparency and human oversight) ensures standards effectively support the protection of fundamental rights as required by the AI Act. This strengthens societal safeguards against potential harms from AI systems.
Impact on society (9th Open Call)
I can see several societal impacts with the engaged standadisation activities:
AI Accuracy and Robustness Standards: As Editor of EN AI Trustworthiness Framework Part II, my work directly supports European citizens' rights to accurate and robust AI systems. The standard establishes technical requirements ensuring AI systems deployed across the EU meet rigorous accuracy standards and maintain performance across operational conditions, protecting citizens from unreliable algorithmic decision-making in high-risk contexts.
SME Innovation Ecosystem: The editorial leadership through N1106 coordination enables European SMEs to compete effectively in AI markets by providing clear compliance pathways rather than costly regulatory uncertainty. This supports innovation while ensuring responsible AI deployment protecting European citizens.
European Leadership in Global AI Governance: The editorial role positions European values-based approaches to AI accuracy and robustness for global influence. The framework embeds principles of reliability, trustworthiness, and accountability into technical specifications that influence international AI standardization discussions.
Consumer Protection Framework: The cross-WG coordination through N1106 ensures AI standards address consumer concerns around system reliability, performance consistency, and safety while remaining technically implementable. This balance protects European consumers while supporting technological advancement and maintaining Europe's competitive position in global AI markets.

Description of Activities
I addressed priorities and gaps on three specific AI areas, including:
- Metadata Persistence in Dynamic Content Environments: Addressing the gap of traditional identification systems when metadata bindings are disrupted as content is altered. ISCC-soft binding techniques create resilient content-metadata bonds without centralized registries, maintaining reference integrity along numerous axes of change using similarity-preserving identification algorithms.
- Cross-Domain Identification Interoperability: Resolving constraints of isolated content recognition systems. ISCC's composability enables standardized cross-format identification across text, image, audio and video content formats, enabling metadata discovery across previously disparate identification ecosystems without relying on proprietary integration methods.
- Decentralized Authentication Systems: Developing technological infrastructure for decentralized content provenance verification. Classical authentication mechanisms create single points of failure and privacy problems. This project evaluates soft binding methods that enable verifiable content provenance while maintaining compatibility with European digital sovereignty principles and facilitating transparent content verification without trusted centralized authorities.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
Generally speaking, the direct participation of SME in the standardisation process has two aims; firstly, to influence and make standards created for or by large companies even usable by small companies. And secondly, to lead SMEs to understand and use standards to better compete in the marketplace. Participating in this WS falls under both cases. The most positive impact would be to find a way to make the knowledge gained available to SMEs in order to spread the knowledge of these frameworks for the industrial use of AI.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
The CWA is focused on the optimisation of resources and energy that AI seems to promise. All the models used by the frameworks involve circular processes where AI agents progressively learn from the data transmitted by sensors and process issues , while there is always human verification at one stage of the process, this allows for a progressive accumulation of data and continuous optimisation that promises both to be able to respond in real time to situations of sudden variations and to optimise the use of resources, particularly of energy.
