Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
Simulation standards make additive manufacturing easier to adopt and more affordable for smaller companies. Clear guidelines reduce the learning curve, cut costly trial-and-error, and help SMEs achieve consistent part quality from the start. With access to reliable, standardised simulation tools, SMEs can optimise designs, prevent defects before production, and innovate without the heavy investment normally required. This levels the playing field and allows smaller firms to compete more effectively with larger industry players.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
Standardised simulation improves the safety, reliability, and sustainability of 3D-printed products used across sectors such as healthcare, transport, and energy. More accurate predictions of material behaviour and part performance reduce waste, lower environmental impact, and increase confidence in AM-based solutions. As these standards accelerate responsible innovation, society benefits from cleaner production methods, safer components, and wider access to advanced manufacturing technologies.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)
The work carried out in our working group, has several direct societal impact,including:
Sustainable Growth - Digitisation of European Industry: As these techniques are very important for the future evolution of multimedia technology. Even if this models do not reach the general public, they are already used in specialized markets, like maintenance and health applications.
Sustainable Growth - Robotics and autonomous systems: Plenoptic models have been considered for instance for autonomous driving. Radiance Fields are technologies developed for robotic applications.
Key Enablers - Artificial Intelligence: Learning based solutions are currently being researched for data representation. JPEG AI and JPEG Pleno Learning based Point Cloud Coding are already two projects that use Learning based technology to enable data representation with very low bit rates . and also for Internet of Things (IoT): These models will provide reliable formats for the 3D description of the environment, which by its nature is of special importance fro IoT technology.

My contribution benefits European SMEs and societies by advancing the integration of TM and AI, addressing challenges in communication, efficiency, and inclusivity while aligning with global standards like ISO. For SMEs, this project provides at this stage guidelines and recommendations for accessible AI techniques that are aligned with TM standards and practices, enabling cost-effective automation of terminology processes and improved productivity. SMEs in specialized sectors (e.g., biotech, fintech) and transversal fields (e.g. translation, interpretation) gain better insights for handling domain-specific terminologies, enhancing competitiveness in European and global markets.
Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)
For SMEs, this work reduces adoption barriers by clarifying AI-related standards (e.g. AI Act, GDPR, ISO/IEC), mapping practical use cases, and addressing gaps in tools, skills, and compliance knowledge. This helps smaller organizations implement trustworthy AI solutions aligned with European norms without needing large technical teams.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
For European societies, the project addresses ethical AI concerns like bias and transparency, ensuring responsible adoption in domains like healthcare, law, and education.
Impact on society (7th Open Call)
For European society, we foster ethical, transparent AI integration in sectors like healthcare, governmental services and justice. By involving diverse stakeholders, we ensure solutions address real needs, safeguard rights, and reflect EU values. Our approach supports innovation while reinforcing public trust in AI, making deployment more inclusive and impactful across communities.

Description of Activities

One of the main gaps that I am tackling with this activity is that many important standards are published only as PDF, without global identifiers (URLs) that can be used in requirements and test management, and without technical artefacts like datasets, schemas, test cases.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)
A Digital Product Passport (DPP) will be required for almost any physical product, starting in 2026 for some product groups and then subsequently widening its application range. This means that all manufacturers are required to provide various sustainability-related data on their products, once they enter the European market.
With the advent of the DPP, technical communication will most probably either be part of the DPP or strongly intertwined with the information provided through it. Technical communicators who are capable of providing product information arranged into a machine-readable concept model of the product and its context of use are in high demand on the labour market and in the freelance consultant market. Approaching the modeling task in accordance with the principles that will be laid out in the NWIP will help them to perform their work more easily and in a well-structured manner.
Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)
Digital representations of assets can be found not only in models, simulations and Asset Administration Shells of products, but also in the associated technical documentation that becomes increasingly modular and context-specific. The appropriateness of its semiotic modes, combination of multimodal elements and choice of output media highly depends on the product’s context of use, incorporating users’ capabilities, tasks and goals, physical, technical and organizational environments, and available resources.
The proposed standard supports technical communicators and similar roles in designing, structuring and delivering product-related information to users of that product. It provides advice on how to set up a style guide that determines what modes, multimodal elements and media are appropriate for specified contexts of product use. In SMEs, which cannot afford large technical communication departments with employees covering a broad range of expertise, this approach is essential for streamlining processes and adhering to legal requirements.
Impact on society (4th Open Call)
The information chunks that convey conceptual information will conform to the “Intelligent information for use” metadata scheme, so that they provide meta-information about their semantics and hence become machine-readable and semantically interoperable with other information, e.g., in other submodels of the AAS. Which is, on the other hand, a prerequisite for their accessibility via differing sensory modalities in humans and therefore for barrier-free communication. This aspect has gained in importance with the imminent entry into force of the European Accessibility Act in June 2025.
Impact on society (6th Open Call)
Technical documentation increasingly turns into a set of fine-grained technical information assets featuring semantics via metadata on context of use parameters. These information assets hence become machine-readable and semantically interoperable with other information, e.g., AAS or DPP submodels. Which is, on the other hand, a prerequisite for their accessibility via differing sensory modalities in humans and therefore for barrier-free communication. This aspect has gained in importance with the imminent entry into force of the European Accessibility Act in June 2025.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)
Simulation is at the top of functionalities in buildings or smart cities. It is an AI model-based approach, compatible with the European values and the AI Act, recently approved at the European Parliament. Standards for simulation will allow the use of these techniques, providing an increased knowledge and future AI implementations of governance. It will open new markets and services.
Impact on society (2nd Open Call)
Mathematical simulation can be a revolutionary tool for the renovation wave and new buildings design, but it needs a supporting standard for the components, which must be well defined, certified, and validated. We propose to represent this standard by using ontologies or semantic web technologies.

Never before has there been a faster and cheaper way to obtain information about land, water, atmosphere, as well as human impact on it. In Europe, for example, the Copernicus satellite family provides the foundation for insight into our planet, together with long climate time series and further data, such as elevation models. For such Big Earth Data, spatio-temporal datacubes are an established cornerstone in OGC, ISO, and INSPIRE standardisation modelled as "coverages".
For robust, user-friendly, interoperable services, a technically sound coverage standards suite is indispensable. The ISO/OGC suite of coverage data and service model is instrumental for easy, interoperable handling, and a who’s who of primary open-source and proprietary geo tools support these standards. For example, the legal framework for a common European spatial data infrastructure, INSPIRE, has adopted CIS as its basis.
In summary, this work is of the highest practical relevance and visibility, with significant impact on geo data infrastructures and, ultimately, increased understanding of our planet and the impact we have on it, as well as everyday day-to-day use of insight from geo data.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)
Better standards allow better tools and services, allowing us to gain a better understanding and insight into our planet. In particular, analysis of time series and fusion of multiple data sources, from in-situ to orbit, are critical enablers. The 19123-2 specification defines flexible, scalable, and interoperable ways of combining various spatio-temporal data sources into a standard picture; suitable tools may even provide dynamic services answering “any query, anytime”.
