This document summarizes the DataBio project, which received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 program. The project aims to boost bioeconomy industries by showing how big data technologies can increase performance and productivity in raw material production from agriculture, forestry, and fisheries. It will build a platform for handling distributed, heterogeneous data from these domains and provide analytics capabilities. The platform will be tested through pilots focused on precision agriculture, horticulture, arable farming, and subsidies/insurance. The project involves 48 partners, including several that provide relevant technologies and solutions.

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
 DataBio will build a platform suitable for different industries
and user profiles
◦ Capability to handle distributed, heterogeneous and very
large datasets
◦ Configure predictive analytics and machine learning
components
◦ Mechanisms for real time analytics and stream processing
◦ Solutions for managing storage and queries of various big
data sources
◦ Integrated advanced visualization services
◦ Big data acquisition and curation with security/privacy
support
◦ Easily replicated due to using standard systems and known
best practices

4Concept 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).

• 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.
