Contract Type FiledJune 20th, 2012General information Project title 3 Scalable End-user Access to Big Data Starting date 4 01/11/2012 Duration in months 5 48 Call (part) identifier 6 FP7-ICT-2011-8 Activity code(s) most relevant to your topic 7 : Free keywords 8 Semantic technology, Big data, Scalability, Integration, Massive parallelism, Ontology, Query answering, Time and Streams Abstract 9 Scalable end-user access to Big Data is critical for effective data analysis and value creation. Optique will bring about a paradigm shift for data access by* providing a semantic end-to-end connection between users and data sources* enabling users to rapidly formulate intuitive queries using familiar vocabularies and conceptualisations* seamlessly integrating data spread across multiple distributed data sources, including streaming sources* exploiting massive parallelism for scalability far beyond traditional RDBMSsand thus reducing the turnaround time for information requests to minutes rather than days.These objectives wil
