The FIspace project will leverage and extend the domain-solutions and stakeholder communities for international transport and logistics and agri-food developed during the Phase I use case projects FInest and SmartAgriFood. This extension of capabilities will allow for cross domain usage of the FIspace service to address multi-domain business challenges. Such cross domain usage will demonstrate to other FI PPP use case projects the value of the FIspace collaboration model and, hopefully, encourage them to utilize its services in their projects. FIspace will also actively seek out applications and enablers from other Phase II projects to encourage their development and deployment in the FIspace ecosystem. The enabling technologies will be taken from the FInest and SmartAgriFood Phase I projects, as well as the work done in the FI-WARE core platform project, and integrated into the FIspace service itself as generic services, or developed as domain applications implementable from the FIspace application store.
The focus of the project will be to implement and test the FIspace solution and its underlying technologies, specifically the FI-WARE GEs, using multi-domain trial experiments. In addition, the project will utilize the trials to empirically support the business benefits identified during Phase I of each project, and thus ultimately will demonstrate the benefits of real life utilization of FI enabled technologies. In total, 8 trials are selected, that are grouped into 3 use case scenarios.
