Development Projects

Our undertaking focuses on enhancing metadata schema capabilities, which includes offering a user-friendly metadata schema authoring and registry tool, leveraging the CEDAR system. Furthermore, we aim to enrich the description of datasets by employing the RO-Crate format.

Under Support Offer #2, our objective is to expand the Dataverse functionalities to encompass RO-Crate import and export. This will utilize the metadata schemas, also known as metadata blocks, available in a Dataverse installation.

Knowledge graphs have become the most important tools of sharing and connecting research or industry information and contacts.  These graphs enable, in a flexible way, the access, use and publication of data as a distributed system.

The goal of the project is to establish a Hungarian research data repository supporting the COVID-19 pandemic related research initiatives.  The research data repository serves as a data store and repository solution both for international and national uses, and provides a definite (peer-to-peer) controlled reliable data sharing platform.

The system builds on the secure data storage and well defined access rights existing in the MTA Cloud services, which is jointly maintained by SZTAKI and Wigner research institutes. 

The Hungarian Scientific Bibliography (MTMT) is a comprehensive national bibliographic database of scientific publications and citations. Since 1999 MTMT collects data from researchers and institutions, and serves more than 30 thousand users. Furthermore, MTMT also provides national and educational institutions with scientific statistical data. The quality of the bibliographic records and the management of institutional data are supervised by a country-wide network of MTMT administrators.

Show your voice! The InterpreterGlove system operates as a sign language interpreter, enabling the speech- and hearing-impaired to communicate with the nondisabled using sign language, their native language. As the signs are automatically transformed to text and audible speech, this solution will significantly improve the communication for the hearing-disabled.

The aim of the KOPI-Trans project is to create algorithms that enable locating and finding English translations of a Hungarian text, either on the internet, in digital libraries or collections. Finding translations is a yet to-be-solved problem on international level as well, even between English and German which are languages spoken by many, however finding a solution to it would mean a great advance in several fields.

DSD cooperates with Nuance to design and implement web services built on Nuance technologies in a cloud environment. The project targets the production of high availability, elastic components, which will be able to serve individuals as well as high profile business partners of Nuance.

The ILI (Intelligent Visitor Guidance: Interactive environment driven by contextual semantics) project's aim is to create an integrated visitor guidance framework that is able to guide visitors in various environments (e.g. museum, hospital, shopping mall, car park, etc.), integrating the capabilities of sensors, location devices and modern displays and interactive devices, thus ILI creates intelligent buildings by enabling high level context-aware services for users.
