To enable SPARQL queries, CORDIS has developed the EURIO (European research information ontology) knowledge graph. This graph transforms CORDIS data into machine-readable interlinked data, encompassing research projects funded by the 7th Framework Programme, H2020 and, as from November 2024, Horizon Europe. This transformation improves the visibility, reusability and accessibility of project details.

CORDIS´s SPARQL endpoint provides access to query the EURIO Knowledge Graph contents. As the number of SPARQL query services (SPARQL endpoints) grows, with various data providers publishing linked open data, the opportunity emerges to query jointly these distributed linked open data datasets. This significantly enhances the efficiency of your searches.

For more information about SPARQL, follow this brief guide to CORDIS linked open data.

Recently, we took a significant step to further enhance this accessibility by introducing subtitles in six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Polish. This feature not only offers translations in an additional five languages, but also makes our videos more inclusive for those with hearing difficulties along with being a practical solution when watching with sound is not an option. Additionally, these subtitles make our content machine-readable, paving the way for AI-driven knowledge sharing and wider diffusion of research insights.

The EuroGEO initiative plays a key role in creating actionable ‘Earth intelligence’ that combines data from various sources, including real-time environmental observations, citizen science and socio-economic models, to improve environmental and economic performance.

The recent CORDIS Results Pack on Environmental Observations for the EU Green Deal highlights 11 Horizon research projects that help businesses meet the EU Green Deal targets. These projects include initiatives that support sustainable agriculture and forestry,  enhance wildfire management or focus on creating digital twins and predictive tools to better understand and respond to climate impacts, showcasing how environmental observations are essential to building a sustainable and resilient future for Europe.
