Purpose of the job / project

You will support an AI-plugged data space ecosystem project.

Context and motivation: the Data Space Support Centre (DSSC) coordinates the development of European data spaces and defines which standards a data space should use for interoperability, trust, and governance.

What you will do

This project intends to enable semantic and conceptual interoperability jobs by delegating to an LLM the task of checking for mappings of meanings and concepts, aligning semantic discrepancies framed as proposals or assertions before the final human review, and accepting a new, admissible data vocabulary enrichment. The AI semantic mapper automatises the search for plausible candidates across existing SKOS mappings. LLM is also involved in drafting the first-pass Data Contract.
