WP10 Dissemination and exploitation - M39

Summary of progress

The major work has been to produce the final deliverables for this work-package, a report on dissemination and exploitation and the final version of the MOLTO web services. In order to produce these, we have tweaked the website and added a number of ways to generate and view the publication activity of the Consortium. Part of the work has also included the delivery of an archival version of the software prototypes as bibliographical items, with describing metadata, on the project's publication list and on a devoted page: http://www.molto-project.eu/view/biblio/type/Software.
We have checked the Open Access policy of the partners and requested the publication on OAI-PMH compatible repositories. The listing of such archives is documented in Deliverable D10.4.

The presence and dissemination of MOLTO via social sites has been constant throughout the lifetime of MOLTO and in the last period we have started to plan how to sustain the MOLTO Community after the project's end. We have been testing various platform, most recently a Google+ Community, where we also streamed the talks from the final Open Day and archived them on YouTube.

The final demonstrations are reachable from the website and they are accompanied by videos in order to supply documentation also in the far future, when the technologies will be obsolete and not available any longer.

Proper documentation and archiving of all these resources is underway. The resources produced by the project are very different in nature and present a challenge in terms of sustainability and future accessibility. They include software (often depending on third-party libraries), technical reports and publications in digital and/or printed form, and multimedia material. We intend to store all of these on an archival media however it is not clear how persistent they will remain.

Highlights

  • Deliverable D10.3 MOLTO web service, final version documents the software that allows to deploy web services for any GF application grammar and describes some sample grammars made available online at http://www.molto-project.eu/cloud/gf-application-grammars
  • D10.4 MOLTO Dissemination and Exploitation Report contains an analysis of the possible venues of impact of MOLTO from an exploitation point of view. The industrial partners came together to discuss how to adopt the tools and technologies developed during the project, how to ensure a sustainable future for them that would benefit all partners in the Consortium.
  • Several new demonstration web sites have been linked from the project's web page: patent translation, query for museum artifacts, query for patents, multilingual semantic wiki, cloud services, translation services and the term factory.
  • Some deliverables are published in the MOBI format. The production of a e-Book reader compatible version has been discussed and the final result checked for readability within the Consortium.
