CyclOps Approach
CyclOps pursues its mission through a comprehensive and practical approach. The foundation of the project is a technical platform, organized into four key layers (User Intent, Knowledge, Runtime, and Interoperability), which together allow for the automated management of data throughout its entire lifecycle. This setup ensures that data can move without difficulties across different systems and domains, making it easier to integrate, process, and reuse.
The project also creates a clear governance framework, outlining the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder and setting up compliance mechanisms to build trust and transparency.
To prove the value of its solution, CyclOps is working on four real-world pilot projects in important European sectors (tourism, green deal, public procurement, and manufacturing). These pilots are designed to demonstrate the real benefits of automated and FAIR data management in action. Finally, CyclOps’s ambition is to work with other major European data initiatives, making sure its solutions are interoperable and contribute to a more connected and sovereign European data ecosystem.
In this new data-based economy era we are living, CyclOps addresses the need for a systematic and standardised mechanism to ingest, integrate and analyse data, addressing challenges such as considering the whole data life cycle, interoperability and portability of data between and across sectors, cybersecurity, privacy and fairness aspects, and human-related aspects, both considering social and cultural factors when needed, ability to process human-generated and human-related data and integrating the human in the loop in a seamless manner.
The Four CyclOps Use Cases
1. Tourism use case
1. Tourism use case
-
Partners: EONA-X, Ávoris, AnySolution, Apidae, Garden Hotels
Tourism is a central use case for CyclOps, with EONA-X as a key partner. This use case is unique, as it focuses on two geographical areas:
-
Isère (France): CyclOps is developing a monitoring tool to track tourist flows and prevent overcrowding in sensitive natural areas, directly supporting sustainable tourism management.
-
Mallorca (Spain): The project is building a trip-planning tool to help visitors create personalized itineraries and enhance visitor experience.
2. Public Procurement pilot
2. Public Procurement pilot
Public procurement data in Europe is highly fragmented and underused, limiting SME participation despite their economic importance. CyclOps is developing tools to:
-
Provide a dashboard of success factors for SMEs.
-
Offer a scenario simulator to evaluate the impact of new procurement policies.
-
Rank tenders by the probability of SME success.
By combining AI and semantic technologies, this use case supports policymakers and SMEs, making public procurement more inclusive and efficient.
3. Green Deal use case
3. Green Deal use case
Climate change adaptation requires robust, data-driven risk assessment and monitoring. CyclOps is enabling authorities to access and analyze complex environmental and Earth observation data through an integrated knowledge base. A pilot in Italy’s Adige river basin focuses on:
-
Droughts
-
Heatwaves
-
Wildfires
This use case showcases how advanced data tools can power early warning systems and inform effective climate action.
4. Manufacturing pilot
4. Manufacturing pilot
European manufacturers face rising costs, sustainability demands, and underuse of their own data. CyclOps is creating a dedicated data space for the offset printing sector, enabling:
-
Supply chain optimization
-
Predictive maintenance via decentralized AI models
This approach supports zero-defect manufacturing, reduces waste, and helps manufacturers align with circular economy principles, boosting competitiveness and environmental responsibility.
