About Us
VAIMEE is a University of Bologna spinoff whose mission is to build the MilkyDataWay

An all-in-one platform enabling the development of interoperable data-driven applications by composing existing
open source
solutions and tools.
If your application is
driven by
real-time
,
heterogeneous
,
not-structured
and
dynamic
data, then MilkyDataWay is what you are looking for!

Milky Data Way
An all-in-one secure, open and scalable platform to compose interoperable applications

- Interoperable
Built on top of
Linked Data
andSemantic Web
technologies, MilkyDataWay is interoperable by design. Compliant with W3C recommendations, MilkyDataWay provides developers with several APIs. #SPARQL 1.1 Secure Event Protocol #NGSI-LD #SOLID #Web of Things - Secure
Secure by design, MilkyDataWay enables
authentication
of users, devices, applications and services according to standard protocols like #Open ID Connect and #OAuth 2.0. MilkyDataWay introduces a novelACL
based on the #Web Access Control SOLID specification - Open
Thanks to open enabling technologies like #SEPA and #W3C Web of Things, MilkyDataWay integrates the very best
open source
solutions to transform raw, dynamic, not structured and heterogeneous data into usable, semantic, interoperable and actionable data
- Scalable
Thanks to the novel distributed
publish-subscribe
mechanism implemented by #SEPA, complemented by state of the art #Docker deployment technology, MilkyDataWay can scale without compromises - Composable
All the integrated services and tools are #semantically described which allows to easily compose new applications, even
assisted by AI
- Web
3.0 ready
MilkyDataWay is enriched by #blockchain technologies to support next generation Web applications and adopts #W3C Web of Things technologies to facilitate the
interaction of Things
, both in the physical and digital worlds

Technologies
Graph Technologies
In particular Knowledge Graphs
as enabling technology of the Web of Data where the data semantics is explicit.
Graph
technology is what you need when the integration
and access of
data at large scale is required.
If data
become also dynamic
then MilkyDataWay comes
into play
Internet of Things
The high level of fragmentation
, the dynamic
nature and
heterogeneity
of data sources make the Internet of Things one of
the most appealing domain for MilkyDataWay
AI Generated Composite Applications
Thanks to the underpinning knowledge representation, within MilkyDataWay even application components are
semantically
described.
This makes their
integration and deployment
easier, envisioning an automatic
generation of applications supported by AI
Smart Spaces
“An ecosystem
of interacting objects, e.g. sensors,
devices, appliances and embedded systems in general, that have
the capability to self-organize
, to provide services and
manipulate/publish complex data.” (Roffia et al., 2011) are fully enabled by MilkyDataWay
The above technologies are referenced by Gartner impact radar for 2022, Gartner Hype Cycle of Emerging Technologies 2018 2019 2020 2021
SPARQL
The semantic data representation allows MilkyDataWay
to improve analytics and sharing capabilities, facilitating
relationships and patterns discovery
among big data sets
Event
The detection and distribution of events over Knowledge Graphs
allows MilkyDataWay to enable the development
of distributed, interoperable, data-driven and context-aware
applications and services
Processing
MilkyDataWay enriches data value providing
valuable insights
thanks to the real time
data aggregation by
means of reasoning
, rules and AI techniques
Architecture
The distributed content-based publish-subscribe
mechanism allows
MilkyDataWay to provide a solid and scalable
solution for the development of services and applications in
several vertical domains, even cross-domain

Web of Things
We do believe #W3C Web of
Things will play a crucial role to overcome the Internet of
Things interoperability
barrier, not by introducing new
standards, but allowing Things to interact using the Web as a
medium to convey actions and events
.
Within MilkyDataWay Things can be described in #JSON-LD and searched through directories like #Zion
Blockchain, distributed Oracles and bridges
MilkyDataWay is ready to enable solutions in
contexts where trustworthy content
handling is essential, such
as providing data evidence in quality and compliance audits,
detecting anomalous conditions in industrial IoT or in
environmental monitoring devoted to mitigating climate changes.
MilkyDataWay can even play the role
of enabler of semantic bridges
to overcome interoperability
among blockchain protocols
