QUATRO Plus (Content Labels for User Empowerment)
Objective: Traditional quality labels and trustmarks are logos that are visible to humans but undetectable by machines. The original 2-year QUATRO project identified a demand for and the usefulness of interoperable, machine-readable quality labels; created a platform for their delivery and authentication; and developed two end-user tools. QUATRO Plus seeks to build on the work done and to extend its scope significantly, notably by allowing users to contribute to both the creation of labels and the trust that other users may put in them. In this context, the project seeks to increase greatly the number of labelling authorities using the system and to promote a labelling culture.

INDIGO (Interaction with Personality and Dialogue Enabled Robots)
The goal of INDIGO is to develop technology that will facilitate the advancement of human-robot interaction. This will be achieved both by enabling robots to perceive natural human behaviour as well as by making them act in ways that are familiar to humans. To achieve its goals, INDIGO will exploit and advance various enabling technologies. Additionally, it will focus on the integration of the involved technologies in a robotic platform.

BOEMIE (Bootstrapping Ontology Evolution with Multimedia Information Extraction).
Objective: BOEMIE advocates a synergistic approach that combines multimedia extraction and ontology evolution in a bootstrapping process involving, on the one hand, the continuous extraction of semantic information from multimedia content in order to populate and enrich the ontologies and, on the other hand, the deployment of these ontologies to enhance the robustness of the extraction system.

CROSSMARC (Cross-lingual Multi-agent Retail Comparison).
Objective: The development of technology for web information retrieval and extraction, which can be easily customised to new domains and languages. To achieve this objective, we implemented an open, multi-lingual and multi-agent architecture that integrates the CROSSMARC components into a web-based prototype system. Furthermore, we developed an infrastructure to facilitate customisation of CROSSMARC technologies to new domains and languages.
