NGI0 Commons Fund Supports 32 Projects Building the Public Internet

Beyond geospatial data, Open Food Facts and Open Everything Facts contribute to the world's largest open dataset on food and other products. Ontogen/Mud provides tooling for semantic data management, and Smart Semantic Data Lookup experiments with making semantic data easier to use by means of standard SQL databases and modern lightweight data formats. And Massive FOSS scan will do what it says on the tin: run a massive license scan on the whole Software Heritage archive of over 20 billion unique source code files from more than 300 million projects, contributing to a global database with accurate license information, and a massive collection of fingerprints to enable approximate code matching at scale. By leveraging machine learning and a collaborative architecture, Slips aims to evolve into a comprehensive, resilient Internet Immune System, where interconnected devices collectively detect, share information, and defend against cyber threats, enhancing protection through shared knowledge and adaptive responses. With a focus on flexibility, security, resilience, and ease of use, Hop3 empowers developers and small organisations to take full control of their IT infrastructure and data, ensuring digital sovereignty and avoiding vendor lock-in. In an era dominated by network traffic encryption, Sniffnet doesn’t follow the standard monitoring approach that included reporting full packets’ payloads, but rather it provides flow-level details such as the country, the organization, the domain name, the upper-layer service, and other parameters that enable a more immediate understanding about the nature of the network traffic.
