PASSAT: Digital Product Passport Austria & Beyond

Digital Product Passport (DPP) is an initiative of the European Union that promotes circular economy and sustainability in certain product groups. Its main principle is based on attaching certain metadata to a product about its life cycle and maintaining these metadata as long as the product circulates in some form. DPPs come with challenges for ICT as data and process models as well as architectures need to be established. There are light tower projects such as CIRPASS that explore diff erent avenues for such challenges and come up with recommendations alongside various national initiatives. In the PASSAT project, our aim is to support Austrian companies in the implementation of DPPs. We will analyze the requirements for DPP implementation and develop reference architectures, data models, and training material for Austrian companies and build on the EU-wide eff orts like CIRPASS. In ESWC, we want to especially focus on semantic data models for DPP and exchange ideas with the participants.
