will develop an ontology which will provide a clear, precise and formal semantics for social impact data. The_x000D_
ontology will bridge the differences between the terminology and indicators used by the individual clients,_x000D_
providing a common basis for building comparable custom evaluation frameworks, benchmarking performance_x000D_
