description: The COGITO deliverable D9.14 “Report on standardisation outcomes promotion efforts” reports on the work related to standardisation that has been carried out in the second year of the COGITO project in the context of Task 9.4. The goal of this task is to promote COGITO standardisation proposals to different standardisation bodies, committees, and working groups. To do so, the most relevant and impacting bodies are being identified and contacts are being made to collect feedback on their future plans and interest in the COGITO standardisation contributions.

The roadmap for the second year of the project included the conduction of three surveys: one to review the partners’ current participation or willingness to participate in the standardisation efforts, another one to gather the standards being used throughout the project and a third one to evaluate what COGITO results could be promoted to standardisation. The deliverable presents the outcome of these surveys as well as two standardisation contributions already prepared, namely a) a digital twin use case contribution to the - currently under development - document ISO/IEC WD 30172 (Digital Twin - Use cases) in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 41 (Internet of Things and Digital Twin) and b) the digitalised construction geometric specification rules defined in the project that could be of interest for standardisation.

The deliverable also reports on other standardisation-related activities performed by members of the consortium, sometimes in collaboration with other sister projects: participation in working groups and workshops, writing of whitepapers and submission of a proposal for the HSbooster.eu 1st Open Call.

Finally, the deliverable presents a self-assessment of the project in terms of standardisation, based on a set of recommendations on the practice of standardisation focused on both researchers working in projects and on the indicators used to assess standardization practices. These recommendations for indicators have led the project to update the standardisation indicators that were defined in the proposal to include a richer set of qualitative and quantitative indicators that better reflect the work being performed in the project.

The deliverable concludes with the definition of a standardisation roadmap for the third year of the project. The roadmap focuses on continuing the identification of potential project outcomes that could be promoted to standardisation (the consortium will organise a workshop focused on this), the preparation of these contributions for submission to the various corresponding standardisation initiatives and the organization of a standardisation workshop to present these results to relevant standardisation stakeholders.

A second version of this deliverable, updated with the standardisation work carried out during the third year of the project is planned to be delivered by the end of the project.
