Publication list

February 12, 2024

The publications listed in this document refer to contributions with at least one co-author associated with
the Big Data Analytics Platform (BDAP) team. Numerous publications are the result of fruitful collaborations
with JRC colleagues and external partners. The activities that led to BDAP (also known as JEODPP) started
as a JRC pilot project on Big Data back in 2015. Publications by BDAP team members prior to this date are
not listed in this document.
