 ## Introduction
 
+[BIOINDUSTRY 4.0](https://bioindustry4.hub.inrae.fr/) (_"RI services to promote deep digitalization of Industrial Biotechnology - towards smart
+biomanufacturing”_) is a cutting-edge initiative bringing together academia and industry in Europe to shape the future
+of industrial biotechnology.
+
+BIOINDUSTRY 4.0 is developing data-driven approaches, exploiting AI to empower novel decision support systems and
+[Digital Twins](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_twin), the latter being to better design bio-processes and enable their real-time online control. To complete these
+services, BIOINDUSTRY 4.0 is also developing data and metadata standards to generate high quality, interoperable
+multi-scale bio-process data, the technical basis for trusted data networks and process analytical devices to provide
+real-time online monitoring of bio-processes.

+
+By refining these approaches the project aims to empower professionals from academia and industry to collaborate and
+push the boundaries of bioprocess design and control – making the biomanufacturing process faster, cheaper, and more
+sustainable.
+
+## The role of FAIRDOM SEEK
+
+An essential part of the project is the seamless collection, movement and querying of data and metadata (both offline
+and real-time), which can then be used to train
+ML models and be used to influence the Digital Twin. This is described as the "Data Fabric", with FAIRDOM-SEEK acting as
+the central metadata store.
+
+FAIRDOM-SEEK is undergoing a number of enhancements to facilitate this, including:
+
+* Integration with the [FAIR Data Station](https://fairds.fairbydesign.nl/) for metadata collection, validation and
+  processing.
+* Enhancements to the Extended Metadata Support, including addition of attribute persistent identifiers (PID's).
+* Introduction
+  of [Observation Units](https://docs.fairbydesign.nl/docs/fairdatastation/template.html#observation-unit) (describing
+  instances of observation and measurement) to satisfy the FDS model, and the Bioindustry information model for experiments.
+* Enhanced RDF generation to include statements about the extended metadata and samples (where PID's are available to
+  provide the predicate).
+* Revisiting the use of SEEK alongside an RDF triple store, to produce a knowledge graph and allow SPARQL queries over
+  the metadata.
+
+Along with the metadata, data files are also registered as references to entries in the Data Fabric data store, or another
+repository. The data may be legacy files, or a reference to a live data stream being monitored by a bioreactor sensor.
