[Qrowd] updated task list and impact section

[Elena Simperl]

Dear all,

thank you for the productive discussions this morning. As mentioned in 
the call, there was a slight mismatch between the task list in the wiki 
and the deadlines discussed in the weekly calls.

I have updated the task list at 
https://grips.semantic-web.at/display/QROW/Proposal+ICT+-+15+-+2014 to 
better reflect reality. The page also includes a summary of the action 
items and decisions agreed during the call.

As promised in the call, I had a look at the impact section, which this 
week should be revised by Ontos. The new version, which people should 
work on, is available at 
https://grips.semantic-web.at/download/attachments/51809713/impact_elena.docx 


Compared to the previous versions, I have added some new subheadings 
which complement the impacts listed in the work program.  They are 
motivated by the general guidelines found in the proposal template and 
by the structure and scope of the evaluation forms that will be used to 
grade our proposal.  I kindly ask Ontos, SWC and REEEP, who will revise 
this document over the next two weeks to work on these sections as well. 
In particular, the part on societal challenges would explain how our 
energy business case will impact society and environmental development.

My general comment to the current text is that we need to be bolder. 
We're far away from over-selling our proposal...too far away, I would 
say :-) Also, reviewers like graphics showing market developments, 
charts of some sort showing the role of open/linked data in industries 
relevant to the proposal etc. I'd appreciate it if the partners who will 
produce the next iterations of the section would try to implement this. 
This is the most important section in the proposal, as it is weighed 50% 
more than the other two parts.

@Robert, Andreas: it would be nice if you could send us a paragraph on 
the societal implications of your business case. Societal in this 
context means the societal challenges pursued in H2020 (health and 
wellbeing, energy, transport & mobility, security and privacy). You 
don't need to address all of them, but maybe you could come up with a 
something along the lines of the use of open data to improve 
productivity, improve transportation planning (thus less CO2 
emissions...) etc.
