The SEKT strategy is built around the synergy of the complementary know-how of the key European centres of excellence in Ontology and Metadata Technology, Knowledge Discovery and Human Language Technology, a leading commercial exponent of semantic technology, together with a major European ICT organisation.
The execution of SEKT is based on the integration of fundamental research, component development and integration driven by real world case studies in the public and private sectors.
SEKT embraces a Europe-wide synthesis of perspectives as a force for both commercial and social progress.
Sekt may be made by the same method as Champagne or by the tank method.
Historically much sekt was made at least partially from imported grapes; it can only be labelled as Deutscher Sekt if it is made exclusively from German grapes.
