Wild Card's description: 

Today's growing wealth of digital data in Europe is poorly exploited. Advances in storage, pervasive computing, digital sensors and instrumentation have led to massive growth in the volume of data collected and the number and complexity of data repositories. This growing wealth of data has an increasing potential to yield great benefits to science as it contains vital hidden knowledge. Typically, to extract that knowledge requires data mining over combinations of data from multiple data resources. New intelligent data maining tools applied to stndardized and shared Eurpean R&D digital information resources may lead to series of interesting interdisciplinary discoveries.
