The Court of Justice benefits from the services of CELLAR as all the Case law is hosted there. In addition, the CELLAR team and the team responsible for the publication of the Case law at the Court work closely together to ensure that incidents are solved rapidly and that the Case law of the Court of Justice is available as quickly as possible. We sometimes call on them to launch specific requests and we always receive very clear answers. We greatly thank the CELLAR team for the constant help and support!

...We really appreciated the work we did together early last year, where we identified the process and contact points for making sure that our urgent publications are available on EUR-Lex on time, especially in case of non-working hours and around public holidays. We particularly appreciate your proactive approach, most recently in December 2021, where you enquired about any planned urgent publications and agreed with our team on whom to contact in case of issues. We also thank you for transmitting to us information on any planned or ad-hoc downtime of your systems.

Our team at the Joint Research Centre (JRC), Unit JRC.I.1 - Monitoring, Indicators & Impact Evaluation, is greatly benefiting from the use of Cellar. Within our Cultural Gems application (https://culturalgems.jrc.ec.europa.eu/), i.e. an open source web app conceived to map cultural and creative places in European cities, we re-engineered the data to the principles of linked open data and developed an ontology for both entity definitions and data resources: https://data.europa.eu/data/datasets/9ee32efe-af81-48e4-8ad6-a0db06802e03 At the JRC, an official Sparql service is missing, and therefore we relied on Cellar in order to host our ontology, allowing users and citizens to interact and query the data, thus maximising the interoperability of the application and the overall impact of our project. We greatly thank the Cellar team for the constant help and support!
