A Holistic Synthetic Data Lifecycle Platform Towards Next-Gen Auto-Compliance
In SYNTACTIC, Suite5 is responsible for FAIR-based data curation, metadata enrichment and provenance tracking within the platform's data lifecycle management layer — the machinery that makes every synthetic dataset traceable and reusable. This covers persistent identifiers and W3C PROV-O provenance records across datasets and transformations, automated curation pipelines with schema validation, metadata harmonised with DCAT-AP and related EU standards, and versioning, lineage search and auditable deletion through the whole life of a dataset.
Suite5 also contributes to the Interoperability Gateway that connects the platform to European Data Spaces, open EU repositories and flagship initiatives, and takes part in the aerospace pilot, where synthetic SatCom network, RF and vision-dynamics datasets are generated to support the EU IRIS² initiative.
European organisations face a double bind. Real-world data in many sensitive domains is scarce, fragmented, biased or too confidential to share, while the obligations that govern its use — GDPR, the AI Act, the Data Act and sector-specific rules — keep expanding. Synthetic data can close the data gap, but current pipelines offer little proof that a generated dataset is representative, unbiased and lawful to use, which leaves organisations unable to rely on it where it would help most.
SYNTACTIC builds a European “one-stop-shop” platform for the entire synthetic data lifecycle, organised as five toolboxes over a FAIR-by-design foundation: synthetic data generation, with multi-modal privacy-preserving generative models, digital-twin augmentation, model unlearning, robustness and explainability; regulatory auditing and management, with automated checks against GDPR, the AI Act and the Data Act, translation of legal obligations into technical ones, and auditable DPIA/FRIA workflows; data lifecycle management, covering provenance, curation, versioning, annotation and benchmarking against real-world data; cybersecurity, enforcing zero-trust, threat intelligence and DevSecOps; and an interoperability gateway that connects securely and semantically to European Data Spaces and initiatives such as the AI Regulatory Sandboxes and AI-on-Demand. A dedicated Knowledge Hub adds guided workflows, training modules and best practice to raise AI literacy and compliance awareness among European SMEs and professionals.
The platform is developed in an agile, iterative cycle and validated in six pilots spanning telecommunications, maritime, Green Deal and industrial compliance, finance, aerospace (IRIS²) and healthcare — each measuring gains in data quality and representativeness, bias mitigation, regulatory alignment and secure data-space interoperability. By coupling generative modelling with compliance-by-design, SYNTACTIC aims to reduce the cost and time of compliance and widen access to high-quality synthetic datasets, with results reusable beyond the project.
