The role of the EXCITEMENT Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is to provide the consortium with recommendations about main scientific and architectural topics, including:

• providing feedback on relevant outcomes of the project (e.g. the specifications of the open source platform and its architecture)
• pointing us to relevant directions and initiatives in the field of textual inference
